As expectant parents you want the best for your baby. Choosing a natural birth is your best insurance that you’ll give your baby the safest, happiest journey possible. Gentle, mother-centered, midwifery modeled care is my goal. At Bellabirthing you will find birthing classes that prepare you for the birth you want, in hospital or at home. I currently offer 8 week Sunday afternoon classes and private classes. Doula care offers moms and their partners the reassurance of having an experienced birth advocate guide them during their labor, birth and postpartum experience, and can be combined with classes or used alone.
Bellabirthing is a system of natural labor techniques in which a woman and her partner play an active and informed part. It is a simple method of increasing self-awareness, teaching you how to release fear, stress and pain. And it’s based on the best birthing research available. Couples find what’s comfortable in labor and go within to find the strength needed to birth. Instead of seeking to control the very strong sensations of labor with distraction, I encourage trusting your body, using natural breathing and proven relaxation techniques. It is not one-size-fits-all; small class size and individual attention help you find what works for you. I am influenced by the midwifery model of care, Bradley Method, Birthing from Within, Dr. Michel Odent, Dr. Sarah Buckley and Ina May Gaskin, among others. My classes reflect my breadth of knowledge and my independence as a birth educator.
