Parents and birth attendants can influence, but not control how a birth unfolds. Birthing From WithinŽ is a holistic approach that gives parents the tools to birth-in-awareness even when the journey takes unexpected turns.

Birthing From Within classes are unlike any other childbirth classes. Parents learn practical information through thought-provoking dialogues, interesting videos, and multi-sensory activities. Class by class, parents practice and master a variety of proven pain-coping exercises and build their pain-coping confidence. They also explore the wise and compassionate use of drugs and epidurals.

  • Create a birth space (wherever you are) that will help you open in labor
  • Build a pain-coping mindset through proven concentration and mindfulness practices
  • Explore the wise and compassionate use of drugs and epidurals
  • "Lose it" in labor
  • Special Class for Dads and Birth Companions
  • Push your baby out
  • Welcome your new baby
  • Feed and care for your newborn
  • Prepare for a gentle and mindful transition to parenthood
  • Reclaim the spirituality of birth
  • Includes a Postpartum class

These classes are complete childbirth preparation, covering the material and information covered in more traditional classes, including stages of labor/ birth, physiology of normal birth, what to expect, when to call your care-provider, and much more.
