Giving Life | The Childbirth Way

STEP INTO PARENTHOOD EMPOWERED BY EDUCATION

There’s no single experience that is more transformative in a person’s life than pregnancy, birth, and becoming a parent. Journey through it with the awareness of how incredible your body was created to be.

Taught in home, these classes are cozy and intimate and I spend time talking through the psychosocial and spiritual components of pregnancy, birth, and becoming a parent.

This includes:

  • Fostering communication with your team

  • Managing fears about childbearing

  • Preparing your home and marriage to welcome a child

  • And an invitation to privately process childhood abuse or trauma as it relates to your upcoming birth.

  • "My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed Kami's birth classes. I didn't know there was so much to learn! I feel very prepared to birth and feed my baby after taking Kami's class. Highly recommend to all first time parents!"

  • Kami’s childbirth class prepped us so well for what to expect in labor and delivery. I love how Kami covered not only the physical aspects of it, but the emotional and spiritual aspects of labor, delivery, and becoming parents. It was a feel-good, light-hearted environment and Kami always made sure we were comfortable.

  • "Kami's birth classes were very well done and informative. I had all the information I needed to make informed decisions, and her classes gave my husband the confidence he needed as a first time dad. I would highly recommend her to any new parents."

My husband and I recently finished up our birth class with Kami. She was a great instructor and covered so much in her course, we highly recommend Kami. She is knowledgeable in what she does and it provides a great comfort in her class. It is reassuring to feel that you are not throwing money away because you will truly gain great information about all things reproductive and birth. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with her! She is so kind and truly helpful.

Kami did a wonderful job providing birthing classes for my husband and me. She truly makes any new mom or dad feel informed and prepared for what lies ahead. Not only did she provide a plethora of documents to refer to, she also made herself available to us whenever we had a need or worry. Kami is truly passionate about what she does and it shine through during each one of her classes.
