Childbirth Education & Workshops
Prepared Childbirth Series
Our Prepared Childbirth class presents extensive information on all aspects of pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum care. We believe in giving parents the most accurate scientific information and letting them make the best decision for themselves and their family. Every family is different and it is our goal to give you the information you need and the tools necessary to make the best decision for you and to help you accomplish your goals. Whether you are planning an un-medicated birth, a medicated birth or are not sure what you want, this class will be beneficial to you. It will be easier to accomplish your goals in childbirth with knowledge providing the foundation for your decisions.
Natural Childbirth Education Series
Julie Olson's Natural Childbirth Course is a full scope class for couples . The foundation of the course rests in partner-supported childbirth and informed decision-making while emphasizing the natural process of giving birth. The 11 week series covers a variety of topics, including birth preparation, nutrition and exercise in pregnancy, handling unexpected situations, breastfeeding, and the post-partum experience. This comprehensive course is flexible and tailored to the needs of the particular couples in the class. Mothers and their partners learn how to work together to create a harmonious team. Students learn positive communications, skills for making informed decisions, methods to minimize discomfort, and relaxation techniques. Partners learn to identify and respond to the mother’s needs, tools to help maintain a relaxing environment and they are empowered to respond to any variation in labor. Julie's course incorporates the latest research, modern videos and a sense of humor in her classes, to make the experience fun and memorable.
Birthing From Within Childbirth Education Series
What do YOU need to know to give birth?
Birthing from Within® childbirth preparation classes are designed to: Prepare parents for birth as a sacred rite of passage, and to create holistic prenatal preparation that is informative, transformative and builds a foundation for birthing-in-awareness.
Hypnobabies with Mandy Jeffries
Hypnobabies is a very successful 6 week complete childbirth education course using Gerald Kein’s Painless Childbirth techniques instead of simple relaxation, breathing or guided imagery. This allows our Hypno-Moms to enjoy “Eyes Open Childbirth Hypnosis”, easily remaining deeply in hypnosis while walking, talking changing positions; being as mobile as they would like to be during childbirth. Many of our moms experience much shorter, easier and more comfortable labors, making childbirth the joyful experience it was meant to be. You’ll use your Hypnobabies Workbook, CDs and hypnosis scripts to train your inner mind that contractions in labor will be felt only as pressure, tightening, pushing, pulling and normal baby movement sensations. You’ll be fully in tune with your baby during the birthing process, and as aware as you’d like to be, easily able to communicate and be in charge of your own birth experience. Hypnobabies uses the same kind of hypnosis techniques that people employ when preparing for surgery without any medication, which is called hypno-anesthesia. Our classes also teach our Hypnobabies Birth Partners how to fully support our Hypno-Moms, although Hypnobabies can also be used very successfully by single mothers Including a very comprehensive childbirth education curriculum also ensures that our Hypno-moms remain deeply committed to their Hypnobabies training, since they need not go anywhere else for childbirth education. Other natural childbirth classes are wonderful but many teach “pain-coping” and “pain-management”, which is directly in opposition to Hypnobabies” “pain-elimination” techniques. Although not every woman will have a completely pain-free unmedicated birthing experience, many of our Hypno-Moms do and you can too!
Childbirth Refresher Course with Julie Olson
This course is suggested for parents who have taken a childbirth course in the past and are looking for a refresher to prepare for their next birth. The course emphasizes the role of the birth partner or coach, reviews the stages of labor, focuses on relaxation techniques and positions to cope with labor and briefly discusses postpartum topics related to parenting more than one child. Participants will be provided with a questionnaire that should complete before the first class. $60 per couple.
