Learn a variety of techniques for
creating the birth you desire at home or in a hospital. Drawing on wisdom from various birthing philosophies
including Bradley, Hypnobirthing and Birthing from Within as well as medical research and our own professional experience
as doulas, you will learn about pregnancy, labor, and newborn care. This class is uniquely designed with
open dialogue, interactive exercises, and science-based facts. Within this
comprehensive class setting, we also recognize the significant and powerful emotional transition of pregnancy, childbirth,
and new parenthood. The community created during the class will be a source of support through your birth and beyond.
This
class is based on the fundamental belief that labor is a natural process and that women’s bodies have the capacity and
innate wisdom to birth their babies.
