Featuring the Lamaze® Six Healthy Birth Practices, we will explore the tools to have a safe and healthy birth.

What You'll Learn:

1. Understanding Your Body: Dive deep into the process of childbirth. Learn about the stages of labor, the anatomy involved, and how your body adapts to bringing your baby into the world.

3. Comfort Measures: From massage techniques to birthing balls, explore a range of comfort measures to help ease discomfort and promote a positive birth experience.

4. Partner Involvement: Partners play a crucial role in childbirth. Learn how your partner can provide support, encouragement, and assistance throughout labor, delivery, and postpartum.

5. Medical Interventions: Understand common medical interventions and procedures associated with childbirth, empowering you to make informed decisions about your birth plan.

6. And so much more!​

Group Class Series

Saturdays: 10:00am - 1:00pm

​

We recommend that you take a childbirth class series around the end of your second trimester and the beginning of your third trimester. This allows you time to take in the information, do your own research on the topics discussed, and have conversations with your provider(s) before you deliver your baby.

​

Investment: $500

 

Your options are:

• Pay in full at time of registration, OR

• Pay a non-refundable retainer of $150 to register, then pay a portion at every class, to be paid in full by the last class.

​

​If you need a sliding scale and/or a longer payment plan, please inform me during the registration process.

No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Everyone is welcome.​
