in the birth of your child:
Expectant Mothers these days
read everything they can get their hands on. But does intellectual
knowledge of the Stages
of Labor help you birth?
In our society we arm ourselves with knowledge thinking that we will be able to control the outcome of everything if we only intellectualize it. The course Birthing From Within addresses many things most pregnant women would never find easily in a book.
In either a series of four classes or a weekend intensive session, you will be introduced to:
- The physiological response the body experiences during labour.
- The stages of labour.
- Pain coping options.
- Different labour outcomes – vacuum, forceps, caesarean.
- Your labour fantasy versus reality of labour.
- Keeping yourself healthy both physically and mentally. Baby care and health.
- Support secrets for your birth partner.
There is a special class for birth partners only, as well as, a postpartum reunion for everyone to show off their babies!

me if interested.

"From the moment we started the class we knew it was going to be a unique and very special experience. The humour and realistic approach facilitated an open environment for real conversation and concerns. The gentle guidance provided gave us the sense of preparedness for the unknown. Thank you for a beautiful experience that we will always remember fondly. " - Kira, Justin & Kohen
their second or third child:
The needs of
expectant parents having their 2nd or 3rd
child is vastly different from first time parents.
Often parents are so busy with their child or children that they feel
guilty for not taking the time to do all the things they did to connect to
the first pregnancy.
Also, there is less time to connect with each other as a couple due to
current family needs.
Birthing Again
classes
allow couples to reconnect with each other, as well as, with their new
baby.
Classes are participant driven and are tailored to each couple's specific
needs. Topics can include, but not limited to:
-
Review of Birthing From Within

-
Explore new ways to cope as your family expands.
Birthing Again classes are scheduled based on demand. Please contact me if interested.
I was working with, I finally understood that women
have to prepare for birth in their heart and soul, not their head.
And that giving birth is something a woman does in her body, not in her head."
