Childbirth Classes for an Amazing Birth
Birth Boot Camp Classes
Congrats on your upcoming birth! I am a certified Birth Boot Camp Instructor and would love to help you prepare for an amazing birth! Childbirth and postpartum are milestone events and affect women, babies, fathers, and families. My classes can help make the birth experience more joyful, bringing a couple closer together, and improve the likelihood of successful breastfeeding. There is a lot to talk about when preparing to have a baby, classes cover the purpose of a low-intervention birth, nutrition and exercise to stay low risk, common procedures, the physical process of labor and pushing, choice of care provider, and pregnancy and postpartum care. These classes are designed for couples who want to experience birth together.

The 7-hour Express Class is done over 2-days and offers a top-notch class in a compact timeframe.

The Comprehensive class consists of 10 sessions that provide a comprehensive understanding of childbirth, baby care, and breastfeeding for you and your partner. The focus is not only on physical preparedness for labor but also on mental and emotional readiness. The topics covered include nutrition, exercise, labor stages, assembling your birth team, questions for your care provider, labor variations, birth plans, newborn care, and more. Additionally, we highlight the vital role of your partner and equip them with tips, tricks, and tools to support you through labor and delivery. By the end of this course, you will feel excited, confident, and well-prepared for the arrival of your baby. Includes free access to The Birth Boot Camp Breastfeeding Class.

About Me
As a mother of two daughters, I have launched Strong Mamas, focusing on creating a nurturing community where women can access resources and feel confident and excited as they navigate the wonderful path of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.
My current emphasis is on providing childbirth education to enable families to thrive during the transformative period of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My goal is to empower women and their partners to learn about their birthing options, make choices based on this knowledge, and receive unwavering encouragement to achieve their specific birth goals. Birth is a personal experience, and every woman should feel proud of her informed decisions, knowing she has the right to give birth in an environment that she wishes, with access to a full range of options.
Your strength exceeds your imagination! I'd be honored to help you build your toolbox to prepare for an amazing birth.
