Becoming a parent has the power to transform every aspect of your life.
Childbirth Education
This four-week course is designed to inspire and prepare you for an empowered and conscious birth experience. Together, we will explore the physiology of birth and understand the body’s perfect design and hormonal processes so that you can build trust with your body as you prepare for childbirth. Throughout the course, we will dive deep into the powerful and transformative aspects of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period, bridging the gap between the physical, emotional, and spiritual elements of the childbirth continuum.
Using an Ayurvedic lens, we will explore the importance of self-care, nutrition, recovery, and the power of vocalization and touch during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. You will learn practical newborn care from breastfeeding techniques to conscious connection and soothing, and strengthen your relationship to your innate maternal wisdom and intuition. After completing this course, you will have the knowledge and confidence to transform your home into a sanctuary of healing and recovery as a new mother.
