Childbirth Education Center is devoted to preparing women and
their partners for the journey through pregnancy, birth, and early
parenthood. Our classes and consultations originate in an instinctive,
intuitive, physiologic perspective of birth. Women's bodies are
exquisitely perfected for this powerful event. Our aim is to
encourage confidence in women regarding their ability to work in tandem
with their babies in giving birth and being born. We foster a
positive outlook regardless of the actual mode of birth. The strong
feeling of empowerment that results carries over into parenting
and any other endeavor a woman undertakes.
Our philosophy revolves around three basic tenets: knowledge of birth
physiology, freedom of choice, and empowerment of women. The birth of a
baby is also the birth of a family, therefore, decision-making
regarding pregnancy, birth, and child care rests within the realm of
each family. It is the responsibility of parents to search out the best
available information to help them make healthy pregnancy, birth, and
child-care choices. Ideally, the medical community acts in partnership
with the family rather than as executive director. Our aim is to inform
couples of the choices they have so they
themselves can make decisions appropriate to their own lifestyle and
philosophy.
Starting a family involves many choices at each step of the process.
Our aim is to support parents' decision-making process with as much
unbiased information as possible in a fun, interactive, supportive
environment.
