Holistic Childbirth Preparation
For parents birthing in hospital, home or birth center

Birthing From Within™ prenatal classes are unlike any other. Based on the popular book by Pam England, our unique approach is inspiring, engaging, and empowering. These classes are for expectant parents seeking useful information, practical tools, and a thoughtful exploration of birth, parenting and babies. We welcome parents birthing in hospital, home or birth center.

Each birth journey is unique. To prepare for the full spectrum of birth, we explore different paths of birthing, coping with the intensity and sensations of labor, and how to meet surprises and unknowns along the way. We provide resources to help you work towards the birth you envision, and offer guidance and tools to help you birth in awareness regardless of how or where you give birth.

Parents further expand their resources by learning a range of pain-coping practices and other helpful approaches, including birth positions, labor support ideas, and how to create a supportive birth environment. Through hands-on experience, mothers build confidence and a positive mindset for coping while birth partners gain new tools for their unique support role. Parents continue their learning and practice at home with our pain-coping practice CD. Fathers and birth partners benefit from additional support and resources in a special extra session just for them.
