Why is this class important?
How we hear the story of birth matters. Many of us have unlearning to do as we move towards the re-centering of our relationship to breath, nonverbal communication, & initiation. Birth, like all deeply uncomfortable moments, can be a tool for transformation and learning. Birth teaches us about our relationship to ourselves, partners, family, sexual expression, authority, health/illness, death and rebirth, and thus lays the way for parenting, protecting, & community building. Birth is worth looking at from micro to macro perspectives, from hormones to who we become in the face of great challenges.
Plus, we laugh a lot, and that is important for birth, too.
When should I take a Holistic Childbirth Prep Class?
Class is best taken anywhere between 17 weeks and 38 weeks, but... The techniques you and your partner learn for breath work, the hormonal blueprint of labor, and guided relaxation will become stronger tools for birth the more you practice them. Sharing a common language for birth with your partner will enhance your pregnancy experience, validate your intuition, and inform your birthing choices. The earlier you have this under your belt, the better!
Classes are kept extra small for pandemic safety and individual attention from the instructor, and tend to sell out, so early signup is helpful.
