Classes
We HIGHLY recommend signing up for classes EARLY IN PREGNANCY, classes do SELL OUT!
Anyone birthing in our community is welcome, classes are not limited to those giving birth at The Birthing Inn only.
Birth and bringing a child into the world is a profound and powerful transformational experience. Gaining insight into what is ahead will allow time for absorbing, reflecting on and applying what you have learned. Consider what is important to you and what might your preferences be? What kind of care and support would you like to have? Which type of provider and/or birth place will most align with your choices?
We offer 2 choices for childbirth education, an accelerated 1-day class or a 4-week series and a 1-day body preparedness workshop.
You don't want to miss either one to give you the most knowledge for your birth & parenthood journey!

HypnoBirthing is an evidence-based Childbirth education program consisting of deep relaxation, self-hypnosis, special breathing techniques, visualizations, and affirmations. These techniques enable the birthing mother to work with the body's natural birthing instincts and rhythms.
HypnoBirthing shifts the cultural narrative around Childbirth from one of fear and discomfort, to one of empowerment and confidence. While it may not guarantee a discomfort-free birth, many discover that HypnoBirthing techniques help them feel calmer, more in control, and better able to achieve their birth preferences.
Roxanne and Barbara welcome the opportunity to be part of your family's journey!
