YOUR BIRTH EXPERIENCE
We recommend our comprehensive, Thoughtful Birthing class for most people.
But if you can't make a 6-week class work with your schedule or circumstances, we offer Your Birth Experience (YBE) classes.
YBE is not a method of childbirth education.
Rather, it is a system designed to inspire you to connect with what is most important to you,
identify your needs, and become equipped to achieve your goals.

YOUR BIRTH EXPERIENCE is a comprehensive, customizable childbirth education curriculum designed with YOU in mind. The purpose is to help you envision, prepare for, and achieve the birth experience YOU want. Through the YOUR BIRTH EXPERIENCE Parent Guide, and sessions with your personal, certified instructor, you and your partner will be empowered and equipped for YOUR unique experience.
The YOUR BIRTH EXPERIENCE Parent Guide is an interactive journal that walks you step-by-step through the process of understanding your own unique desires and needs in relation to childbirth. It also contains detailed information about the process of childbirth, and evidence-based information about all your options that is presented in a simple and understandable way.
This five-hour class will connect you with your options in a way that no other curriculum does.
YBE is a fun, interactive childbirth class that is extremely informative without being boring!
This unique childbirth preparation curriculum is a concise course packed with interactive information designed to put YOU in charge
and give you the individualized tools you need to achieve the kind of birth experience YOU desire.
What makes Your Birth Experience unique?
WE FOCUS ON YOU
While "natural childbirth" or "evidence-based information" may hold the answers for others you know, your path will look different because YOU are different.
By exploring guided visualization, 5 aspects of control, individual needs based on personality styles, and availability bias in medical decision-making, we are able to help you identify what birthing options will feel most satisfying to you.
Gone are the days of "hee-hee-hoo" breathing and cookie cutter coping techniques. We take a fresh look at nutrition, exercise, writhing a birth plan, body balance, and relaxation so you can prepare in ways that actually work for you!
YOU FOCUS ON THE ESSENTIALS
Even the "experts" don't know everything, and you shouldn't feel like you have to become one in order to have a positive birth experience. The most predictable thing about childbirth is its unpredictability! If you understand the essential components of the birth process, we can equip you with tools to help you learn in the moment and have confidence to go with the flow of unexpected variations.
In Your Birth Experience, we CONNECT with our clients, IDENTIFY their needs, and EQUIP them to achieve their unique birth experience.
Parents get to choose how they learn best: Self-Study or Private Sessions
Each family receives a copy of the YBE Parent Guide, which contains all you need to feel empowered and prepared for your birth.
