Mindful Birth Prep Class

It is often said that birth is 90% mental.

If that’s the case, shouldn’t our birth preparations have much more focus in this area as well?

If you want to feel more at ease in your pregnancy and appreciate a more holistic lens on birth and labor, this is the class for you. There’s a common thread throughout the class of mindfulness. We will tiptoe into some of the “woo” and mystical aspects of birth, as well as the idea of birth as a rite of passage. There’s a healthy balance with the mystical aspects - we will also go deep into the physiology of birth, and how it’s all tied together.

FAQs

How long is the class, and when do you offer it?

This class is about 4 hours long, and I offer it on Saturday mornings. If Saturday mornings are unavailable for you and/or your support person, let me know! I can be flexible with this.

Do you bring snacks?

Ok, this isn’t really a frequently asked question, but I think it’s worth noting… yes, yes I do :)

When is the best time in pregnancy to take this class?

The earlier the better, as a big takeaway from the class is practicing mindfulness in pregnancy to better prepare for labor, birth, postpartum…life! However, it is never too late. This content is relevant at 12 weeks pregnant and still at 37 weeks pregnant.

Should my partner be there as well?

Definitely. We will go into partner support - including comfort measures, and ways that they can effectively advocate for your wishes.

What if I’ve never meditated, or have no experience with mindfulness?

That is A-okay! As we will discuss, meditating is not everyone’s gateway to mindfulness. It could be journaling…mindful movement like yoga…or simply spending time outdoors.
