Join an Empowered Birth Class
Our Signature Birth Prep Class, Empowered Birth, is designed to help expecting moms & birth partners demystify labor and birth, as well as transform fear and anxiety into confidence and excitement. We guarantee your perspective on birth will drastically shift. Society and media would have you believe that birth is something to be feared, numbed, or white-knuckled through. But what if...it's not?
You will gain tools for preparing mind, body, and nervous system for labor and delivery as well as practice advocating for the experience you deserve. This class provides a safe space to explore alternatives to the standard medicalized birth that is typical in hospitals and guidance on creating Birth Preferences to share with your provider.
Q: Is this like Lamaze, Bradley Method, Hypnobirthing, or other specific birth prep curriculum?
The class materials are original to Whole Mama Michigan but rooted in The Calm Birth School's Hypnobirthing curriculum as well as the personal experience of the instructor team (moms, doulas, Hypnotherapist). There's also room to customize the class to each group's needs.
Q: What if I do/don't know if I'll want an unmedicated birth/induction/other interventions?
All are welcome, truly. You will experience zero judgement around personal choices, only a listening ear and supportive guidance. However, we are 100% biased in believing that this class is the best birth class ever and 1000% more useful than taking a hospital class (though we definitely recommend taking the tour!) or one that only focuses on the physical aspects of birth (when there's so much to the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects!)
Q: Should Partners Attend?
Yes! This class includes important information for birth partners so we encourage them to attend any in-person sessions when possible and review the online materials. But if you need to attend without your partner or bring a friend to sub in, that's fine!
