Comprehensive Childbirth Education (part 1/4)
This childbirth series will cover all the bases from anatomy and physiology of pregnancy and labor, informed decision making and coping with labor (both pharmaceutical and non-medical options covered in depth). We’ll cover birth (both vaginal and cesarean), the immediate postpartum and newborn care. Classes inspired by Boston Association for Childbirth Education (BACE), Emma offers community-based classes to Boston families regardless of the type of birth they plan. This series will be really low cost because it’s my first offering!
Low-cost childbirth class in Jamaica Plain
Upcoming Sundays February 23, March 1, March 8 and March 15 I will be offering a low-cost comprehensive childbirth education series in Jamaica Plain at Birth and Beyond on Centre St.
Class will meet between 2-5pm. This will be my certifying series of classes, and I plan to continue to offer other childbirth ed classes in Jamaica Plain in 2020. If you’re interested in joining, contact me at emma@lavandoula.com.
Upcoming Projects
In 2020, I’ll be launching a series of herbal classes on pregnancy topics, called Birthkeeper Herbalism. Interested folks will be able to sign up for the whole series, or one-off topics. More information will be posted on the website.
I am also becoming a certified childbirth educator through BACE (Boston Association for Childbirth Education). Upcoming herbal-informed and queer-centered childbirth classes will be planned in 2020.
I will still be attending births, but will take fewer families on in a given month. Repeat clients, hit me up! 😉
