For women and birth proffessionals
Psoas Savvy
1-day workshop
A workshop for understanding the primal psoas. Open to women and all those who tend to and support the birthing community.
Understanding the importance of NOT manipulating the psoas but rather changing the language of psoas as the Messenger of Core Integrity is vital for successful natural birth.
Learn how prenatal exercise and yoga often disrupts this primal messenger. Become Psoas Savvy!
Support a healthy psoas:
- Offers skeletal support for releasing back pain and tension throughout pregnancy and birth
- Releases unfounded fear deepening a woman’s instinctual responses
- Ignites the intuitive belly brain, centers, empowering every aspect of becoming a mother
- Shortens labor and eases birth offering their baby guidance through the spiral descent
- Enhances a woman shape-shifting, opening; offering an effective alternative to induction
- Supports the functionally balanced pelvis through each transition and postpartum recovery
- Provides a core sense of integrity, trust, and pleasure through the journey of motherhood
The workshop is taught by Liz Koch, the world-renowned Psoas Queen, teacher and author and co-taught by Louise Timm, doula and movement nerd and owner of Copenhagen Doulas.
It was great to be together in this travel of getting ready for birth and we both enjoyed the hands-on exercises and the theoretical part. Louise and Karina Isolde are well educated and experienced, they are well spoken and has great empathy. And then it was great to meet other pregnant couples from around the world. I definitely recommend others to do the same.
Copenhagen Doulas was an amazing learning experience for me and my wife.
Karina Isolde and Louise do an amazing job teaching and supporting parents through the amazing journey that is pregnancy and birth.
I would specially like to highlight that the courses are personalized for every couple, making it an unique experience. Karina Isolde and Louise thank you for all the love and support during our journey.
The ‘Ready for Birth and Beyond’ class put our minds at ease by giving us extensive information about birth and teaching us how to relieve stress and anxiety about the process. Karina Isolde and Louise are forces of nature who taught us a less scary way to think about birth, how to cope, as well as how to manage relationships with medical professionals involved in pregnancy and birth. As an added bonus, we build a great network of moms who continue to meet and support each other!”
Doing the ‘Ready for Birth’ preparation class with Copenhagen Doulas was one of the best experiences I had during my pregnancy. I could share my feelings and be at ease. I was extremely scared about the idea of birth and delivery, as a first time mom, but learning how to keep calm through talking, various exercises and yoga, really helped me through. And of course, extremely thankful for the mommy group with whom I can relate every experience
I found Copenhagen Doulas and signed up to their ‘Ready for Birth’ class and I couldn’t be happier that I did. The course helped me build mental and spiritual strength for the road ahead, not just internally but with my partner too, bonding us closer together. The course also acted as a social springboard too and our group still keeps in regular contact, upholding and supporting each other which I am so grateful for. I highly recommend this course for anyone who is pregnant and wants to add joy and confidence into the process!
