Amanda offers Birthing From Within® Childbirth Classes

AND… Spinning Babies® Parent Education Classes! Learn how to have a more comfortable pregnancy & an easier birth. 

~ Labor, Birth, & Postpartum Classes ~

Welcome to Birthing From Within childbirth education. Your class will go beyond basic, practical information about pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum return. 

This is a 2 day class where we will take the journey of YOU as the expert in preparing for birth and early parenthood, honoring this season of your life and these rites of passage.  

Online and in person Labor & Birth Classes

This class focuses on building a strong foundation in your preparation for labor and childbirth.

Building on what you already know, and growing the knowledge and wisdom that is needed to give birth to your baby and yourselves as parents today.

(We will have a small amount of time to cover a few highlights for postpartum time and lactation. If you need more information/eduction in these two areas please look into taking a separate class to further your preparation.)

Who these classes is for:

• First time pregnant people and partners.

• You want to know how to cope with pain and discomfort of labor and birth.

• You want your partner to know how to support you during birth.

• If you had a difficult or traumatic labor & birth experience in the past.

• If you are looking to deepen your self-awareness for THIS pregnancy through postpartum time. Each pregnancy & birth journey is unique. Let us honor them as so.

• If you are looking to strengthen your mental, physical, emotional & spiritual preparedness for your birth & early parenthood journey.

What to expect:

Childbirth preparation happens at every level from mental, emotional and physical to spiritual. The beauty of taking a Birthing From Within class with Amanda as your mentor is her ability to serve the individual and group in unique ways. Pulling from a wide body of knowledge and information she can create a one of a kind class and experience to fit each person/group. 

Of course, there are specific aspects you can count on learning. These are some of the fundamentals that create a strong foundation for you to build on.

Including:

Labor & Birth Class - In Person, on Zoom, or Hybrid:

~ coping/pain coping + comfort techniques

Spinning Babies® Parent Education Class

Pain and discomfort in pregnancy? You can have a more comfortable, less painful experience. In the Spinning Babies® Parent Class you will learn daily activities and The Three Sisters of Balance(sm) to promote the Three Principles of Spinning Babies® - Balance, Gravity & Movement.

Want to have an easier labor? You will learn why “Physiology Before Force” is a core principle in Spinning Babies®. Dialation is only part of the picture when it comes to the MotherBaby dyad working together to help baby birth. Baby needs to rotate to enter and move through the pelvis. You will learn why this is important and how it can benefit you during labor. Learning about the different levels of the pelvis, understanding where baby is in the pelvis and key movements you can do in labor, can help create an opportunity for an easier journey for MotherBaby to birth.

When should you take this class? The ideal time is about 20 weeks up to about 36 weeks of pregnancy. Why? You want to have a bump, so you can really benefit from the movements and activities. What you will learn, you will want to implement and practice, giving yourself the opportunity to really benefit!

We will spend about 3 hours together, really, that’s all! There will be, discussion, hands on, and plenty of time to practice with your partner, so you both feel very comfortable taking these activities home. You will also get access to everything we go over in class, don’t worry about remembering it all or taking notes. It will all be at your fingertips through your class portal!

The Spinning Babies®Parent Class is a fantastic addition to your other childbirth preparation. I do recommend taking a Childbirth Class, mine or whomever’s you feel drawn to. And taking the Parent Class as a deeper dive into your pregnancy and birth preparation. If you choose to bundle my Labor & Birth Class with my Spinning Babies®Parent Class you will receive a discount on the class. *This class is NOT about turning baby in a medicalized way, ECV, for example.
