Embracing Birth
|
Because your birth class should be this much fun, right?
Having a hospital birth? Great, this class is perfect for you! Planning a home birth? Super, we got you covered! Want an epidural? Awesome, let us give you some tips and positions! Going unmedicated? Excellent, we have inspiration and strategies for you! Classes are taught by Chelsea Bryan and/or Cara Sether. Katie DaMota, IBCLC, teaches the newborn care and breastfeeding class. "Embracing Birth with Chelsea was the best thing my husband and I could have done to prepare for our son. It gave us time together to focus on the upcoming birth, tools to connect with each other and great information that was daily digestible and usable. We enjoyed meeting pregnant people in our community and felt totally support and heard by Chelsea. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt supported!" - Emily and Sean "This class knocked our socks off. I didn't imagine a birth class could be so informative and fun at the same time. My husband was totally engaged and picked up a lot of things that helped us get through our 24 hour labor and birth. He massaged me, "moose called" me and cut the cord when our daughter was born. A million thanks, Chelsea!" - Sarah and Tucker |
