LovingBirths Childbirth Classes

What You’ll Learn

Every LovingBirths class is built around four essential components.

Become Confident in the Design

Develop a clear understanding of how the body is designed to work during labor and birth, allowing trust to replace fear.

One of the most powerful forms of preparation is understanding the natural design of the birth process. In class, we explore how hormones, environment, and support work together during labor and how these elements influence the experience of birth.

Work With Your Body in Labor

Learn practical techniques that support the natural processes of labor, helping to reduce unnecessary discomfort and encourage effective, efficient progress.

Birth becomes more manageable when families learn how to work with the body rather than against it. In class, you’ll be introduced to practical comfort techniques, helpful positions, and supportive strategies that encourage the natural progress of labor.

These tools help couples approach labor as an active process—one where both partners can participate in meaningful and supportive ways.

Learn and Practice Deep Relaxation

Practice the deep relaxation skills that support a peaceful birth, helping maintain both physical comfort and emotional steadiness throughout labor.

Relaxation is not simply a suggestion for birth—it is a skill that can be learned and practiced. LovingBirths classes introduce techniques that help mothers release tension and conserve energy during labor.

Through guided practice, you learn relaxation methods that support comfort, focus, and steady breathing as labor unfolds.

Prepare Your Birth Partner and Advocate

Equip your partner or support person to be an active, confident presence—prepared to assist you through each stage of labor, help create a calm and loving birth environment, and advocate for you during moments of decision as you move through birth together.

Birth partners play a vital role in the birth experience. In LovingBirths classes, partners learn how to provide meaningful physical, emotional, and practical support throughout each stage of labor.

They leave with a clear understanding of how to support the laboring mother and help create a calm, connected birth environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. LovingBirths classes are designed to support families in hospital, birth center, or home settings. The focus is on preparation, understanding the birth process, and learning practical comfort skills that can be helpful regardless of your birth plan.

  • Yes. LovingBirths classes are designed to equip families with the understanding, comfort techniques, and partner support skills that are especially helpful for those planning an unmedicated or low-intervention birth. Many couples who complete the class go on to have low-intervention birth experiences.

    However, no class can guarantee a specific outcome. Birth unfolds in its own way, and continued preparation and practice after class play an important role in how you experience labor.

  • LovingBirths offers private, one-to-one instruction so you can prepare in a comfortable and personalized setting.

  • No. Birth partners are gently guided and included in a supportive way. There is no pressure to perform — only practical instruction to help them feel prepared and confident in how to support you.

  • Most families attend during the third trimester, though you are welcome to take the class at any time in pregnancy. Attending in the second trimester can provide extra time to explore recommended resources and to build confidence through continued relaxation practice.

  • Please bring one to two pillows, a cozy blanket if you’d like, your workbook (after the first session), and water. Wear comfortable clothing that allows for movement and relaxation practice.

    These details will be included again in your class reminder email after you book.

  • LovingBirths classes are scheduled as private, extended sessions and require dedicated time set aside specifically for your family. For this reason, payments are non-refundable once booking/payment is confirmed.

    If you need to reschedule, please contact me as soon as possible. I will make every reasonable effort to find an alternative date that works for both of us. Rescheduling is subject to availability.

    Thank you for understanding that these policies allow LovingBirths to protect the time and preparation set aside for each family.
