I offer private classes in your home or mine.

Typically we meet for 2 or 3 sessions for 2 hours each class.

Partners are encouraged to attend!

  

Classes are tailored to the subjects that you wish to cover. Topics can include and are not limited to:

  • relaxation for birth
  • breathing patterns
  • postions for labor
  • postions for birth
  • the stages of labor and birth
  • timing contractions
  • early labor plans
  • pain medications
  • cesarean birth
  • common interventions at hospital
  • clarifying your desires for birth  

  

COST: $80 each class, minimum of 2 classes

(However - if there is a specific topic you wish covered for one session only, that is fine.)

If you prefer a group class, there are many options in Sonoma County. I can make referrals.

Predictably and paradoxically, when women address the emotional aspects of their transition to motherhood their potential for a normal birth is increased. Fear and anxiety are lessened and the body has greater resources available for adjustment to the birth.

  

When  given the opportunity to talk about the emotional aspects of their pregnancies, births and motherhood, women feel an increase in their self confidence. A sense of empowerment lies in their exploration of themselves. This is not just the birth of your baby, it is also the birth of your new identity as mother. You will walk into your birthing room as someone’s daughter, but you will walk out as someone’s mother.
