Holistic Birthing Workshop

Let’s talk about Labor! This interactive and informative workshop is geared toward couples who are looking for the convenience of a more condensed childbirth class, or those who might like a ‘refresher’ in preparation for a second baby. We will explore a variety of topics around the upcoming adventure of labor, birth and parenthood, including (but not necessarily limited to):

  • Choices in Childbirth / Birth Planning
  • Stages of Labor (and proactive tools for each)
  • Comfort Measures (including best birthing positions)
  • The powerful role of the partner
  • Evidence-based risk vs. benefit information on interventions
  • Trusting the wisdom of the body
  • Postpartum & Parenting (babycare, breastfeeding and relationship adjustments)

Registration Info

A binder containing the information covered in class (including local resource referral) will be provided, as well as healthy snacks and water. Workshop size is limited, in order to accommodate participants’ individual wishes as to content areas to focus on.

Cost will be on a sliding fee scale of between $95--$125 per couple. (For those wishing to attend only the birthing or postpartum portions separately, cost is $75.) Pre-registration is kindly requested and a deposit of $25 will secure your place. Non-traditional couples welcome. For more information or to register, call (503.236.2458) or email Camille.

This workshop is facilitated by Camille Mülchi (MotherWise YOGA & Holistic Childbirth Education) and Ericka Rickman (Padma Perinatal Services) and is greatly enhanced by the wisdom of everyone in the room.

Looking forward to seeing you!
