Description

This course is designed for women who are planning to have or are interested in learning about a natural childbirth in today's culture of medicalized birth.

Having a child by natural childbirth is one of the most exciting and memorable experiences of any woman’s life. But if you’re expecting a child (particularly if this is your first time), it can also be pretty overwhelming!

Your mind is undoubtedly filled with fear, uncertainty, and confusion. You want the best, most positive birth experience possible for you and your new baby… but you just don’t know where to turn to get support and answers to your questions!

This class is designed to educate you on what is normal during labor and delivery to allow you and your partner to make informed decisions around your birth. Focused specifically on for the mom who desires a low to no intervention birth, this class uses actual case studies, demonstrations, lectures and PDF handouts to prepare you to confidently step forward into labor, delivery and parenthood.

While this class will benefit most pregnant woman, it is not designed to replace the role of your medical provider and should not be construed as medical advice.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is intended for expectant parents who want to be more informed about healthy nutrition and exercise during pregnancy, normal labor and delivery, and common medical interventions. Geared especially for couples looking for a natural birth experience, this course highlights natural pain management techniques. This course is probably not for you if you are planning a c-section birth.

Rebecca is a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and a childbirth educator trained in a popular natural childbirth technique. When she was pregnant, she was frustrated by the lack of information on anything other than a medicated birth or planned cesarean section, despite working in a hospital. There seemed to be a huge gap between the medical information and the generic pregnancy information found in popular books and websites. She endeavored to learn as much as she could through classes and reading and successfully had a natural birth (water birth). Since then, she has passionately dedicated much of her free time to helping other women/couples realize their birth goals. She teaches an in person class, as well as, mentors clients online. Her background as a physical therapist, combined with her own experience, gives her a unique advantage in understanding how the body works, from a holistic perspective.
