Couples who take this class report enhanced confidence in their ability to cope with whatever labor throws their way.
Jodi's breadth of knowledge on pregnancy, birthing, and postpartum, paired with her approachable demeanor, made for the perfect combination. I can't imagine approaching birth and postpartum without the knowledge I gained through Embracing Birth.

Come and learn practical, REAL ways to cope with labor, early postpartum and new parenthood! Spend the day with Jodi and other expectant families in this fun, informative, interactive, IN PERSON class.
Specific emphasis on ways to cope, strategies for a positive, empowering birth experience.
For almost 30 years, I’ve been an active teacher and learner in the world of birth. I’m convinced that birth is a normal process, and that expectant parents benefit most from a class that empowers them to ask the right questions of care providers throughout the process, whether they birth at home or the hospital, with a midwife or an obstetrician, and regardless of how the birth unfolds. Pain is almost always a part of birth, but there is a difference between pain and suffering, and my class features coping skills and techniques to avoid or reduce the latter. Birth Partners are vital supporters, comforters, and advocates, and this class will empower them too.
