Create Your Best Birth and Postpartum Experience

Prepare in Mind, Body, and Spirit

Every family situation is unique and every birthing mother comes to the experience of childbirth in her own way with her own set of beliefs and goals.  My mission in childbirth  preparation is to support families in informed decision making so they  can have the best birth experience as defined by them.  This is not a  "one size fits all" class!  Each class is individualized to the unique  needs of each birthing family.

Whether you desire a natural birth, want to use an epidural, or are choosing to birth by scheduled cesarean, these classes are designed to enhance the well-being of expectant families through education and support of individualized decision making. Emphasis on Father or Partner involvement is built into every class.  A confident, well prepared partner makes all the difference!
