Birthing Again Refresher Class

For parents who have previously birthed and want to refresh their skills and tools

Birthing again? THIS CHILDBIRTH REFRESHER COURSE IS FOR YOU. if you feel the urge to take a break from parenting and prepare for the changes of your growing family, join us!

Our childbirth refresher class offers you the time to connect with your new baby (in utero!) and partner, as well as processing previous births, if needed.

You will leave class with a toolbox full of pain-coping practices, comfort measures, and new ways of looking at your journey through labor, birth and parenting. This workshop is rooted in our work with Birthing from Within, which embraces the reality that birth cannot be planned from start to finish and that all people involved in the process should have the tools needed to enhance their journey.

You and your partner will learn ways to:

  • Cope with pain during labor, including VBAC births.
  • Keep your relationship the priority even with a newborn baby.
  • Connect with your new baby (in utero) and prepare for life with two (or more!)
  • Strategies for sibling preparation and a smooth transition.
  • Set up your new family for healthy bonding after birth.

Struggling with your past birth? This class will focus mainly on getting ready for your next labor. We offer private sessions for Birth Story Listening to help parents heal and grow from challenges of previous births.

Upcoming Dates:

WHEN: Private sessions are currently being offered via Zoom.

COST: $150

LOCATION: The comfort of your own home. You can practice comfort measures and coping techniques in the very place where you will be laboring.

What Parents Saying About Birthing Again:

Our Birthing Again session helped consolidate a lot of the information of what to expect and helped us feel more prepared if it's even possible to really feel prepared. We used a lot of the advice you gave us and are so appreciative to have had these tools during labor and since coming home, particularly with the big introduction of our two children."
- Laurie & HeeYon, Parents of two

"I feel like, as a couple, my wife and I emerged stronger and more connected. I would highly recommend her workshops to couples who are expecting a child or already have children.”
- Patrick, Father of two

"My husband and I had a session together, and Amity brought so much intuition, respect and gentleness to the conversation as the two of us explored parenting/relationship issues together. Cannot recommend her highly enough."
- Heidi, Mother of two

Your first baby? Take a Birthing from Within Class

Our Birthing from Within childbirth classes are wonderful and many parents who have birthed before get a great deal out of the classes. But we know that you may not have time for a full 14 hour class, so we also offer a mini session for parents who have birthed before.
