Collingwood Prenatal Classes

 

Birthing From Within is the unique style of prenatal preparation that I use to support parents on their journey. I strive to cultivate, in myself and in parents, an attitude of mindfulness, birthing- and living-in- awareness and simply doing the best we can in any given moment.


By engaging in different activities and deep discussions, you will develop a understanding of what coping in labour looks like for you, recognizing that their is no “right” or “wrong” way to labour. Together we will explore how to navigate the delicate balance of birthing in a modern world while tapping into the innate knowing that lives within you.

 

Each class is unique but may include:

 

  • Physical and emotional stages of labour
  • Pain-coping and labour support practices that draw on body awareness and intuition  
  • Common medical interventions and how you can continue to birth in awareness when these are a part of your birth
  • Coping with birth fears   
  • Partners experience and how your partner can learn to support you, and themselves, through your experience
  • Compassionate use of epidurals
  • Comfort positions for labour and optimal fetal positioning
  • Making birth art!!

 

Birthing From Within group and prenatal classes will be offered in the Collingwood area beginning Spring 2012!!  Please check back for more information on dates and location.
