There is no one right way to labor. We stand by the philosophy that birth is a normal process and hope to inspire confidence in everyone we teach by sharing what possible things to expect, helping you develop the skills to move through your labor and leave you feeling prepared to work through whatever your journey turns out to be. It is our goal to educate you about the full spectrum of options for birth, and then to support you unconditionally.
Taught by experts who have assisted 20,000+ expectant parents through a wide range of birth choices and experiences.
*This class will not practice the pain-coping techniques you will learn about - If you prefer more time to practice and go deeper into each topic, we recommend our Childbirth Education Intensive, four 2- hour sessions.
