Birth Classes
Instinctive Birth, the childbirth education class for those aligned with preparation, presence and the power within.
The Families These Classes Are For:
Want to avoid unnecessary interventions
Value preparation and confidence
Want practical comfort tools
Plan home, birth center, hospital birth
Want to feel calm and comforted during birth
We’ll walk through the physical process of labor including what is happening in your body during each phase, how your contractions will work to prepare your cervix, and how your hormones will guide the rhythm of the entire process. But we won’t stop there!
Birth isn’t just about mechanics. It’s about sensations, emotions, instincts, and empowerment and we want to help you prepare for all of it!
You’ll learn to recognize the subtle shifts of early labor and how to move with your body rather than against it. We’ll explore comfort in a hands-on way that includes touch, pressure, counter-pressure, breath, water, sound and vocalization. These will become tools that you will intuitively reach for when you need them.
This isn’t your typical childbirth class… It is Instinctive Birth, a childbirth class designed to help you connect to the wisdom you already carry while preparing you mentally and physically to feel confident and capable through every part of labor and birth.
Mindset matters! You’ll learn how to:
Manage fear and anxiety
Stay grounded during contractions
Use focus and visualization for comfort
Build confidence through knowledge
Understand the emotional journey of birth
