Amy’s skills and talents were put to use in a different way, in another spectrum of life, providing her with perspective and growth. The challenges we meet from the most honest and vulnerable place inside ourselves truly demonstrate that the only way out, is through.

Prenatal Childbirth Class with Amy - 4 wk series
« 4 week childbirth education class covering the following topics
- Pelvic anatomy and basic movements of the pelvis which help us understand why hands-on labour comfort measures work.
- Labour comfort measures as well as relaxation techniques
- Learn the physiology of labour so that when labour starts, the sensations of contractions, and baby's descent and rotation are expected rather than surprising
Once the baby's journey is understood, we cover what it is like for us, physically (positions and hands-on support for comfort), mentally (how our thoughts affect our physiology) and emotionally (emotional signposts through labour and how to hold space), and how we'll find support on all of those levels. We talk about variations and unexpected situations, typical interventions, when and why they are offered. Pushing and physiologic pushing, placentas, umbilical cords, and the postpartum period from birth through at least the first month. We discuss babies from head to toe, breastfeeding and the excellent breastfeeding resources in the area.
Always with plenty of time for questions, concerns, and support. »
