What your traditional birth classes don't cover but you'll wish they did 

​Pregnancy and birth are more than a physiological experience. Preparing mentally and emotionally for parenthood is one of the most important things you can do. Your mind is incredibly powerful and can have a profound effect on your body, your identity, how you birth, parent, and connect with your community. Birth Education For A Healthy Heart & Mind class covers the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

Birth Education For A Healthy Heart & Mind is for you if you are pregnant or newly postpartum. However, if you’re a parent at any stage of your journey and want to gain further knowledge and tools around your mental and emotional wellness you will greatly benefit.
