Holistic Dive Into Childbirth Workshop

Come explore birth from a Holistic Perspective:

  • Learn about the physiology of birth

  • Prepare for and understand different birth scenarios

  • Navigate the emotional and spiritual sides of birth

  • Develop coping mechanisms like breathwork, rebozo, & supportive positions

  • Engage in guided meditation, including breath exercises, and sound bath

  • Gain knowledge about herbs for pregnancy and postpartum

  • Build community with other families

During this class, we will focus on empowering the birthing person and their partner to navigate this transformational period. Engaged partners will learn various ways to support the birthing person as they are fully present throughout the process.

This class is for people who will give birth at a birthing center or their home. This class will not include any hospital advocacy or procedures, but instead focus on information about an unmedicated birth.

 NOTE: In this class, we will discuss intimate matters and will practice together some coping techniques, like movement, breath work, hip squeezes, counter pressure, rebozo, etc.   Please come with an open mind and heart.
