Your Empowered Hospital Birth: Essentials

This one-day class is designed to equip you with practical skills and knowledge to support an empowered childbirth in the hospital, with a focus on physiological, unmedicated birth. Instead of focusing on a specific method, this class provides a variety of tools and hands-on practice so you feel fully prepared for your birth experience.

Throughout the day, you’ll engage in activities like practicing comfort measures, exploring labor and birthing positions, creating a birth plan, and having focused conversations with your partner. Here’s what we’ll cover:

• Labor Stages and What to Expect: Understanding early labor, active labor, transition, pushing, and the immediate postpartum period
• The Anatomy of Birth: How your baby moves through the pelvis and how positioning can support that process
• Overcoming Fear, Tension, and Pain: Techniques to approach labor with calm, confidence, openness, and trust
• Comfort Measures for Labor: A variety of non-drug pain relief options to try out
• Making Informed Decisions: How to find and use evidence-based information for pregnancy and labor
• Communicating with Your Partner and Team: Skills to support clear, effective communication during pregnancy and birth
• Writing a Birth Plan: Crafting a plan to reflect your birth preferences
• Building Your Support System: Laying the foundation for a strong support network as new parents

This class provides practical tools and extensive preparation for a confident, supported birth.

"My wife and I recently attended [Charity's class], and I must say it was incredibly informative. As a husband, I found myself gaining valuable insights into tools and techniques that are essential during labor and birth. This class debunked the notion that men can't play a significant role in the birthing process and equipped us with the means to actively support our spouses. Charity's teaching style was engaging and empowering, making this course a must for any partner looking to be an active participant in the birthing journey."
-John

"I can't say enough good about [Charity's] birthing class! Coming from someone who had little to no knowledge about the birthing process, I can say that the information and things practiced were extremely helpful in calming my nerves and getting educated. I feel much more confident about what could happen with my birth and what I have a say in. I feel like I have way more tools to help and now I feel like my husband can be more involved in the process. I would highly recommend this class to anyone that is expecting, it's truly helped me mentally and physically prepare!"
​-Breanna

"So so glad we took this course. Coming from a second time mom, I wish I took this the first time around & Worth every penny and excited to take what we have learned into our birth and postpartum experience. Highly recommend taking this class for a first time parent or even if it’s not your first time around. Charity was a great teacher!!!"
