"Gentle touch communicates safety faster than words can."

Touch releases endorphins, the body's natural pain relief. This session guides you through specific light-touch massage techniques (often called anchoring or soothing) that can be used during labour. It helps partners communicate love and support physically, which can ground the birthing person during intensity.

When to listen

  • During surges to provide counter-focus.
  • Between surges to deepen relaxation.
  • To relieve tension in the shoulders or back.
  • To create a physical connection.

What you'll practice

  • Light touch massage for the back.
  • Firm grounding touch for the shoulders.
  • Hand-holding techniques.
  • Reading body language for consent.
This session is designed to support relaxation and preparation. It is not medical care and does not replace guidance from healthcare professionals.
