Balanced Mama for a Better Birth Childbirth Class Series

This six-week class series will be held Thursday evenings 6:00-8:00pm  10/17-11/21/24 

The Balanced Mama approach to Childbirth Class prepares women Physically, Mentally, and Emotionally for birth and postpartum. One aspect I particularly like to focus on is the physical preparation. Preparing the body through simple strengthening and balancing exercises can make a HUGE difference in the length and difficulty of your labor! As a Spinning Babies Aware Practitioner, this is information and technique I am very familiar with, believe in, and LOVE to share!

But what about after the birth? This class also prepares you for what to expect on the physical, mental, and emotional level during your postpartum time and includes breastfeeding basics and a guide to many local resources for added support.
Here are some of the things you can expect to learn in my “Balanced Mama for a Better Birth” class:

*Unlearning Fear and Myths about Birth and trusting our body’s ability to birth
*Healthy pregnancy and birth preparation through nutrition, exercise, and body awareness
*The stages of labor and what to expect physically and emotionally from each
*Many different relaxation and comfort techniques for working with your body in labor
*Many ways for your partner to support you in these
*Hospital Intervention, options, and communicating your birth plans and wishes with your caregivers
*Creating your birth space and what to pack
*Planning for a smooth postpartum time
*Breastfeeding basics and contact information for local support.

This class is small, informal, friendly, and fun!
