Condensed Class
This class is for exceptional or challenging situations and can not compare with or replace the full 12 weeks series
This class runs two Saturdays (possibly Sundays) approximately 5 hours each day, and when possible with a 2 weeks break between the two classes.
Cost of the Condensed program is $300 per couple.
During our 10 hours together, we will cover…
- Staying healthy and low risk
- Basic Nutrition
- Pregnancy exercises to prepare your birthing muscles
- Importance of relaxed, abdominal breathing
- Relaxation techniques
- Avoiding unnecessary pain
- Understanding and practicing contractions
- Labour Stages and Labour Mapping
- Labour rehearsals
- Mom’s labour checklist
- Dad’s labour checklist
- Bradley Energy Saving Techniques
- Some videos
- Reviewing medical interventions and their pros and cons
- Lots of extras, depending on questions and time available
With the Condensed Program, I do not spend time on: developing birth plans, discussing breastfeeding, baby care or postpartum issues, I do not teach you how to work with your birth team to overcome obstacles, as there is just not enough time.
But if couples want me to review their birth plan or talk with us about breastfeeding or post birth concerns, I’m only a phone call (or e-mail) away!
