In my Childbirth Education classes I provide you
with all of the necessary tools and knowledge you need
to have a satisfying and positive birth experience. I currently offer private, completely customizable classes.
I use evidence-based information from high quality,
reliable sources like The Cochrane Library to educate
my clients on their many choices. We will cover all of the basics of Childbirth Education including: nutrition, the
stages of labor, interventions, birth plan preparation,
basic newborn procedures and breastfeeding.
In addition to the basics, a large portion of every class
will focus on relaxation, position changes, comfort
measures and coping practices that really work for women. I have compiled these from a variety of methods including, Birthing From Within by Pam England, The 3 R’s of Childbirth by Penny Simkin, The Bradley Method of Husband Coached Childbirth, as well as my experience as a Birth Doula. The philosophy, concepts and ideas I incorporate come from recommendations from the World Health Organization that have been adopted by the modern Lamaze International into six care practices as well as Birthing From Within by Pam England.
I believe in a woman’s innate ability to birth her baby,
and I strive to instill and support this belief in you-my
client. My classes will provide you with everything you
need to have a BETTER BIRTH.
My private classes are held at your home and mine and are designed around the needs of each individual woman and her partner including learning style, current knowledge level, concerns and time availability. The beauty of private classes is the ability to customize and flexibility.

Placenta Encapsulation
The benefits of ingesting your placenta throughout the initial postpartum period by having it processed and put into capsule form has been known for many years. The placenta contains many beneficial hormones and nutrients specific to you that can help you avoid postpartum depression, restore energy, and aid in maintaining general health. It can be frozen for long periods of time, even until menopause when it can be very helpful with the hormonal shifts of that change. Check out this website and give me a call for more information on this service. 303-324-2027
