module: 16

for the fathers

This module is devoted to the education, grounding, and empowerment of partners. It’s about helping fathers understand what’s happening physiologically, emotionally, and energetically. This is so they can show up with steadiness and presence rather than uncertainty or fear.

Here, we’ll explore how to prepare together before birth, how to support through the waves of labor, and how to protect and nurture the postpartum space. You’ll learn that support is not about doing more, it’s about being there fully: attuned, gentle, and unwavering.

This module will guide you through:

• The emotional and physiological journey of pregnancy and birth from the partner’s perspective.

• How to read labor’s rhythms and offer physical and emotional support during each stage.

• Hands-on comfort techniques using touch, counterpressure, breath, and grounding.

• How to advocate and communicate effectively in the homebirth setting while maintaining calm.

• Supporting bonding and recovery in the immediate postpartum while protecting rest, managing visitors, and honoring the sacred quiet.

• The emotional transitions fathers experience in identity, protection, tenderness, and adjustment.

• How to build a daily rhythm of care, communication, and gratitude in the new family dynamic.
