Testimonials

Dear Tamara,

How do I begin to thank you for what you did for me on my first day back at work? Your patience and support was immeasurable. Thank you for being so kind and thoughtful while I was hysterical crying. Your dedication to your profession is astounding. I am completely grateful to you for guiding me thoroughly a very difficult process. You actually taught me a lot. Thank you again for everything!

Love, Kate Aurre

Our classes go beyond what typical childbirth classes offer. No long lectures here! You will learn lots of practical information through thought-provoking dialogues and memorable exercises. Expectant couples master a variety of mind-focusing practices which include breathing exercises, practice of labor comfort measures, training as a labor support partner, and exploring the compassionate use of epidurals.

In our one day class format, you will receive a pin to access labor preparation videos online to watch at your own pace. During class, we will discuss relevant topics to help you build confidence and to give you and your partner time to practice skills to help you cope with the pain of childbirth.

Our class cover:

Normal labor, birth, and the early postpartum period
Positioning to facilitate the normal progress of labor and birth
Massage techniques to ease the pain of labor
Coping skills to use during labor and after pregnancy to relieve stress and suffering
Labor support skills for the birth partner
Communication skills for the pregnant woman with her partner and with members of the health care team
Guidance to make informed decisions about the use of an epidural
What to do should a cesarean birth become necessary
