Education
KNOWLEDGE is POWER and STRENGTH. Our comprehensive childbirth education program is an integral part of our Birth Center experience.
Our class series is required for our families seeking their first un-medicated birth. Let The Evidenced Based Birth Childbirth Class skillfully mentor you and your support team in evidenced based care, comfort measures, and advocacy, so that you can embrace your birth and parenting experiences with courage and confidence.
Childbirth Classes
How does it work?
The class provides a "flipped classroom" format with interactive sessions with an Evidence Based Birth® Instructor over 4 weeks. Each week in between sessions, you will have video and reading material to complete at times that work best for you (and partner)! Even better, you will be able to collect points for completing materials in between sessions for prizes at the end! We recommend registering for classes taking place early in your third trimester.
Registration Includes:
• 3 months access to the Online Parent Academy which includes a digital workbook, course video modules, a PDF library of EBB's Signature Articles, acupressure handouts, guided relaxations and more!
• In-person introduction class to meet your classmates and get started with the course
• Two sessions on Zoom in between Intro and final comfort measures class to meet and discuss weekly online modules
• Comfort measures class to learn hands-on techniques to prepare you and your partner for birth
• In between each class session, there are fun videos and interesting articles for you to read to prepare for class sessions
• Ongoing mentorship from your instructor during class and beyond for any questions you have!
Each registration is good for you and your partner. Any additional support person (doula, etc.) is welcome to come with to the final comfort measures class!
