I have been attending births for over 20 years and teaching prenatal classes since 2010. I have taught private classes both in person and virtual and group classes at Women's College Hospital in Toronto. 2SLGBTQ+ positive I have attended births and taught classes to a diverse group of expectant parents
My approach to birth is: home or hospital, midwife or doctor attended your birth can reflect your values, goals and needs. Whether you are planning a physically active birth or you need to labour in bed, we can find a way to make your birth the most positive experience possible for those involved in creating this new family or adding to an existing one.
My classes are a combination of relaxation and pain management techniques, exploring the physical changes and demands of late pregnancy and labour, and learning about necessary and optional medical interventions. Using humour, anecdotal examples, video, power point and hands on activities we will explore all aspects of labour, delivery and postpartum. I encourage questions and looking into whatever issues arise or are suggested by attendees.
