Birth Preparation Class
Many Parents ask me "What do I need to know to give birth? How can I be better prepared to give birth unmedicated? How can I know I can do this if I've never been in labor before?"
It's true, going through pregnancy for the first time, feels like you're going toward the unknown..
How do you prepare for the unknown? I believe you have all the answers within you. With a little guidance, practice, and intuition, you can have an empowering birth, get closer with your partner, and have a smooth beginning for parenthood.
In this course we will examine our beliefs about birth and explore how our mindset can shift to be better prepared.
We look at birth as a transformative experience and emphasizes the importance of emotional and mental preparation. It helps parents prepare not only for the birth, but for postpartum and parenthood as well.
I integrate the Birthing From Within™ philosophy, which finds that the essence of childbirth preparation is self discovery, and how to give birth in awareness.
