CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION

Birth is a normal physiological process. I believe that with education, preparation, and the help of a well-trained support team you can have an empowering birth experience. 

I teach a system of labor techniques in which the birthing person and their partner/support person play an active part. It is a simple method of increasing self-awareness, teaching people how to deal with the stress of labor by tuning in to their own bodies.

What you will learn

Every class includes the essentials of physical, mental & emotional relaxation, labor rehearsal, and videos. 

Potential Class topics include

• Pregnancy Physiology

• Nutrition & Exercise

• The Birth Partner's Role

• Your Birth Preferences/Vision/Plan

• Variations and Complications

• First Stage Labor: Introduction & Advanced Techniques

• Second Stage Labor: Introduction & Advanced Techniques

• The New Family: Breastfeeding & Postpartum Issues

Class Dates

I teach private, customized classes (topics and length will be tailored to fit your specific needs, depending on whether this is your first baby, where you are giving birth, etc.). 

class Fee: $75/hour live zoom, $90 in-person at the Birth First education Center
