Birthing From Within - for homebirth families
Parents and birth attendants can influence, but not control how a birth unfolds. Birthing From Within is a soulful and holistic approach that gives parents the tools to birth naturally and to birth-in-awareness when the journey takes unexpected turns.
BFW classes are unlike any other childbirth classes. Parents learn lots of practical information through thought-provoking dialogues, interesting videos, and memorable exercises. In this six-week series, parents practice and master a variety of proven pain-coping exercises and build their pain-coping confidence. Because this class is designed for homebirth couples, we will dive into the specifics of homebirth, how we all work as a team, including complications and if hospital transport becomes necessary.
In this 6-week series, learn How To:
• Create a birth space (wherever you are) that will help you open in labor
• Build a pain-coping mindset through proven concentration and mindfulness practices
• “Lose it” in labor
• Comfort measures for labor, including long labors and back labors
• Push your baby out
• Welcome your new baby
• Prepare for a gentle and mindful transition to parenthood
• Feed and care for your newborn
• Reclaim the spirituality of birth
