This 2 hour workshop is designed to help expecting parents understand what’s truly happening in the body during labor, and how knowledge and preparation can lead to a more confident and positive experience.
This is more than just information, it’s about equipping both you and your partner with tools that foster calm, confidence, and connection. You’ll walk away feeling more prepared, more supported, and ready to approach birth not just as a medical event, but as a meaningful and special moment in your life as a family.

“I am so glad I took this class. What helped me most during contractions was the picture and description of what each contraction is doing and learning not to dread them, but to embrace them. I changed my mindset to be thankful for each one and reminded myself I was one step closer to meeting my son. Thank you so much for your class. It truly was a Godsend for me during labor.”
Alison G.“Rachel is truly a blessing. Her teaching calmed any and all fears we had. I had a complicated and unmedicated hospital birth and feel grateful we prepared ourselves with her class. I recommend her to any & all couples preparing for birth!”
