Childbirth Education Services
I absolutely love teaching prenatal classes. I'm a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Instructor and have been teaching for over 14 years. My classes are fun, practical, and evidence-based.
Knowledge is power, and my goal is to empower, inspire and educate you regarding the twists and turns of the labour process. Birth is sometimes seen as a scary endeavour, and I offer a safe and respectful space for you to address your apprehensions and help you look forward to and get excited about your birth story. It's not just about telling you how birth works; it's about equipping you with a multitude of options and comfort measures that you can access in order to achieve the birth you desire.
Sometimes childbirth gets medical. It's difficult to make decisions for yourself if you don't know what your options and rights are as a consumer of care. My classes will cover common medical interventions so that you can have informed consent (or refusal) discussions with your care provider to determine what options are best for you and baby.
My goals for you when you take my classes are:

My goals for you when you take my classes are:
- to exit with an excited awareness of the innate wisdom your body has to birth
- to increase your confidence in your ability to meet the power and challenges of your birth experience
- to empower your birth partner so they can provide comforting physical and emotional support
- to expand your knowledge by offering evidence-based information so you can fully engage in productive discussions with any member of your birth team
- to gain confidence in caring for your newborn
