Classes are designed to prepare you for labor and delivery so that you and your partner will feel confident, informed and relaxed during your birth experience. In each course, the topics covered will include stages and progression of labor, variations of labor, natural births and options for pain management, coping techniques, your birthing team, interventions and prevention, postpartum care, breastfeeding, and your postpartum plan. My goal is to create a supportive environment for you and your partner to gain knowledge and be better prepared during labor and childbirth. We will practice different comfort measures and relaxation techniques. I want you and your partner to leave feeling confident in your knowledge about what to expect during labor and birth.

"When a woman feels confident in her body, well supported and able to express herself without inhibition, the pain that she may feel in labor and birth can become easily bearable and just one part of the process." -Sarah J. Buckley, MD
