During my workshops, partners practice the lift and tuck and various counter-pressure massage techniques that actually help manage labor discomfort. You will leave knowing exactly where to stand, how to apply firm pressure, and how to advocate for your partner when things get intense. Many partners feel helpless in the birth room because they do not know the physical techniques of support. They want to help but worry about being in the way or making things worse. In our Aura labor prep sessions, we remove that fear by turning theory into muscle memory. We teach specific, actionable techniques: * **Counter-Pressure & Massage:** We practice the exact spots for hip squeezes and lower back counter-pressure that alleviate contraction pain. * **The Lift & Tuck:** A hands-on position to relieve lower back pressure, which is essential for back-labor. * **Physical Advocacy:** How to help your partner move between labor positions, using birth balls or gravity-assisted squats, without needing a nurse to show you how. * **The Emotional Anchor:** We discuss how to hold space, when to advocate for the birth plan, and how to keep the birth room vibe calm, whether that is dimming lights or managing the playlist. You will also learn the B.R.A.I.N. framework together. This helps you make decisions as a unit, ensuring that if labor takes an unexpected turn, like an induction or C-section, you are not just reacting, you are choosing together. Whether you join us at our Kalyan Nagar studio or via our interactive Zoom masterclass, the goal remains the same: you leave feeling like a prepared, confident partner, not just a guest in the room. ## About Aura Birthing I am Shree, and at Aura, I do not believe in passive birth partners. We make sure that when the day comes, you know exactly how to support her, from massage techniques to navigating hospital decisions together.
