Childbirth is important, and you want to be prepared, but getting balanced information is harder than expected...
We offer customized childbirth classes with practical information you need without fear or fluff!
In-person & virtual childbirth classes for families who wish to embrace the physical and emotional aspects of childbirth.
We know that preparing for childbirth can be both exhilarating and nerve-wracking. We're here to help you every step of the way.
At our childbirth classes, we prioritize your joy and excitement, while also making room for any questions or fears you may have about birth.
We'll also help you build mindfulness techniques to cope with discomfort and stress, and understand when interventions can help birth, and how to stay grounded if birth looks different than you had hoped.
In Our Seattle Birthing Classes Your Family Will:
We believe that birth is a transformative threshold in life that cannot be planned from start to finish, and we're here to help you navigate any twists and turns that may occur along the way.
Whether you're planning on birthing at home, in a hospital, or in a free-standing birth center, we welcome you with open arms.
Every class is a chance to slow down and reflect on what's truly important to your family.
Join us to explore your own wisdom, compassion, and strength while filling in any information gaps so that you feel truly ready to give birth and care for your baby.
This is your opportunity to find balance and create a pathway to a joyful and unforgettable experience!

What Parents Saying About Birthing From Within Classes?
"Amity was a gentle, knowledgeable and caring facilitator. I definitely feel the time in class has opened me to new ways of being at the center of our birth."
"I would recommend this class to any pregnant woman or her partner. It was a truly unique and wonderful way for me to connect to my fears and questions about labor, and the fears of my partner and talk about how to cope with them honestly. We feel so prepared for birth and have learned so much about each other; Amity really helped each person (not just the mothers!) to look deeper than his/her questions to see what issues were beneath."
"This has been a great class. I've been extremely impressed with how you've been able to cover a lot of territory while staying somewhat unbiased and not presenting everything as though there is a "right" way. Even if the discussion took an opinionated turn, you gracefully and tactfully steered that thought/ issue/ opinion to a less biased place. I felt comfortable asking any and all questions without feeling awkward or judged by you."
"We had an amazing birth experience, and taking the Birthing From Within class was very valuable! Jason and I were very thankful for all the knowledge and ways of thinking that you helped open our minds to. Honestly, I believe the class helped my husband most of all! Within minutes of Malia being born, he said, "I sure am glad we took that class!"
