Childbirth Education
Childbirth Preparation classes are designed to teach the skills and information to birth confidently and calmly with a minimum of medical interventions.
The focus of these classes is to equip the birth parent and their partner to engage in the labor process with a knowledge of the latest breathing techniques, mental calming methods, and relaxation tools to eliminate fear and experience an empowering birth whatever their choices or circumstances.
Presentations about medical interventions, pain medications, emergency complications, cesareans, and making informed choices.
