Complete Childbirth Class

~ a six-week series of dynamic, organic, gourmet childbirth classes ~

Complete preparation for any possible thing that arises in birth!  We focus on doing the next best thing, in love and awareness.

Topics covered:

•  Building a Pain-coping Mindset – tried and true ways of managing pain (emotional or physical), a different one in each class!

•  Navigating LaborLand - Not a regurgitation of Obstetrical Information, rather, assistance in self-discovery where you uncover your own best ways of coping with the unknown of labor and birth.

•  Three Kinds of Knowing -  Primordial knowing: your innate maternal instinct, Modern knowing: being savvy about what’s happening in the hospital, and *most* importantly, Knowing thyself: before you can know where you are going, you need to know from where you came and where you stand now.

•  Exploring Possibilities – We serve the whole birth pie, not just a sliver of “ideal” birth scenarios.  Those are easy to fantasize about and nearly impossible to achieve!

•  Fathers and Partners – We acknowledge that fathers and partners are opening to the profound power of birth too!  We share practical tips for coping – yours AND hers – and what’s really needed from you to support the birth process.

•  Working Through Fears – Cage a birth tiger once and for all!

•  When Medical Support Is Needed – How to give birth from within, even when an epidural or a cesarean birth becomes necessary.

•  Looking Ahead to Postpartum Life – What you *really* need to line up in order to have a smooth postpartum transition.


Birthing From Within Childbirth Classes meet for six weeks, on weekday evenings from 6:30pm – 9:00 pm.
