"Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers--strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength"
Barbara Katz-Rothman
As a
Registered Nurse and Health Educator, I taught childbirth preparation
classes at Kaiser Santa Rosa for five years. I now offer private,
in-home classes for you and your birth companions, tailored to suit
your individual needs and desires. Rather than teach any one "method,"
I will guide you through an understanding of the birth process, and
provide the tools and resources for you to approach your birth
experience with confidence in your body's innate wisdom and strength.
Some of the things you will discover:
How your body is designed to work in harmony with the birthing process
Relaxation techniques for a more comfortable labor
Visualizations to help you release anxiety and shorten labor
Breathing techniques to aid relaxation during labor
Position choices for labor and birth
Natural alternatives to a medically managed birth
