Birthing From Within® Classes

Overview:

This is Not Your Mother's Prenatal Class...

Birthing From Within®:

A New Generation of Gourmet Childbirth Preparation
Birthing From Within® philosophy and classes go beyond what typical childbirth classes’ offer. No long lectures here! Parents learn practical information through thought-provoking dialogues, interesting videos, and memorable exercises.These childbirth classes balance the dynamic needs of expectant parents. Not only is practical information provided but the honouring of birth and parenting as a rite of passage is also explored.

These classes illuminate birthing in awareness - even if your birth experience is not what you anticipate. By teaching about birth from four perspectives: mother, partner, baby and culture, we introduce parents to the power of birthing-in-awareness, and can help them prepare for possible unwished for events. Guiding parents through active, creative self-expression, to develop their own style of labour-coping strategies as well as insight into their personal expression of birth.
