This in-person natural birth class is designed for couples who want to feel prepared—not overwhelmed. It will be highly interactive—partners won't just be sitting and listening; they’ll be on the floor practicing labor and pushing positions right along with the mamas. It will be taught by a birth doula and a pelvic floor therapist who are both moms that have been in your position.
We will be diving deep into:
The Fear-Pain-Tension Cycle: How to recognize it and the specific techniques to break it.
Pain Management: Hands-on techniques for labor.
Stages of Labor: Knowing exactly when it’s time to head to the hospital.
Breathing: Targeted techniques for every stage of the process.
Pelvic Floor Protection: A special segment taught by Dr. Riana Taktikos, Pelvic Floor Therapist.
Navigating the Hospital: Understanding interventions, informed consent, and how to advocate for the birth you want.
The class will include a workbook, snacks and a giveaway. Early bird pricing ends Jan 31st and the class will be limited to 7 couples.
