Birthing From Within

MEL-1.jpg

We live in a world of information overload. Birthing From Within originated in the 1990s but comes from a long tradition of birth as a rite of passage. It is also the answer to feeling like you need to know everything.

 

Birth is an initiation. In class you will build resilience, tune into your own inner wisdom, and connect with yourself, your baby, and your partner. We explore both the sacred and the scientific to help you prepare for birth.​

​

Think of class like coaching sessions that will help as you transition into parenthood. This heart-centered and holistic class is designed to give you both information and emotional support.

Taking this birthing class showed me a different aspect of the idea of giving birth, it definitely eased a lot of stress and anxiety. Not to mention Mel even makes your partner feel very involved, I think he enjoyed the class more than me. All in all, this course is amazing and I would recommend and take it again!
