Childbirth Education Class

Bi Weekly Workshop

This is a full day course from 9-4. It covers all of the content in prenatal one and two plus gives extra time to address more specific questions / fears. We will have several hands on activities, newborn care demonstrations, comfort techniques, and guided relaxation time to help you feel confident in leading your own birth experience. I will also guide partners through breastfeeding basics so you can establish a good foundation for nurturing your baby upon arrival. The whole idea for the workshop is that parents can make more informed decisions through their pregnancy and birth experience, they can feel confident in their body's ability to birth, prevent birth injuries and minimal intervention, and aide in a comfortable, peaceful transition to parenthood.

Prenatal One:

In this session clients/couples can expect resources to aide in a healthy pregnancy, how to support your pelvic floor and core and a general understanding of the physiology of birth. I offer education on the three stages of labour, pain management and interventions in childbirth, as well as preparation for postpartum recovery.

In this session I will introduce basic hypnobirthing techniques and rebozo belly sifting for pregnancy comfort.

I am here to offer education so you can make informed decisions thereby empowering your birth experience.

I highly recommend that both partners attend each session.

Please note: This two part series is the same content as the in person weekend workshop.

Prenatal Two:

In this session we will be building on the foundation of prenatal one. This will include hands on practice with the comfort techniques using the birth ball, acupressure, counter pressure and chairs.

I will offer education on spinning baby exercises, relaxation techniques, visualization, prevention of tears and lamaze breathing, and what to expect in your postpartum recovery.

I offer breastfeeding basics and how the partner can aide in a successful breastfeeding journey, followed by newborn care and what to expect in the first month; for mom and dad!

We discuss the transition into parenthood and play a game to ignite the spark that started off your journey as a couple. 

*This session is the second in a two part series. I highly recommend that both partners attend each session.

Please note: This two part series is the same content as the in person weekend workshop.
