Aromatherapy for Pregnancy
and Birth
We are excited to be offering this relaxed, informative and interactive two hour workshop, where you will be guided through the safe use of essential oils for pregnancy, birth and beyond.
​
We aim for you to complete the workshop feeling empowered, relaxed, and with a great collection of extra tools in your pregnancy and birth toolkit!
​
There are many oils that can help ease pregnancy symptoms, encourage labour, and help with emotions and mindset for birth. They can help you to manage labour both physically and emotionally regardless of whether you’re hoping to achieve a natural birth, or if you're having a cesarean, or an induction . Essential oils can really help calm and support the process.
​
What does the workshop include?
As I'm sure you can already tell, essential oils will be a fantastic addition to your birth kit!- however, they are powerful plant medicine, and need to be used wisely to keep both mum and baby safe. The workshop will also cover the safety aspects of using aromatherapy, allowing you to be able to use them with confidence.

How can aromatherapy actually help me?
Essential oils have may uses and applications for pregnancy and birth. They are fantastic to use to help you relax and gently encourage labour, during those early stages to help you manage labour at home for longer - or if you're staying at home to have your baby. They can help reduce the need for other pain relief methods, and can support a calm and relaxed atmosphere. They can give you a boost just when you need it most, or help with mindset in order to navigate any changes to your expected journey through birth.
Essential oils are also useful for symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, headaches and congestion.
​
Workshops take place Sunday mornings 9.30-11.30am at Maxwell Community Centre, Borehamwood.
