  “Light and darkness dancing together, born together, born of each other, neither preceding, neither following, both fully being in joyful rhythm."

 ― Madeleine L'Engle

Childbirth Education

Picture
Sarah teaches evidence-base, interactive classes designed to inform and prepare you however you choose to birth. Birth is a normal - and amazing! - process involving both body and mind. Classes are fun, interactive, and emphasize dialogue to best address a family's individual needs.

  • Explore values, beliefs, and fears you have about birth and parenting
  • Master simple relaxation and breathing techniques
  • Connect with your baby and your partner
  • Learn about the physiology of labor & birth 
  • Discuss common challenges of pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period 
  • Understand your options and how to collaborate with your care provider
  • Gain  the skills to care for your baby - and yourself - postpartum

If a group class doesn't work with your schedule or you'd prefer a personalized class, Sarah can teach a private class at your home, designed specifically for your needs and interests. Sessions are 2 - 3 hours in length.

Private class options


Full childbirth preparation series (3 - 6 sessions, 9 - 12 hrs)
​A private class at your home, designed specifically for your needs

Please contact me about scheduling classes. Weekday daytimes are generally available, but evening slots are very limited and fill quickly! I make a special effort to accommodate parents who are having an unexpected scheduled birth.

Classes are $130 for the first session, and approx. $40/hr thereafter.  E.G. , a full series is $370 - $490. Fee is determined based on expected hours.  Comfort measures is $100.  Discounts available for doula clients.
