PRENATAL CLASSES
Our classes give you all of the information you need to make wise and insightful decisions regarding your birth. We cover nutrition, exercise, anatomy, fear/pain, and the valuable role of hormones. We prepare you for every stage of labor so you know what is happening to your body and baby. We teach you how to push effectively and safely. We discuss medical interventions and when they are necessary. We explore breastfeeding and touch on infant care. Our classes answer questions such as: How do I know I am really in labor? What is labor going to feel like? How do I get through the pain? Is having a baby a medical procedure?
Weekend Intensive- Ideal for military families who are frequently out to sea and those whose work schedule does not permit the traditional 6 week night class attendance. Friday from 6:30-9:30 and Saturday from 9:00-3:30.

Student Testimonials:
“I can’t even express how much the class helped with the labor and delivery process. I reviewed the
notes from the class almost every day before the labor. Staying relaxed during labor helped tremendously. I was able to take control of the pushing process, took breaks in between and only pushed when I felt the contractions. You may laugh at this, I fell asleep once between
contractions. That tells you how relaxed I was.” -M.W.
“I just wanted to report that I just had a successful natural birth experience. I’d like to thank you for your class, it definitely helped.” -M.R.
“Dear Christi & Aimee - Thank you so much for such an insightful and fun birth class!
The experience was invaluable as it gave us the tools to prepare us for a spiritual andnatural birth. You guys are incredible teachers! I think my husband, with his medical mindset, was really pleasantly suprised at the whole process of a natural unmedicated birth. In our OB/GYN clinicalsneither one of us ever saw anything different from the woman on her back withan epidural. I had done my research into alternative birth sytles and had been explaining that to my husband all along, but it was an eyeopener for him to see that video and experience your class. He said he wishes that you guys could give a presentation to OB residents to broaden their horizons! Thanks again for everything!” -J.F.
“This class saved me when I had Adelia!! I could not have had her naturally if I hadn’t taken the class… thanks Christi and Aimee!!” -T.V.
“Thank you again for the wonderful class. It gave us the information we needed to get through this wonderful experience!!” -J.C.
“Thanks to your class Matt and I really felt prepared. We breathed through contractions together, tried several positions from the class, and together maintained control the entire time. I cannot thank you enough for your ministry and how you have blessed us by aiding us with the tools for the wonderful birth of our son. Thank you so much!” -M.C.
