Child Birth Classes

Having a child is an exciting time in one’s life. Our Childbirth Education Series offers unbiased, evidence based information in order to effectively make the many choices during this amazing time. We truly believe that birth is a normal life process and women’s bodies are designed perfectly for childbearing. Based on the motto of the International Childbirth Education Association, “freedom of choice based on knowledge of alternatives” this course offers a curriculum dedicated to educating parents about options and alternatives. A few of the topics that will be discussed are relaxation techniques, writing a realistic birth plan, comfort measures in labor, choosing a healthcare provider/place of birth, stages of labor, benefits of a doula/labor support, medical interventions, cesarean birth/VBAC, and introductions to breastfeeding and baby care. This class is interactive with activities and a multimedia presentation format. Classes are kept small for optimal learning and one-on-one attention. All mothers are welcome regardless of chosen place of birth, sexual orientation, or relationship status.
