Feel more confident and prepared for your upcoming delivery as you gain a deeper understanding of the childbirth experience.

Class Details: This class lasts approximately 4.5 hours. If you are planning for an unmedicated birth then I recommend taking my Birthing Basics PLUS course for extended learning and practice in breathing, relaxation, and movement.
