Parents are encouraged to take Birth Works (®in superscript) early in pregnancy, or even prior to pregnancy, as this is an optimal time for identifying and exploring beliefs about birth, interviewing caregivers, and choosing a birthplace that feels safe. The classes are innovative, interactive and experiential.

These are just a few of the ways we uniquely prepare our clients for childbirth.
Class Topics:

• Understanding and working with the pain of labor
• Making informed choices regarding medical interventions
• Relaxation, pelvic awareness and bodywork
• Nutrition, exercise and postpartum wellness
• Labor companionship and comfort measures
• How our beliefs and attitudes affect our experience of birth
• Healing past emotional pain in preparation for birth
• Options for your birth and birth planning
• Breastfeeding and postpartum
