Service Description

Comfort Measures for Labor & Birth Class & Workshop​​​​​​ Learn it. Practice it. $115 per pair (you only need to register one person) ​​**Discover what works for you.​ Knowing about labor positions and comfort techniques is one thing. Practicing them with the person who will support you during labor is something entirely different.​ This two-part course combines a recorded birth-preparation class with an in-person, hands-on workshop where you and your support person can practice movement, positioning, touch, coping techniques, and practical tools for labor. ​The workshop is appropriate whether you are planning to give birth at home, in a birth center, or in the hospital ​ Two-part course: Part One: Pre-Class Lecture (recording delivered via email after you register -watch the recording before attending the hands-on workshop) Part Two: An intensive 3-hour, In-Person, Hands-On Workshop​ Wear comfortable clothing for light activity.  Bring a yoga/exercise mat (or thick beach towel) and an inflated exercise ball that fits your body. We have a few we can share if you do not have one. ​Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. There will be a 15-20 minute snack break. ​Schedule: We typically offer the Comfort Measures for Labor & Birth Workshop three to four times each year, allowing each pregnant person the opportunity to attend at some time within their pregnancy window. Because the workshop is taught by our primary midwives, who remain on call for births 24/7, workshop dates may occasionally be rescheduled if we are actively attending a birth. Enrollment: In effort to provide a dynamic, interactive learning experience, workshops require a minimum of four enrollments. If the minimum enrollment is not met approximately one week before the scheduled workshop, participants will be notified. In the Event of a Cancellation: You will retain access to the pre-class educational recording and will be offered an option to schedule a personal ‘birth coaching and preparation meeting’, covering the same topics (or more based on individual needs) for the same cost as the desired class.
