A comprehensive 18 hour childbirth class which includes nutrition, informed consent, and much more. This class will meet for six Wednesdays from 6pm-9pm.
This series is my favorite to teach! It is full of joy, play, and expectation. And the best thing about Mindful Birth is that each series is different. This isn’t a canned program; rather it is a creative and innovative conversation between the instructor and students. I hope you’ll join the conversation!
Dates: January 9- February 13
Mindful Birth is a 6 week series that grew organically from the private classes I created for individuals. I’ve been teaching this series since 2009. It is appropriate for women choosing home, birth center, or hospital birth; medicated or unmedicated.
Expectant women may attend alone or with their partner/friend/doula. The defining philosophy behind this series is that attitude and expectation are key to having a positive birth experience. The classes are 3 hours each and meet weekly. The series breaks down like this:
Class 1: Enjoying a low-risk pregnancy (nutrition, exercise, positive story, meditation)
Class 2: Physiology of normal birth
Class 3: Variations (labor dystocia, prodromal labor, interventions, informed consent)
Class 4: Celebrating your birth (an overview and practice of many coping techniques)
Class 5: Planning for your birthplace (understanding options of chosen birthplace, birth plans, packing a birth bag)
Class 6: Comprehensive birth rehearsal and postpartum prep
You will receive two books as part of the series: Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Newborn by Penny Simkin and Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth by Ina May Gaskin.
Registration is required and space is limited. A deposit of 75.00 is required to confirm your space. The balance of 200.00 is due at the first class.
