Childbirth Education:
Knowledge is power. Taking childbirth education classes helps to empower the expectant couple in order to make informed decisions
regarding their birth. When looking for a childbirth education class that will fulfill your expectations be sure to ask for an outline
of the class and what type of information is being offered. Many hospitals and doctor's offices offer their own childbirth education
classes. While good information is usually presented in these classes, often they are geared to a more medical approach to
birth. If your desire is to birth with as little medical intervention as possible, be sure that the class you attend focuses on comfort
measures and creating an environment of safety for the mother so that she can allow her body to relax and work with her
labor.
I offer independent childbirth classes on a weekly bases. My classes cover all of the basics of childbirth education,
with an emphasis on comfort techniques, relaxation, ritual, and creating a safe birth environment. I also offer private classes for mothers on bedrest or
for couples unable to attend weekly classes, and intensive weekend classes. Weekend classes are NOT intended to take the
place of regular weekly classes. Please email me for class rates and availability.
