Recommended to complete class by 36-38 weeks of pregnancy.
This is a comprehensive birth preparation series for anyone who is looking to incorporate mindfulness-based practices into their birthing experience, whether looking forward to an epidural or an unmedicated birth. You will learn practices to increase confidence and release fear and anxiety. Students will learn the physiology and process of birth and ways to use the mind to work with pain during labor.
The course uses the book, Mindful Birthing: Training the Mind, Body, and Heart for Childbirth and Beyond, by Nancy Bardacke, and students are required to purchase the book separately. Here's a link to it on Amazon.com.
Class is for the pregnant person and a partner/support person. We welcome all expectant families, regardless of birthing location.
