Childbirth Education
We understand that expectant parents are often filled with questions and anxieties about the upcoming labor and birth of their baby. That's why we offer childbirth education classes to help you prepare for the big day. Our classes emphasize natural childbirth with an emphasis on relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, nutrition guidelines and more to assist you in having an positive and empowering birthing experience.
“Giving birth is not a matter of pushing, expelling the baby, but of yielding, surrendering to birth energy.” — Marie Reid

Class Offerings
Our childbirth education classes are a great way for expecting parents to learn more about the childbirth process and the following postpartum period. These beneficial and informative classes are presented by a licensed and experienced midwife. Our classes are tailored to meet the needs of parents planning to birth at home or in a birth center, allowing them to receive the information they need to make informed decisions about their birth plans. During our five-week Childbirth Education Series, some of the topics we will discuss include pregnancy, labor, pain management options, and what to expect during the postpartum period. We will also answer any questions parents may have, in order to help prepare you for an optimal birth experience in a community setting. This childbirth education series is invaluable for expectant parents looking to gain knowledge and confidence in their pregnancy journey.
