  • to increase their confidence in the choices they face during pregnancy, labor and with their new baby

bookBirthing a Family Natural Childbirth classes incorporate many multi-sensory experiences from journaling to Birth Art to encourage parents to find answers to their questions about birth. The course also uses Birthing From Within: An Extra-Ordinary Guide to Childbirth Preparation by Pam England and Rob Horowitz as a reference and guide.
