What makes a Birthing From Within Class Unique?

“Our classes were full of laughter, connection, learning, sincerity, and fun, and yet we were taking in new information the whole time. All thanks to your genuine and heartfelt approach to teaching.”

Here are just a few of the things that make us special:

Focus on Pain-Coping Practices

We place a strong emphasis on helping you cultivate a full range of pain-coping resources. Together we explore ways to simply be in the sensations of labour without suffering. our classes include active practice of pain-coping approaches, along with demonstrations of positions & massage. You will enjoy our exclusive videos and pain-coping practice CD to extend the learning to your home environment.

Teaching Style

Come prepared to expand your understanding of birth through our innovative approach to childbirth preparation. Clients describe our classes as fun, engaging, informative, and confidence-building. We strive to have a healthy blend of teaching time, group discussion, role-plays, pain-coping practice, and creative activities throughout the class. Small group sizes of 6-9 couples help ensure a personal approach.

Non-Judgmental Philosophy

Our classes prepare you for the full spectrum of what birth can bring. We do our best to help you feel you have all the resources you need to experience the birth your envision, as well as practical tools to help you navigate if your birth should be different that you hope. Many clients remark on how grateful they are for the opportunity to expand their understanding of birth in a supportive atmosphere.

Special Session for Dads

Each prenatal class includes an exclusive session mentored by an experienced father, exploring the dad perspective on labour support, bonding with baby, becoming "dad", and strategies for work-family balance.

Community of Care

At the core, Dancing Star Birth is about community. We are here to serve as an ongoing resource and support through pregnancy & birth, and your first years of parenthood. Whether you have a challenge with teething or childcare, you are always welcome to call or email with your questions. Many clients choose to return for a Mothers Unfolding group, and a Birthing Again session with a 2nd or 3rd child.

“This was my third session with Dancing Star Birth - our first Birthing from Within class, then Mothers Unfolding and now Birthing Again. I have so appreciated the thoughtfulness and scope of your programs; they have truly helped me in my mamahood journey, so Thank you!”
