I completed my certification as a Birthing From Within Childbirth Education Mentor and have completely updated my website to include this new class offering. To celebrate this occasion I am offering a 10% discount on any birth classes that are booked through the end of July! (Even if you book the November class, you still get the discount!)

The reason why I became a Birthing From Within Mentor is because I loved taking the class myself when I was pregnant with my second baby. My favorite things about the class are:
The class is not outcome based, it doesn’t matter if you “go natural”, use an epidural or have a cesarean birth. The tools that you learn in the class are helpful no matter how you birth your baby.
The use of inclusive language. In the class I will use words like “birthing person” instead of mama or mom and “partner” instead of husband, because I honor the fact that not all people who give birth identify as a woman and not all people who give birth are married or in a heterosexual relationship.
The tools to cope with pain. A huge lightbulb moment for me with this class was realizing the difference between pain and suffering. Pain is neutral. It is simply feedback communicating something important to you. Suffering is when the mind tells itself a story about the pain. In Birthing From Within, we use mindfulness tools, breath awareness and education about movement to help people cope with pain and minimize suffering.
