Education, Understand, Empower.

Details.

A two-part class that is ENGAGING & FUN. Ideal for home, birthing center, and hospital births.

We meet each day for 3 hrs. 15 minutes - for a total of 6.5 hours of interactive learning that. No sitting still at a table and just listening to someone talk the whole time!

A positive birth experience depends 100% on feeling seen, heard, and being an informed, active participant in the decisions around your birth experience - whatever the outcome.

Receive evidence-based and holistic education that prepares you and your birth support person to meet the unknowns of childbirth and the first weeks of postpartum with a deeper sense of understanding about:

• Anatomy and physiology of birth, your body’s innate wisdom

• Understanding the fear/pain feedback loop

• Experiential exercises of how the nervous system responds

• Importance of movement, breath and other coping strategies

• Preparing for pushing

• Informed decision making and advocating for yourself

• Possible interventions

• Basic pelvic floor awareness

• Breast/chestfeeding

• Immediate postpartum choices

• Preparing for the first month of postpartum

• and more…..
