Childbirth Preparation Class

My childbirth classes are designed to normalize the birth process through many different techniques. I teach a collective of birth techniques to fit the need of every person in the class. My classes are kept to a small and intimate size (no more then five couples) so everyone has a chance to share their birth desires and ask any questions he or she might have. The classes are a conversation-based setting and I encourage questions and discussion so we all can learn from each other.

By taking the class, I hope that you will feel more confident and prepared to have the birth experience you want. By presenting you with the different vocabulary of birth and different situations you will be able to find the techniques and philosophy that best suit you and your lifestyle.
