Our society teaches women that they have lost the ability to birth their babies vaginally without the assistance of medical technology. We have a national cesearen rate of 31% here in the United States. The World Health Organization recommends that no geographic region exceed a 10-15% cesearen section rate. There are many interventions that occur regularly in the hospital that contribute to this high rate of cesearen section.
One goal of this class is to help prepare you for the possible interventions that can occur and how to avoid them.
Woman have been disempowered to believe that they can not handle the "pain" of labor. Today we look to technology to save us from a process that is as old as mankind. Woman do not need to be saved from the pain of labor with epidurals but rather empowered and supported. Through that support woman find the strength do what their bodies were born to do, birth babies.
The knowledge you will gain from this natural childbirth class is derived from research-based information about childbirth.
Women who possess this information trust their bodies, are less fearful, are less likely to be manipulated by hospital staff, less likely to have unecessary interventions including cesearen section and more likely to be satisfied with their birth experience.

This natural childbirth class takes a holistic approach in teaching couples all the facets involved in the birth process. This class was originally developed by a local midwife, who believed in the ability of women to birth their babies without medical intervention. The class has now become a conglomeration of many different approaches to birth. The basic tenant remaining the same, women were born to birth babies. There is a strong focus on women’s intuition and listening to it. Labor partners are encouraged to play a very active role at the birth of their babies. Through the information obtained in these classes couples will be prepared to make good decisions in order to achieve a natural birth. Everything from whom they choose as a care provider to what positions are optimal for giving birth are discussed. Tried and true labor techniques are shared, as well as natural remedies for coping with the pain of labor. There is no emphasis on the removal of pain from birth. It is my belief that pain is not something that we should try to escape in birth, but rather embrace. Homebirth is also covered in this class. The safety and benefits of homebirth as well as how to locate a homebirth midwife. Any woman who is interested in alternative health/medicine should consider taking this natural childbirth class as it incorporates many aspects of birth that are not covered in a typical hospital childbirth class.
