Our online birth classes have all of the components of a traditional class for hospital birth, with a strong added focus on movement, breath and mindfulness - yep, we can teach all of that online! Our online classes still include group work, small group conversations in breakout rooms, and plenty of community building - all from the comfort and safety of your home.
All participants of our online birth classes can attend an optional free tour of UVMMC Labor & Delivery and the Postpartum Units. Please note, registration for your tour is separate from birth class registration. Please register early - we do our best to accommodate everyone, but space is not guaranteed. Use code BIRTHCLASS when registering for your tour. See dates and register here.
We believe that understanding how to connect to our body, breath and mind in labor, as well as understanding the birth process and potential medical interventions, sets laboring couples up with the tools needed to make informed decisions when necessary and to open to the mystery of birth with confidence.
Our weeknight childbirth education series takes place over two consecutive days on zoom.
Our birth classes include:
- The “how” and “why” of using movement in labor
- Lining baby up for a straightforward birth
- Anatomy and physiology of birth
- Stages and phases of labor, including the power of pushing
- Connection to breath in all stages of labor
- Massage and relaxation techniques to reduce fear and invite release
- Support person’s role throughout labor and birth
- Birth options including unmedicated, medicated, and cesarean birth
- Common interventions and how to navigate them with knowledge
- Postpartum care
Please note, no refunds/transfers will be given if requested 3 weeks or less from the start date of the class, due to the difficulty of filling the spot at the last minute.
