How does Birthing From Within compare to other childbirth preparation methods such as Bradley, Hypnobirthing, Hypnobabies, ICEA and Lamaze?


So, all of that "chocolate for the soul" stuff was great.  But you want to know: What do we actually do in a Birthing From Within class?  You've come to the right place.
  • Proven Pain Coping Techniques
Parents rave about the pain-coping skills they learn in Birthing From Within classes.  They work!  About one-third of each session is devoted to learning and practicing these techniques.  Many different techniques are covered, so each person is sure to find something that works (usually many things).   We also talk about the wise use of epidurals and narcotics, making this class perfect for mothers choosing unmedicated birth, mothers choosing to give birth with drugs and for those who are still undecided.
  • Essential Information
You will learn just the right balance of information -- not too much, not too little.  You'll find this is not a sit-and-listen kind of class.  Topics like labor stages, physical comfort measures, preparing for cesarean birth and communicating with care providers are covered through lively discussions and activities that link theory to reality.  You'll enjoy being able to use and practice the things you learn and integrate them so that you will be able to access them during the powerful moments of birth.
  • Inner Exploration
Through journaling, art, dialogue and other satisfying processes, you will be able to do the most important preparation.  You will prepare mentally and emotionally for the momentous changes of giving birth and becoming a parent.
  • Focus on Partners
Unlike many other childbirth classes, fathers and birth partners play an active role in Birthing From Within.  Their own unique experiences in preparing for this huge life change are recognized and honored.  There is even a portion of class just for fathers and birth partners.
  • Continuity
There is much to be said for interacting with women with all different experiences.  Recognizing this, mothers are encouraged to attend monthly Red Tent Circles with women of all ages and stages.  This gives younger women, new mothers, grandmothers, and those of us in between a chance to learn from each other.  It also gives the home-birthing mother and the mother planning a cesarean the opportunity to rub shoulders and support and understand one another.
  • Unique and Fun
No matter what else can be said for Birthing From Within classes, one thing is certain.  There is nothing else like them.  And they are just plain fun!
