VBAC Options

If you desire a vaginal birth after a Cesarean (VBAC), you will need to carefully prepare before and during pregnancy. In this workshop, we will explore the events of, and your feelings surrounding your previous birth experience(s), and start preparing for your next pregnancy, labor, and birth. Women who desire a VBAC need to be the best advocates of their own prenatal health and birth desires. This class will provide you with valuable information, and pertinent local resources, to help you confidently navigate the VBAC process. This class is ideally taken pre-conception or during the first trimester, as applying this knowledge, as early as possible, is key to a successful VBAC. 2-2.5 hrs, $75

Mindfulness + Relaxation

Training your heart and mind for natural birth is just as important as preparing your body. Regularly engaging in a prenatal mindfulness practice can help reduce fear and anxiety, facilitate an easier and more satisfying birth experience, and may help reduce the risk of developing a perinatal mood disorder. This workshop covers various relaxation exercises, and showcases a few different mindfulness techniques, including visualization exercises, touch relaxation and progressive relaxation. Families also receive a relaxation and visualization exercise book and additional resources to continue their practice at home.. 2.5 hrs of bliss! $75
