Birth Essentials Class

Short on time? This class is for you.

Our Birth Essentials Class is a 4.5-hour, in-depth crash course designed to give you the most important information you need to feel prepared, confident, and ready for labor and birth—without committing to a four-week series.
In one engaging and fast-paced session, we break down the essentials in a way that’s easy to understand, practical, and even fun. You’ll walk away feeling informed, empowered, and much more at ease about what’s ahead.

What You’ll Walk Away With

  • A clear understanding of how labor actually works (no more guessing or overwhelm)
  • The most important tools and techniques to stay comfortable during labor
  • Practical ways your partner can confidently support you
  • A better understanding of your options and how to make informed decisions
  • A strong foundation so you can approach birth feeling calm and prepared
  • Your Preparing for Birth Book to take home and reference anytime

Topics presented and discussed include: 

  • Understanding Labor & Birth: Know what’s happening in your body, what’s normal, and how to make informed decisions throughout labor and birth.
  • Comfort Strategies: Learn simple, effective techniques—including breathing, positioning, and hands-on support—to help you cope and stay grounded. 

Why Families Love This Class

  • A condensed, high-impact alternative to longer childbirth classes
  • Perfect for busy schedules or last-minute planners
  • Taught in a relaxed, conversational (and yes—often humorous) style
  • Designed to keep both you and your partner engaged the entire time
  • Led by experienced, knowledgeable doulas and educators who make learning feel approachable

Amanda was fabulous! Well educated and made the class fun, which we were happy about since it’s not easy to sit through a 4.5 hour class.

I loved the class! I learned so much, but it was taught in such a great and casual way that the 4 and a half hours seemed to fly by. I look forward to the other classes!

Amanda hosted the birthing class, and she was absolutely phenomenal! So knowledgeable, kind and experienced. My husband and I learned so much about the stages of labor and how he can help support me throughout the birthing process. I feel so much more comfortable and informed. Thank you Amanda for being an incredible resource.
