Do you need a space to reflect on what the right place of birth is for you?

This class is a place to reflect and explore the option of out-of-hospital birth. The class is geared towards people who are interested in natural birth and avoiding unnecessary interventions. I welcome all pregnant people to sign up, either on your own or with your partner(s) or support team members. People who are not yet pregnant but are trying to conceive or planning for the future are also welcome. If you’ve already given birth but are considering different options for next pregnancy, this class is a great place to learn more.

Next group class will be offered April 2024. One-on-one classes are also available for pregnant individuals/families and can be scheduled any time.

Many people's vision for their birth evolves as their pregnancy progresses. If you were planning to give birth in the hospital but now are unsure if that's the right choice, this class is for you. Or if you are planning a home birth or birth center birth but have reservations, this class is for you too.

Birth is not one size fits all! This class is a place for deep contemplation and reflection on your values, coupled with lots of information and research.

We will discuss some basic risks and benefits of birth at home or in a birth center compared to hospital birth. We'll delve into some lesser-known factors to consider in planning place of birth. Participants will have the chance to clarify their values around their place of birth and reflect on how to make sure their place of birth is the right choice for them. The class includes a balance of reflection, decision-making tools, and information and resources.
