Childbirth Education
Did you know that 80% of mothers feel fear, anxiety, and doubt reguarding their ability to give birth? The unknown can be intimidating, and even scary. We know the old saying, "knowledge is power", and childbirth education has proven this saying to be true time and time again.
The more you understand the physiology of childbirth, the more confident you will be in your own body's ability to birth a baby. Childbirth education will help you feel empowered to make the right choices for your birth.
As a Childbirth Educator, my goal is to help you walk into childbirth feeling confident, empowered, in control, and safe. In the comfort of your own home, I will help you and your partner prepare physically and mentally for birth. My classes include: a basic understanding of physiological birth, coping techniques, labor positions, interventions, what to expect, how to make a birth plan, and how to prepare for a natural or medicated birth.
