Giving birth naturally means giving birth in the way that comes naturally to you.

The Nesting Place is very pleased to offer you Birthing From Within prenatal classes. These one-of-a-kind classes work with the philosophy that there is no particular ‘right’ way to give birth. Presented in an interactive non-lecture format, parents are free to explore the choices that are right for them, identify their strengths for labour and deepen their coping or labour support abilities.

Unlike other prenatal classes, Birthing From Within uses practical, hands-on activities to help parents integrate information, build their knowledge of labour and postpartum, learn to advocate during birth, prepare emotionally for the challenges of childbirth and deepen their intuitive relationship with their bodies and each other!

Four Unique Things About Birthing From Within:

Pain Coping: A strong emphasis on cultivating a sense of confidence and resourcefulness in your pain coping and labour support skills
Special Class for Partners: Special time is allotted for the unique process of becoming a parent from the partner’s perspective
Coping With the Unexpected: Gently helping parents confront birth fears while deepening a sense of resourcefulness for any path of labour
Birth Art: A neutral medium to explore how you feel about your birth, face birth fears, confirm positive intentions and exercise a sense of flexibility

There is wisdom within your body. Birthing From Within is designed to guide you in tapping it. So enjoy a little sigh of relief and join our warm, open instructor Amanda for classes that include:

-The stages of labour and labour support
- Specific techniques for pain coping, including compassionate use of epidurals and other medical support
- How to communicate with your health care provider
- Handling the unexpected during childbirth, physically and emotionally
- Birth art to explore feelings, fears and positive intentions
- Becoming a parent – the partner's perspective
