Wholistic Childbirth Education Classes

Much of the time when I'm working with women and families to above all else, trust in birth; I feel like maybe we should be reading and learning less from books and teachers about birth. Everything we need to know already exists within us...in our body of knowledge that has birthed babies in our ancestry over and over. And, in fact, we cannot think our way through birth, so why do we rely only on thinking our way to it? Soon I realized that we have become so out of touch with our bodies that perhaps it would help to learn how to reach those parts of ourselves again.

Wholistic childbirth education classes will teach you more than just anatomy and physiology of birth, or about epidurals and interventions. Wholistic classes bring in the elements of the body and spirit. In these classes you will learn about accessing these parts of yourself and encourage trust in them in a wholistic and mindful way.

The most important topic in the class is the hormonal link between mind and body and between our emotions and how our body physiologically reacts to those emotions. This is incredibly important to the task of giving birth and will be the basis of this series. This topic alone grounds an understanding in the practical importance of trusting the body to birth, but also how it intersects with the model of care we choose, our care providers, and other support people.
