Modern Childbirth Education

This is not your typical, boring childbirth class and we don't subscribe to a one-size-fits all "method" or ideals! Our live-taught, online childbirth education classes offer a fun, interactive and comprehensive way to prepare for birth, no matter what your birth goals might include. Our students rave about this class! 

Whether you’re planning for a hospital, birth center or home birth, planning to go unmedicated, planning for an epidural as soon as possible, or aren't quite sure of your plans just yet, our childbirth class offer the evidence-based information you’ll need to feel confident during birth, and make informed and sound decisions that are best for your family and your needs. We give you the tools, you decide which ones, and how to use them during your birth!

Participation in childbirth ed classes is capped at 16 people (or 8 families) per series to give participants ample space and time to build connections with each other and to have their questions answered fully.

Classes are offered in weekend OR three-week series sessions that are fun, highly interactive and tailored to each family's individual birthing goals. 

Our classes offer information about: 
Pregnancy | Anatomy & Physiology of Birth | Stages of Labor | Common Second Stage Interventions | Spinning Babies® Parent Education & Information | Informed Consent | Hormones of Birth | Discomfort in Labor | Coping & Relaxation Techniques | Comfort Measures | Planning for Postpartum Success
