Knowledge Is Power!
Especially when it comes to your birthing day.
Our childbirth education class is packed with tools and information for both you and your partner, beyond what you might get in a standard hospital course. We delve deeper into the birthing process, highlighting the empowering perspective on how your body was designed to give birth. We also shed more light on various birthing options, coping strategies, and medical interventions. Utilizing this knowledge, you can formulate a “birthing concept” to help you create an open dialog with your medical providers and ensure you are all on the same page. And it’s not just for the mamas! This interactive workshop will help your partner build their labor and delivery support toolbox, full of coping measures, yoga poses, acupressure points, breathing techniques and more.
Recommended at 20+ weeks, dress comfortably, and bring snacks. These workshops fill up quickly, so plan ahead and register!

All your tips were amazing, especially the one not to exactly listen to staff! Lol they didn’t want me standing but once I got a chair to labor in and we could go to the bathroom I tried to stand and rock my hips. No one said anything because the monitor was fine! Pitocin sucks… but it allowed me to accomplish my dream of a VBAC. And same with your classes and tips!!!

The birthing class we took my first pregnancy was provided by the hospital and so clinical and medical focused. This was such a contrast and exactly what we were looking for. We both left feeling empowered and Chris feels like he’s prepared to be a more active participant than he was the last time around.
