What is Mindful Birthing?

Mindful Birthing is a holistic and interactive childbirth class, integrating mental, physical, and emotional preparation for birth, newborn care, and postpartum adjustment.

In addition to comprehensive instruction and discussion regarding pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and newborn care, participants learn multiple techniques to strengthen the mind-body connection, including yoga, mindfulness meditation, hypnosis, deep relaxation, and birth art.

Classes seek to build community relationships, providing expectant parents an opportunity to learn, share, and meet with others in a supportive and positive environment that is respectful and inclusive. Mindful Birthing meets the needs of new and experienced parents with any birthing history or family structure, planning birth in any setting.


Classes are taught by an experienced team of educators.
