Birth Classes
Demystify labor, birth and postpartum with inviting, empowering classes. Dive deep with introspective 4-part sessions. Or brush up on pain coping and comfort with a afternoon refresher course.
Go deeper than the physiological ins and outs of childbirth. Strengthen your ability to step into new parenthood with self-assurance. Here’s what you can expect to learn in my classes:
The Childbirth Process
From that first contraction to the first time you hold your baby, ease the haziness of the unknown by walking through the way your body (and baby) will move through labor.
The Unpacking of Fears
I’ve been there. My classes center rich Birthing from Within® processes that walk you closer to confidence as you acknowledge your worries.
The Pain Coping Mindset
We’ll explore why birth hurts and what you can do to cope. From laboring positions to relaxation techniques, you’ll build a solid coping mindset.
The Postpartum Healing Phase
Learn what to expect in the postpartum phase, physically and emotionally. Learn how to support your healing, resting and bonding as a new family.
Kind Words …
Ready to take a birth class?
Let’s start by aligning. Are you:
✓ 1st time parents or...
✓ 2nd timers looking for a refresher?
✓ Scared or anxious about birth?
✓ Desiring a low intervention, VBAC, birth center or home birth?
✓ Seeking an overall transformative, meaningful birth experience?
If you said "yes" at least once and you're in between 27-32 weeks pregnant, you're likely a great fit!
If you are:
✗ Looking for a class that teaches a very specific birth method
✗ Unwilling to dedicate time towards practicing pain coping & self-reflection
✗ Not interested in the transformative aspects of the birthing year
…then these classes may not be the right fit.

2 | Next, schedule your free call.
Take 30 minutes to explore the desires for your birth, class details and more on an alignment call. This call also ensures that we’re a good match. There is absolutely no obligation to register after this call.
3 | Then register for your class.
The last step is completing the registration form and submitting payment. You’re officially registered!
About a week before your class date, you’ll get a welcome email with class information. Feel free to communicate with me before class starts if you have any questions or concerns.
Common Questions:
I’m really interested in your classes but I have questions before I register.
Let’s set up a free consultation where I'll answer your questions about my classes, services and figure out how I can guide you in the best direction along your birth journey. I don’t pressure you to join my classes, especially if it isn’t the right fit for you. Even after you’ve booked your class, I make these consults available to all my clients.
The class fees are a barrier for me. Can I still take a class?
Yes! I believe that every family should have the resources to not just survive birth but to experience the rich, transformative act of birth, and thrive as a result of it, regardless of their ability to pay. Please reach out directly if my class fees are a barrier to you.
Can more than 2 people attend class?
No. The registration fees cover class attendance for 1 birth parent and 1 support partner only.
What forms of payment do you accept?
CashApp, PayPal, Venmo and Zelle (preferred).
Your group class dates don’t work with my schedule. How can I move forward?
It sounds like private classes would be a great fit in this situation. The difference in group and private class fees offers you more flexibility around class dates and time. It also offers you a one-on-one experience that speaks directly to you and your pregnancy journey.
