Comfort Measures for Labor & Birth -Recorded Education Class

Pre-Recorded, Live Class covers everything you need to prepare for labor: tools, partner support, positions, affirmations, and more! This recording can be a follow up refresher to our in-person hands-on class, or can stand alone if unable to make it in-person. This class is loaded with education and resources to apply regardless of where you intend to give birth -home, hospital, or birth center, and for those planning with or without medications for pain relief *note: pharmaceutical options for pain relief are covered in a separate class.
