Birth is transformative. It is a time of significant physical, emotional and psychological transition. The research is resounding - the more support, evidence-based information and encouragement a woman receives during pregnancy, labor and the first year post-birth, the greater she, her baby and family will thrive in the years to come.
In my childbirth classes, we will cover topics such as anatomy and physiology of labor, hormones and stages of labor, medical interventions, comfort measures for labor, what to expect during the postpartum period, basics of breastfeeding and newborn care. Beyond that, we will also explore what is important to you and why, what your wishes and dreams are for this birth and how to soften into and invite all aspects of this experience.
