Birth without fear!
"Have faith in yourself
The child birth preparation classes focus on being active throughout labor by encouraging mobility. Women will learn true and false labor, the normal progression of labor, the physiology of labor and birth, comfort measures, post delivery health, breastfeeding, and infant care.
Some women choose to give birth using no medications, relying instead on relaxation techniques and controlled breathing for pain. With natural childbirth, the mother is in charge, usually with a labor assistant (Doula) gently guiding and supporting her through the stages of labor.

Frequent questions
When should I take the classes?
The second trimester is the best time and a refresher class around 3 weeks before your due date.
I’m already in my third trimester, I won’t have enough time to make the six series in 6 weeks; do you offer a crash course?
Yes, we do. We offer private classes, usually during the evening. Additional charges may apply.
I'm considering an epidural. Do I still need to take classes?
Yes! Regardless whether or not you choose medication, there are many decisions to be made during labor and birth. Taking our Childbirth Education class helps pinpoint your specific needs throughout the process and identify ways for you to be supported.
