Frequently Asked Questions
What makes The Birth Class different?
The Birth Class is non-denominational. We aren’t here to preach or teach the “right” way to have a baby or parent your kiddos - that truly doesn't exist and people who tell you otherwise are dangerous. Together, we practice tools to nourish your mind, body and nervous system for wherever and however your birth unfolds. We turn up the volume on your values and intuition so you can make choices that are best for you and your family — moment by moment.
The Birth Class combines movement, mindfulness, breathwork and real-world birth education into a class that leaves you feeling hopeful, connected, powerful and embodied. You might get sweaty, let out some primal screams and get deeper into your body than ever before. Trust us, you’ve never seen another birth class like this!
Our goal is to help you have an incredible birth no matter what! Even if it doesn’t look like how you imagined it would. Rather than clinging to an idea of how birth should go, you’ll develop the skills to be with it as it is. This is the heart of our work — and the essential teaching of The Birth Class.
Come see for yourself. Sign up for our next course. All bodies, all birth plans welcome.
Is The Birth Class right for me?
Yes — The Birth Class is for everyone! All backgrounds, body types, and birth preferences welcome and encouraged. Whether this is your first pregnancy or your fourth, The Birth Class is designed to meet you right where you are.
This class supports all birth settings — hospital, home, or birth center. Our goal is to prepare you for a birth with many possible twist and turns; giving you the confidence, flexibility, and presence to keep taking one contraction at a time.
When is the best time in my pregnancy to enroll?
The content is specifically designed to support people in their late second or third trimester.
Do I need to sign up for another childbirth education in addition to this one?
No, The Birth Class is comprehensive (and beyond!).
How much does the class cost? Are scholarships available?
We believe everyone deserves access to meaningful birth preparation. The full cost of the 6-week class is $500, which includes all materials and resources. If cost is a barrier, please reach out. We’re happy to work with you to find a way forward.
Can my partner attend with me?
Yes! We strongly encourage (cough *expect) partners to attend. This class is designed for both of you. Partners will learn practical tools like how to offer physical support, guided breath, and most importantly, how to stay grounded when their loved one is in pain.
Birth can be intense, emotional, and unpredictable — having a partner who feels prepared and confident can make all the difference.
Do I need to be experienced in mindfulness or Breathwork?
Nope. Everything we teach is accessible, trauma-informed, and designed for pregnant bodies at all stages of ability. You’ll always be encouraged to listen to your body and modify as needed.
What if I have a high-risk pregnancy?
Extra yes! The skills and techniques we teach in The Birth Class are designed to help you and your partner navigate times of unknown and transformation — and high risk pregnancy is full of both. While we may recommend modifying the activity level, please know you are most welcome and encouraged to sign up!
I’ve had a traumatic birth in the past. Is The Birth Class right for me?
Yes. Many people who join us have experienced previous births that were overwhelming, confusing, or traumatic. This class offers a compassionate space to build new tools, reconnect with your body, and prepare again — without bypassing what you’ve been through.
While The Birth Class is not a replacement for therapy, our focus on mindfulness, Breathwork, and mind-body awareness can be deeply healing and empowering as you prepare to give birth again.
What if I (or my partner) can’t make every class?
We understand that life happens. While we encourage attending all six sessions to get the full experience, missing a class doesn’t mean you’ll fall behind. Each week builds on the last, but also stands on its own.
We provide recaps, take-home resources, and guided practices so you can stay connected to the material even if you need to miss a week. If you know in advance you’ll miss a session, just let us know — we’ll make sure you’re supported.
