Childbirth Education Class (9-Weeks)

Take childbirth classes that support you to meet pregnancy, labor, and parenting with ease. Create supportive patterns for the generations to come.

Why It Matters

Joining these live online birthing classes you'll learn to notice, pause, and choose your response. Based on Nancy Bardacke's Book Mindful Birthing, helps parents grow skills that travel from the contraction of labor to all aspects of life. This is how change begins—inside a single breath, and then a family.
