Birth
And BeYond offers classes in childbirth preparation. Our unique
classes are lead by Melissa Cowl, a mother of six, a Childbirth
Educator and Certified Doula with six years of professional
experience. Classes meet for four weeks during the last
trimester of pregnancy and regroup after the birth of the last
baby in the group.
Melissa provides
an open forum for discussion with time to come back each week to
further explore everybody's questions and concerns. Since our
classes are limited to six couples a lot of personal attention
is given to each person. This feature also facilitates many
opportunities for the sharing of experiences which, quite often,
forms close relationships and long-lasting friendships with
others in the group. Our warm atmosphere is set in a
non-clinical environment creating a welcoming feeling. Response
to our dads-only class has been exceptional. Fathers are
given the chance to speak candidly with other fathers about
their role in the birth of their child. Postpartum gatherings
give us the opportunity to reconnect with each other, share
birth stories, talk about life with newborn babies and discuss
parenting issues in those first weeks after the birth. We create
a safe, nurturing class environment filled with humour and
warmth which invite parents to discover their personal strengths
and wisdom.
