Childbirth Classes
Modern childbirth classes can be filled with information and not very equipping for the actual event. I've been teaching birth classes for many years and have put together and hands-on training that is meant to help couples work together so that fathers are included -enabled to be extremely helpful so they are neither left out nor expected to do things outside of their ability. I spend time focused on just mom, just dad and then put it together with training to help you to work together as a team when it is time. Other family and friends are welcome to attend for a small fee. Currently classes are $300 per couple for approximately 6-10 hours of training. Shorter weekend classes are available upon request for $200. See below for other classes that may be available.
If you are a teen parent or single adult these classes are available at a discount or free of charge - depending on your situation.

Nutrition/Nourishing
Food is an issue!!! Good nutrition is hard to understand some times and knowing how to prepare healthy foods can be super challenging. My advise on this topic comes entirely from my own struggles to find health through nutritional means. It has been a long and frustrating learning curve for me, but I've gained a lot of wisdom that I would love to share with you and your spouse. Good eating is vital for a healthy pregnancy and birth - both for you and for your baby. You may be surprised at what ancient wisdom has been lost to us and what you can do to provide your baby with the best possible health for a lifetime. Stronger bones, decreased pain and tearing, quicker recovery, longer endurance in labor, better health in breastfeeding and much more! This course is not complete yet, but please ask about it and we can have an informal lesson or two as needed.
Trauma Recovery
This class is not counseling in the modern sense, but is prayer based, faith based and meant to lead you out of trauma, replacing it with the good things God has for you. Many women struggle their entire lives with childhood traumas, birth traumas and sexual traumas - these can all impact the birth process and make the struggles of childbirth much more complicated/challenging. NO PROMISES. But I've seen our God move mountains and I believe He wants us all freed from the power of trauma in our lives. These prayer concepts are loosely based on Sozo training from Bethel Church in Redding, Ca. - however most of it comes from years of observation and direct intervention from God. There is no additional fee for this support and no promise that it will cure or free you, just the knowledge that it could help and it could make all the difference.
