What is BirthPrep! for Parents?

Busy Schedule? Want a fantastic way to prep for birth from home now?

Our online BirthPrep is the perfect solution if you have limited time or want a virtual option (so you can be more relaxed during Covid) — it is offered monthly, over two half-days on Zoom. Both first-time parents and those having another child are welcome!

What is BirthWorks Childbirth Education like?

From the comfort of your own home, you will get emotional and academic preparation for birth, that is both holistic and evidence-based. Birth is an emotional event. Therefore, birth preparation needs to be experiential so that birthing parents walk away with an experience. This human-values approach increases confidence and decreases fear in birth.

Do you want to...

  • be prepared to birth but feel pressured to find the time to attend hours of classes?
  • experience the highlights of BirthWorks unique, innovative and experiential approach towards birth?
  • understand evidence-based ways to labor that can minimize interventions?
  • learn how our unique approach increases confidence and decreases fear in birth?
  • learn Four Principles of Optimal Pelvic Positioning to shorten and ease labor and birth?
  • experience a balanced, non-judgmental approach to childbirth preparation?
  • understand the BirthWorks Experience – where every woman finds her own best way to birth?

Talking about obstetrical drugs, medical procedures, and birth plans is straightforward. The challenge is to help women develop more trust and faith in their bodies.

This is the best childbirth preparation for you!

This open-hearted course led by experienced BirthWorks facilitators uplifts you and connects you to community! Right away, you learn BirthWorks is special — as you find trust and gain faith that your body and mind already know how to give birth. Through interactive discussions, short films, and small group experiential exercises, you find a safe place of laughter, joy and learning!

 

Ideally you attend during first trimester ~ so sign-up as early as possible. You can register for one person or a couple – all moms (in any birthing situation) and all birth partners (fathers, wives, mothers, friends, aunts, etc) are welcome. BirthPrep! is offered online most months, usually over two half-days.
