Refresher Classes
This class is designed for experienced parents who have taken childbirth preparation classes in the past and would like to take a refresher course.
It is an interactive class, where parents are encouraged to share the story of their prior birth(s), discuss the ways this birth may play out differently, and explore what they can do to aid labor progress and have a satisfying birth.
In this class, we will review the stages of labor and explore methods for labor support and comfort techniques, with time for hands-on practice.
Spinning Babies®
Spinning Babies® Parent Class highlights your baby’s active role to rotate down and out of the pelvis.
Learn techniques to help muscles in your pelvis support an easier birth. During labor, the baby turns through three levels of the pelvis. Together, you and your birth partner can use these techniques before and during labor to help “make room for baby!” Spinning Babies reveals how the baby can find optimal positions for labor and allows birth to be more comfortable.
This class is for expectant parents only. Professionals are invited in the Spinning Babies® Workshop.
