In this Birth Essentials series, you will learn basic information about the birth process, stages of labor, pain management, and postpartum recovery. You'll practice coping techniques, relaxation activities, and labor positions.
Taught by Heidi Duncan, a Birth Doula and Childbirth Educator with over 20 years of professional experience, this course will help you glean the knowledge she has gained supporting hundreds of families during labor and birth in every setting.
PRIVATE SESSION: 1 in-person home visit + 2 Zoom calls
- If you live 40 minutes or more from 37035, there will be a $25 travel fee.
This class is focused on community birth (home and birth center) but is also open to those planning hospital birth.
The class fee covers attendance for the birthing person and a partner for the 8-hour series. Each family will receive a full-color Preparing For Birth workbook and additional printed resources.
After you've completed your purchase, you will be prompted to download files. These are supplemental resources that are offered as part of the class.
Private classes will meet at the family's home for the first session (4 hours of teaching plus an hour break) and then via Zoom video conferencing for two 2-hour sessions.
Both group and private formats of Birth Essentials have been discounted for the benefit of the homebirth families at Clarksville Midwifery. Still, anyone in the community may attend and enjoy the great value offered through this series.
