Village Birth’s classes give you the information, skills, and confidence you need to have an empowering birth experience. Using a non-dogmatic, practical approach, we prepare you for your baby’s birth and the transition to life with a newborn. Doula educators teach each dynamic, discussion-based class while incorporating their local doula experience. Currently all classes are in person, unless otherwise noted.
Stay up to date on newly added classes and events by joining our mailing list or following us on Instagram.
Our goals are to help you understand the birth process, iron out your birth preferences and coping techniques, and know when to let them go. We will help you develop confidence in yourself, your partner, and your care providers, so you feel prepared to welcome your baby.
Included in our childbirth class is entry into our Village Prenatals (aka a pregnancy circles) for the birthing parent, so you may begin building your community.
Start building your village by meeting other expecting parents! Check out our calendar to see when the next weekend intensive or 4-week series is being offered!
