Birth with Courage and Power is an alternative to large hospital classes. It is the class that listens to your voice and feels your heart.

This class is based on Pam England's book "Birthing from Within"

In this six week session, we will explore:

• not only how labor works, but how to trust your body and the labor process.

birth art.

• assumptions about pain in our culture.

• pain coping techniques.

• the "awesomeness" of what you are doing.

• each others' thoughts and feelings.

• accepting and coping with those unwanted surprises that sometimes happen during labor and birth.

• and so much more...

I am also developing a postpartum group, in cooperation with Hellen McDonald, LCSW. This group will be for women 18 and older who are planning a pregnancy, pregnant for the first time, or who have a baby under one year old.

For schedule, fees, a brochure, or more information,
