Preparing for Birth: Journey through Pregnancy and Childbirth - 4 Weeks

Childbirth is a magical and memorable journey; one that often unfolds in a unique and surprising way.  By deciding to educate yourself on pregnancy and childbirth, you can prepare your mind, body and soul for this transformative journey and unlock the freedom to make informed decisions about this most important part of your life.  Preparing for birth involves more than data and techniques–we seek to educate future parents holistically.  Our classes will empower you and your partner with a comprehensive education in the physiology of childbirth, the options and support that are available to you, comfort measures, and preparing for the early postpartum period with your baby.

Our class will give you the peace of mind to face childbirth courageously, with an open heart and a prepared mind.  Lana has been present for over 20 births in her role as a birth doula.  Her course blends the techniques she has acquired as a birth worker, lactation counsellor and mother of three.

Not satisfied with your previous birth experience? Classes aren’t just for first time parents.  Childbirth classes are an investment in your child's first birthday!
