Childbirth Education

I think childbirth education is a crucial component of the prenatal experience. It equips expecting parents with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the complexities of labor and birth and empower them to make informed decisions that align with their values and preferences.

That said, I know there are many people who think classes are unnecessary (I am talking to you commenters on social media posts!). With a myriad of sources of free online information available, it can even feel that childbirth education classes are a thing of the past. However, I have found that piecing together information from YouTube, social media, etc., can result in gaps in knowledge. I also think that simply trusting your doctors or nurses to tell you what to do, because “they know what they are doing,” can lead to feelings of disappointments, disempowerment, and even trauma for some.

By participating in childbirth education classes, you can get a comprehensive understanding of what to expect, include your partner in the process, and, in the case of group classes, gain camaraderie with others in your stage of life.

At the end of my class, I hope that feel well informed, supported, and empowered to follow your instincts and advocate for your wishes!

My classes touch on births in any setting - home, birth center, or hospital.

My classes focus on:

  • Body and mind preparation

  • Mechanics and physiology of birth

  • Emotions of labor

  • Coping at each stage of labor

  • Positions for comfort and labor progress

  • Interventions (including induction and C-Section)

  • Decision Making

  • Advocacy (feeling heard, getting your wants and needs met)

  • Early postpartum and the basics of breastfeeding
