Labor + Birth Prep Classes for a more empowering birth experience
Labor Positions Class
Learn the most frequently recommended labor positions used by birth doulas to encourage an easier, faster labor + birth with fewer interventions. We’ll explore labor positions for each stage of labor - early, active, and pushing stages. You’ll learn & practice how to do each position, which props to use, and - for partners - how to help the birthing person get into and out of each position. We’ll even look at specific labor positions to help rotate babies in the OP position (sunnyside up), help babies with arms stuck around the head, positions to explore if labor stalls, and more!
Birth Prep Practices Class
Explore important birth prep practices that help prepare the body for labor + birth and encourage an easier, faster labor with fewer interventions. You’ll learn prenatal yoga postures specifically tailored to preparing the body and pelvis for birth. We’ll also explore Spinning Babies practices & yoga-inspired positions designed to encourage optimal positioning of baby for birth. And, we’ll practice breath, mindfulness, and visioning exercises to support a more empowering labor + birth experience.
Birth Doula Services
Hire Brandy as your personal birth doula throughout pregnancy and for the entirety of your labor + birth. A birth doula is the only 24/7 continuous support person present during labor. She does not leave your side unless you would like her to. She provides emotional support, physical support (like massage & comfort measures), helps you in & out of ideal positions for each stage of labor, can support with turning a poorly positioned baby, and serves as your #1 biggest advocate during labor + birth. She works for YOU, not for the hospital or for your midwives.
With Brandy as your doula you get prenatal support sessions, access to her signature Labor Positions and Birth Prep Practices classes, on-call support in the final weeks of pregnancy, and 24/7 labor + birth support from start to finish.
What Sets Us Apart
Empowering, not overwhelming
Concise, to-the-point, 2 hour classes that teach only what you NEED to know to prep your body for birth and navigate the go-to labor positions unlike the long, overwhelming 9 hour childbirth education classes that have become the norm in today’s birth world.
Prepares your body for birth
Unlike the conventional 9 hour childbirth education classes, Brandy’s labor + birth prep classes focus entirely on how to support your body NOW to have an easier and more empowering birth experience rather than focusing on interventions and complicated anatomy + physiology that you’ll never remember in labor.
Active learning, not lectures
Brandy’s labor + birth prep classes are highly interactive encouraging participants to practice labor positions & birth prep practices as they’re being taught as opposed to conventional lecture-style childbirth education classes.
