No lengthy lectures!
These dynamic classes engage all of your senses.

Every class is unique- classes are led by the parents, not by a rigid curriculum.
Teaching from four perspectives

Birth is a rite of passage for mothers and fathers. In this class series, parents are treated as parents, and not as encyclopedias of birth information. We examine birth from four perspectives: the mother, the father, the baby and our culture. Discussion and exploration of several topics help us to walk the labyrinth of birth in confidence.

* How do I know I am ready to parent this baby?
* What do I need to know to feel ready to give birth?
* How will I support her during birth?
* How will I deal with the sensations of labor?
* What role does the baby have during the birth?
* How will I know when I am in labor?

These topics, and so many others, are a starting point; where do you want to go from here? These classes are alive, organic and flowing.

These classes look at mothers and fathers in a whole way; not just as a birthing mechanism, but addressing emotional and spiritual aspects of birth as well
. In my classes you will learn about birthing in awareness; What does this moment need? The choices we make when we are not in pain can vary greatly from those we would make when faced with unwished for surprises and the pain and exhaustion of labor. You will leave this series with tools to deal with the surprises that arise during your birth, and will serve you as you forge ahead into parenting.
 
Be open to having your beliefs about birth challenged!
Be open to the process and not just the destination.
