Birthing From Within® birthing education classes feature lively group discussions, role-plays, creative exercises and hands-on practice. Each prenatal class presents an opportunity to build the mindset of resilience and mindful presence, practices that can be used though life, long after childbirth years.
We will be exploring labor and birth from birthing mother’s, partner’s and baby’s perspective.
Similar to the other childbirth models, Birthing From Within holds that birth is neither a pathology nor a medical event. However, we go a step further by honoring that all birth is a profound Rite of Passage whether it is a natural birth, a birth with epidural and medicine or even a cesarean birth.
Birthing From Within does not hold out any one birth outcome as a symbol of “success”, it is about a journey, inquiry, preparation, doing the next best thing at any given moment and learning to build win-win relationships with the supporting birthing attendants.
