About the Course
The Embracing Birth & Beyond series is a evidence based, common sense childbirth class to educate and empower families for the joys and challenges of childbirth and early parenthood. Together, we will cover stages of labor, normal, physiologic birth, comfort measures, interventions, birth plans, and navigating unexpected changes to your plan.
Our approach is an all-encompassing model, not specific to one type of childbirth 'method'. We will offer a variety of perspectives to help you find what works best for your family. This class is designed for all families regardless of where you hope to give birth (homebirth, birth center and hospital births).
Lastly, Katie will go through planning for the fourth trimester, the first few months with your newborn, and how to co-parent. (or utilize a support village). This is our Beyond Birth course, included in your booking.
Katie will introduce breastfeeding but we recommend taking her full course: Nourishing Baby & Yourself.
All classes are live and virtual on Zoom. Recordings will be available the following day.
