Natural Childbirth Class for expecting parents in Lancaster and Lebanon, PA

Become equipped with the tools and mindset you need to have a peaceful, faith-filled journey through labor.

You don’t have to go anywhere. I just come out to your house for a class all in one day.

Your journey through labor is a huge part of your journey into motherhood!

Not only are you brining your baby into the world, but you are being re-birthed.

But that doesn’t mean it isn’t easy.

It’s called labor for a reason

But that doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful!!

And what I can promise you, is that God doesn’t want you to enter the most transformative journey of your life with fear.

And you are probably pretty aware by now, fear is coming from you at all angles in your pregnancy.

But through Christ, you can claim your inheritance of “power, love, and a sound mind”

Enter your birth with confidence

Here’s everything we will cover

What’s really cool about it being just for you in your home, is that this class always ends up being fun, interactive, and personalized to your situation!

  • The mother’s body’s design for birth: understanding your anatomy. We will practice movements and positions to do before and during labor to make labor smoother. Everything to nourishing your body well, to move in a way to make you more comfortable in pregnancy and during labor!

  • The baby’s design with birth: learn what your baby is doing while you are in labor, and how to help them be born more easily. We’ll discuss different things that might arise during labor, such as you baby’s heart rate dropping or labor stalling so that you can know what to do and how to advocate for yourself and your baby

  • Hormones in labor: allow your hormones to do all the hard work. I’ll teach you how to create a birth space that makes the good labor hormones flow. But most importantly, we will discuss how to identify and release any fears because the most important thing you'll work through during labor is surrendering everything.

  • Understanding of the normal birth process: what to expect and do in each stage of labor. Usually, when we are nervous about something, it is because we don’t fully understand it, so this part is all about understanding the process! We will even learn all the all the options of natural pain coping tools and medical pain relie

  • Partner support: practicing practical ways your partner can be your ultimate support. We will actually try out different labor positions and massages so that it does not feel new to either of you, but you can confidently move into that space.

  • Advocacy: It is my goal to help you learn how to use your voice because I believe God has given you an institution that you are supposed to use. It can feel scary and hard to speak up, but by the end, you will know how to ask good questions and advocate for your desires.

  • Postpartum: we will have a crash course on the basics of breastfeeding and solutions to common problems. We will also discuss how you and your baby can get more sleep. And we will discuss how you can focus on healing.
