This is an online GROUP class for pregnant couples who are preparing to birth at home. Each session will cover a portion of the complete birth experience, starting with late pregnancy and ending with postpartum. This group is a great opportunity to learn about the physiology of the birth process, how to prepare and have a successful experience, what to expect from the normal variations of birth at home, coping tools and techniques, what transferring to the hospital can look like, pushing and birth, immediate transitions after birth, postpartum reality and healing, caring for a newborn, breastfeeding, sleep, and so much more! The content of this group class is rooted in the normalcy of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Classes are held on zoom and will be recorded. Classes form once three couples have registered within the same birthing time.

This package is great for first time parents, or first time home birthers who desire full immersion into what birth is and what it has to offer. We will explore birth through the understanding that it is a physiological/psycho-spiritual human experience, and not a medial issue. We will cover large and small themes including; birth as a rite of passage, how birth unfolds and "works", understanding the hormonal design of birth, variations in the process, coping with pain and surrendering, pushing and birthing the baby, placenta birth, and immediate transition for baby and mother. This package includes you talking a lot, me talking a lot, and numerous videos and slides to learn from. I will also include extra material for you to consume outside of sessions for your growth and learning.
Birth is big, but postpartum is forever. This package is really essential for any first time parents who wish to fully understand the biological requirements for thriving life. Or for parents wanting a different experience with their postpartum. Babies are not just little adults. They have a biological design that needs to be met so they can flourish on all levels. Mothers don't just bounce back without being tended to. While each family will and should make their own decisions about how to meet their baby's needs, I feel that families have a better opportunity to thrive if they understand the evolutionary needs unique to human babies, mothers, and families. We will dive into healing, sleep, feeding, comforting, and the natural and necessary relational changes within the family. We will also talk extensively about the importance of breastfeeding, how it really works, and how to get off to a good start.
