Educational Classes

Combining Gentle Birth, Whole Body Pregnancy, & Pro-Doula methodologies, my birthing classes focus on assisting the parent(s) in recognizing the many ways in which we gather information and understanding. We will explore how learning reaches far beyond what is in our heads; there is an innate knowing often called our intuition. I work with birth from the birther, partner, infant, and cultural perspectives, exploring tools that parents already have but may not recognize within themselves. The topics include labor support, working through unexpected circumstances, bodywork and nutrition in pregnancy, decision making when you don’t know what to do, pain coping, storytelling, and much more.
