Childbirth Classes
Our childbirth classes are designed to equip families with confidence, knowledge, and practical tools for a calm, supported birth.
Homebirth Express Childbirth Class
This 90-minute intensive class is designed for families planning a homebirth or birth center birth and serves as a great refresher for those new to out-of-hospital birth. The curriculum was created using direct input from local homebirth midwives, focusing on what they believe families truly need to know.
We cover the stages of labor, effective comfort techniques, baby positioning, and practical tips to help you prepare for a smooth homebirth or birth center experience.

Hypnobabies Childbirth Classes
​
​Hypno... BABIES??? Yes! These are babies whose parents choose to easily and naturally prepare for childbirth using the Hypnobabies Hypnobirthing method of birth. Hypnobabies however, is very different in that we teach real medical hypnosis techniques, creating an automatically peaceful, relaxing and more comfortable pregnancy, a calm confident Birth Partner, and an easier, more comfortable and sometimes pain-free birthing for our Hypnobirthing moms.
Hypnobabies is a very successful 6 week complete childbirth education course and birthing moms enjoy “eyes-open childbirth hypnosis”, easily remaining deeply in hypnosis while walking, talking and changing positions; being as mobile as they would like to be during childbirth. Hypnobabies is well-known for helping women to create much shorter, easier and more comfortable labors, making childbirth the joyful experience it was meant to be.
​
Expectant mothers use our Hypnobabies Workbook, MP3s and hypnosis scripts to train their inner mind that contractions in labor will be felt only as pressure, tightening, pushing, pulling and normal baby movement sensations. Women are fully in tune with their babies during the birthing process, and as aware of everything around them as they’d like to be, easily able to communicate with their support team, and completely in charge of their own birth experience.
Hypnobabies uses the same medical hypnosis techniques that people employ when preparing for surgery without any drugs, which is called hypno-anesthesia. Our classes also teach Hypnobabies Birth Partners how to fully support the Hypno-Moms, and Hypnobabies is also used very successfully by single mothers. A willing Birth Partner is a bonus!
