Our Approach is rooted in the principles of Birthing From Within®
- Childbirth is a profound rite of passage.
- Parents’ individual needs and differences determine class content.
- The purpose of childbirth preparation is to prepare birthing people to give birth in awareness, not to achieve a specific outcome.
- Pregnancy and birth outcome are influenced by a variety of factors, but can’t be controlled by planning.
- Parents deserve support for any birth option which might be right for them.
- Pain is sometimes a part of childbirth but much can be done to alleviate suffering.
- Pain-coping practices work best when integrated into daily life, rather than “dusted off” for labor.
- Partners help best as “birth guardians” or loving partners, not coaches. They also need support.
- Childbirth preparation is also parent preparation.
Together, we build a resourceful + resilient mindset, hone useful skills + tools, and practice in class.
