Birthing From Within
Whether you are birthing at home, in birthing center or hospital, and whether you are planning a natural birth, medicated birth, or a cesarean birth, BIRTHING FROM WITHIN® prepares you to birth-in-awareness.
Classes include not only practical, medical information about birth, but also a deeper understanding of a woman’s innate capability to birth her baby. Parents learn to go within for the strength, know-how and skills they will use in labor, birth and parenting.
The BIRTHING FROM WITHIN® approach differs from other childbirth methods by taking you beyond learning *about* the physical aspect of birth into an exploration of the emotional and spiritual realms of being *in* birth. This personal, inner learning is facilitated through thought-provoking dialogues, creative processes, experiential exercises, and more.
BIRTHING FROM WITHIN® classes not only practical but also soulful and fun. Discover what *you* need to know to give birth and become a parent.
Topics covered in class include:
* Experiencing birth as a rite of passage
* How to lose it in labor
* Learning pain-coping techniques that work
* Asking questions and making decisions in labor
* How to build confidence in yourself and your partner
* The compassionate use of medications
* Pushing your baby out
* Giving birth from within during a cesarean birth
* Welcoming and caring for your baby
* Recovering and honoring yourself during postpartum
* The art of breastfeeding and nourishing your baby
BIRTHING FROM WITHIN® classes are about self-discovery. They honor the spirituality of birth and remind you that the journey through*Laborland*and Birth is a profound rite of passage. Classes are offered in 6-week series (Tuesdays or Wednesday evenings), 2-day weekend immersion, or privately. See Workshops/Special Events tab for upcoming sessions.
