Birth Classes
Birth class: one day intensives
Taught by Maria Pyanov, birth educator, parenting writer, and doula. Maria’s comprehensive childbirth classes are based on the idea that birth is a profound life event and that it offers opportunities for learning and growth. These classes are designed to be taken at any stage in your pregnancy. Our classes involve both education and exploration of feelings about pregnancy, birth, and parenting. After taking this class you will feel empowered, informed, and ready for birth.
During our one-day intensives we cover: Comfort measures for labor, relaxation techniques, VBAC preparation, reducing the risk of cesarean birth, options for birth, postpartum wellness, breastfeeding, and more! Pre-registration required as space is limited.
Sundays, bi-monthly; 2-6p, cost is $165.00 per couple.
Please contact us, including the date (check events page) and class name to pre-register.
“Recently attended the one-day childbirth class at Maternal Wellness Center and had a really wonderful experience! The class was limited to a small group, so everyone had an opportunity to discuss the information and ask questions. Maria was incredibly knowledgeable, and provided tons of relevant and engaging content in a very relaxed, conversational way. I particularly appreciated her insight on informed decision-making during labor and the importance of feeling like you have a say in how things go during labor and delivery. It felt like a revelation although it makes a ton of sense. I would absolutely recommend this class to an expectant woman/couple, even if (like me) this isn’t your first baby.”
