An Extra-Ordinary Childbirth Class
What do YOU need to know to give birth?
The essence of childbirth preparation is
self-discovery, not just assimilating medical information.
You need two kinds of knowing to birth from within. The first and most basic is the intuitive knowing in your bones. The second kind of knowing is modern knowing—being savvy about the birth culture and the wide range of birth choices.
BIRTHING FROM WITHIN classes offer you a soulful and holistic approach to birth preparation that integrates both kinds of knowing. Our classes prepare you to birth-in-awareness whether you are birthing at home, in a birth center, tipi, taxi or hospital.
Birthing from Within mentors believe that childbirth is a profound rite of passage, not a medical event (even when medical care is part of the birth). Parents learn practical information through discussion, videos, and activities; as well as empowering parents to birth in awareness through creative approaches for their childbirth education.

*************************************************************************
Part of spiritual and holistic childbirth preparation includes acknowledging that unexpected, unwelcome events may happen during labor (even if you are prepared and do everything "right").
By being willing to mobilize your coping resources and recognize your inner strengths, you can relax more fully in your body & mind before labor and birth in awareness.
