What does a Birthing From Within class look like?

​Birthing From Within supports all birth and parenting options and is designed to lay the foundation for birthing in awareness, no matter the birth location, outcome, or events of your birth.  ​
This is an intimate group, where both mothers and partners feel safe to explore their expectations, fears and insights. Partners are active participants in my class, not just as support people, but in preparation for their own rite of passage.  Storytelling, art, and pain-coping practices are just a few of the transformative, holistic activities that you will experience in this class. Nutrition, stages of labor, optimal fetal positioning, comfort measures, getting information and making decisions, pushing, compassionate interventions, embracing the unexpected and preparing for postpartum are examples of topics that may be explored, depending on the needs of each particular class.  

Birthing Again

This 10-hour childbirth preparation class is designed for expectant couples that have already experienced birth together. It is an opportunity to process previous births, deepen coping practices, explore your story, and connect with your partner and your baby. 
You've already experienced the journey of childbirth and parenthood. You've read all the books. You know the facts. You still have questions, and the questions you're asking now are different than the first time around. You suspect that the answers you seek can't be found outside of yourself, but within. In this class you will have an opportunity to tell your birth story in a way that nurtures healing and growth. You will explore your experience of the childbearing year in terms of the most ancient and universal human story: The Hero's Journey. You will discover your Living Question that will help you to know what to do when you don't know what to do. Each class also contains plenty of direct experience with mindfulness practices that you can use when coping with intensity as well as practical tips that you can use to help support your body's natural processes, make informed decisions, plan for postpartum, and be there for the laboring mother. (Parents with previous birth experience are also welcome to participate in a Birthing From Within course, if there is no Birthing Again class being offered when you need it.)
