HOLISTIC CHILDBIRTH CLASSES
Pure Birth classes are designed to provide birth education classes using a
holistic approach and true understanding the perfectly “pure” nature of
birth. This unique style creates an environment where philosophy,
research and experience combine in harmony. By taking a look at how
nature made the body to work perfectly and the emotional needs of
laboring women, families will begin to understand the reason why a
“pure” birth approach creates for happier, healthy families.
After over 7 years of teaching natural childbirth, the founder of Pure Birth developed this unique approach to understanding how birth works and educating families in pregnancy. We have taken approaches from authors, Doctors, Midwives and other birth professionals from around the world and combined them together into a new Pure Birth technique. In addition, using concepts from yoga, meditation, and famous authors such as Dr. Robert Bradley and Midwife Ina May Gaskin, we have brought the best approaches together. Our unique atmosphere allows for plenty of discussion, hands-on practice and a deeper level of your inner awareness, which ultimately translates into better birth experiences. We keep our classes small enough for individual attention yet the popularity of our classes allows for a great mix of families and other experiences. This holistic method is vital to the supporting partner’s as they learn and understand how to help a laboring mother give birth.

Any where from a 3-week, 12-week, 8-week and weekend intensive options.
