Birthing from Within® classes are dynamic, interactive preparation for childbirth as well as parenthood. During a six-week series, pregnant women and their partners practice being in labor; they acquire pain-coping techniques and tap into the intuitive knowing they already have about giving birth and parenting. Both mother and partner are prepared as whole people (psyches and all)--through education and initiation.
Birthing-in-awareness is possible, no matter what kind of birth parents are planning.

Cost: $280 per couple per series. This includes art supplies, like clay & the pastels and the art paper we use. The Birthing from Within book and official Keepsake Journal, by Pam England, will also need to be purchased. They are available online or through me.

Classes are limited to 6 couples, and slots can be reserved with a $50 deposit, remainder being due on or before the first class.
Upcoming series: Sept. 7th through Oct. 12th, Sundays 4 to 6 p.m.
Nov. 2nd through Dec. 7th, Sundays 4 to 6 p.m.

Workshops, like all sessions, are guided by participants' needs. They consist mostly of birth art exercises that help with preparation for labor and birth or processing those experiences after the fact. Workshops are limited to twelve participants and are open to men and women. Art supplies are provided.
Cost: $25/individual, $40/couple
Upcoming workshops: August 10th, 4 to 6 p.m. & August 24th, 4 to 6 p.m.

Private sessions consisting of birth art only are also available; they are most useful for processing your birth experience postpartum, but they can also help expectant parents on their important journeys of self-exploration. Contact me directly to discuss this option.
Cost: $65 for 2-hour session.
