Register Now! 

We have developed an innovative series of four week natural childbirth classes. Sessions are three hours each, one evening per week. A weekend “fast” option is also available for those with busier schedules.

In these classes, expectant parents will learn:

"Hands-On" Lamaze Class

• How to take the fear out of childbirth
• The anatomy and physiology of normal birth
• Variations on normal labor, and how to respond to them
• The emotional roadmap of the birth experience
• Comfort measures for labor and birth including coping tools and strategies,
  deep abdominal breathing and relaxation techniques
• Risks and benefits of common interventions and how to avoid needing them
• How to communicate with your caregiver to get the type of birth that you desire
• How to write a birth plan
• How Dad can thrive in his role in supporting Mom and what he can do

All students are required to bring Ina May Gaskin’s Guide to Childbirth.  This can be purchased through Amazon or borrowed from your local library.

More About the Classes

We understand that it takes courage and confidence to plan for a natural birth, and we also know it can be one of the most miraculous and joyful experiences of your life!

The myriad of choices surrounding pregnancy and childbirth can seem overwhelming at times, but we believe in the simple truth that knowledge is power. Our goal is to empower expectant parents to make informed choices.

The first three classes in our series focus almost entirely on the natural process of childbirth. You will learn the physiological and emotional progression of labor. We discuss common fears and concerns and learn tools for dealing with anxiety and the perception of pain. Our students learn and practice proven comfort measures and natural pain management techniques. In addition, we encourage husbands and partners to participate in the birthing process at their full level of comfort.

The last class in our series specifically covers birth in a hospital, including a study of common medical interventions and their risks, how to effectively communicate with hospital staff, a discussion of what it means to provide “informed consent”, and basic patient rights.

We understand that every couple is unique, and we take great pride in respecting and fully supporting all our clients’ choices. We offer education and support to couples seeking a low-intervention hospital birth or childbirth in a birthing center and at home. A key part of our practice, however, is supporting and empowering those who seek the more fully natural, intimate experience of a truly natural birth.

Our conviction is that, when armed with a thorough knowledge and compassionate understanding of childbirth, most women and their partners will find the confidence they need to experience this amazing process in the most natural setting possible.

Cost:

• 4 week series $95
• Weekend classes are $95
• Private Classes $150
• Salt Lake County Classes are available beginning in November. If you are interested in these classes, please call or email us for details.

Choices In Childbirth

Have you ever wanted to learn what choices are really out there for your pregnancy and birth?

Did you know that there is more than just the standard birth at a hospital with an OB?

Did you know that there are many options that your insurance isn’t telling you about?

Would you like to know about ALL of your options in pregnancy and childbirth?

Come join us at Mothering Your Way to enjoy a night of wonderful discovery. This class is amazing–you will realize you have more options than you thought possible.

After learning about your choices, stay for a question and answer discussion with a certified professional midwife and certified doula.  “Meet the Midwife” is a great opportunity for you to find out more about midwifery, midwives, and doulas in a casual learning atmosphere.

This class is completely free of charge and offered to anyone in the community.

Salt Lake County Classes are available beginning in November. If you are interested in these classes, please call or email us for details.

Baby Signing!

Is there anything cuter than seeing a little baby using sign language?

It is more than just cute: Researchers have found that using sign language with babies does help to improve their language learning and IQs.

For these reasons and more,  more parents are using sign language with their infants, whether they are hearing or deaf.

Baby sign language has radically affected the lives of many families.  Most children  begin to communicate through speech at 15-18 months of age.  With the use of sign language, families are now developing closer bonds with their children as they begin to communicate as early as 8-12 months of age!

Unlock the thoughts, observations and wants of your child’s mind with the gift of American Sign Language!  Come and learn how to sign with your baby in this fun and educational three week class!

Cost: $80 For A Three Week Course and Book

Babies are encouraged to attend
