Prepare your mind and body for the athletic event called labor
Manage early labor at home
Relax and work with your labor and not against it
Use positioning to facilitate your labor's progress
Help ensure a positive birth experience

An alternative to attending an in-person class is to watch the previously taped classes online at your own pace. We are always available for questions, clarification, and resources. If a physical class fills up and there are at least 3 more registrations, we will form an online class (one hour each week) with a Zoom format to answer questions “live”! SO….if a class is showing as full when you try to register, please email or call us!
