My childbirth education classes are designed to help expecting parents feel informed, confident, and supported as they prepare for birth and early postpartum. Using an evidence-based and holistic approach, classes cover topics such as the stages of labor, comfort measures, pain management options, partner support, birth planning, postpartum recovery, newborn care, and advocacy within the healthcare system. My goal is to create a welcoming space where families can ask questions, build confidence in their intuition, and feel empowered to make decisions that align with their values and vision for birth.
