Current Birth Classes Sonoma County 2012

I am excited to be teaching again!  I have had four children-- one in a hospital, one in a birth center and two at home, so hopefully my experience will fit your needs wherever you choose to birth. 

I have joined dozens of couples on their journey towards natural birth and have been teaching classes since 2007.  
I teach natural childbirth classes, focusing on the mother/father partnership in both Healdsburg (Sonoma County) and Ukiah (Mendocino County) California

I am teaching Birth Boot Camp natural birth classes. 

~The importance of natural birth~
~ Ways to prepare your body and mind so that you can have the birth you desire~
~Staying healthy and low risk~
~Choosing your birth attendant and place~

Also- I have a baby! I may be bringing her to class with me on occasion.  She is a very content baby- but I wanted to let everybody know and make sure you are comfortable with that before you sign up.

I need 5 signed up couples to do the class and make it official.
