I have spent the almost all of my adult life reading, studying, and delving into all things birth. I am convinced that there is NO ONE WAY. All birth philosophy have a place and things to offer. Learning to cope (vs suffer) is my basis. Understanding enough about the process to not be afraid is a tenet of class. I take from all birth voices and roll them into an all encompassing class.
There is a time and a place for everything. Sometimes, an epidural is absolutely the thing that is called for. We will talk about all options (including medication). Taking a "less is more" approach when it comes to birth, things can sometimes get more complicated when medications become part of the picture, but not always. Each birth is unique.
Typically, classes are 4-8 couples
I have called NG home for the past 20 years. I love this town. After zooming for the past 3+ years while the world went on hold, I found myself at a crossroads. zoom is a great substitute but, In person birthing classes are where it's at. After a lot of searching and thinking, I decided to offer a birthing retreat. Come to the darling, little Swiss town of New Glarus, emerce yourself in all things birth, spent some time together shopping and/or lunching in New Glarus. Feel prepared, renewed, connected, ready!
You are welcome to attend the Childbirth Preparation class and I will talk with you before and during about things that might be different. Sometimes people feel more comfortable meeting one on one and a private class/consultation might be best for you.
Oh gosh, so so much!!
This is a time (a day) when you can put down all your other resposibilities and focus on the baby and this upcoming experience. If you're like most people, you are busy! You might find yourself thinking "oh my gosh, I'm almost due and I've done nothing to prepare". Take a class with me !
This is also a time when you can work together as a couple or a birth team, thinking about, talking about, practicing all the ways you'll work through your labor.
This is a time when you can ask questions from a real live human and get answers. This is a time when you can come together and learn from other expectant couples.
Time is spent during class focused on partners, their role, what they can do to help support you during and after the birth.

My overriding goal is to help, inform, encourage, inspire. This influences everything. My parenting philosophy is connect, connect, connect. It's challenging but so so valuable to you, your family and our world at large. Peace begins at birth. I believe that though empowerment, encouragement and that we can shape a new generation of love-centered, gentle people.
