About Childbirth Classes
First Time Parents: Classes are designed to increase your knowledge and decrease your fears about labor. I teach a variety of different relaxation techniques along with natural abdominal breathing, all that help to avoid any unnecessary pain. We discuss all the medical interventions that are available and current, so if you have to choose to have an intervention you know you are making the right choice for your labor, no regrets. We not only go through all the stages of labor for the average person, but also will hear labor stories from past doula clients along with their normal variations of childbirth. We discuss worries and concerns about labor, postpartum, parenting, baby care and breast-feeding, all with the primary goal of having a POSITIVE childbirth experience.
Refresher Classes: For those of you going around the second time, and have already taken classes. We'll cover all of the above but in a condensed version, highly personalized for your individual needs.
Private Classes: For those who want individualized attention.
