Taught by Tara Van Dyke, experienced doula and childbirth educator.

Birth -- and, let's face it, life -- can throw us challenges we can’t anticipate. The unpredictability, unknowns and scary stories we hear can add extra fear and anxiety before labor even starts. This class will offer practical skills and tools to help you stay confident and calm through your birth experience.

In Comfort & Coping we’ll cover:

• How our internal beliefs about birth affect our coping

• Understanding the fear-tension-pain cycle and how to avoid it

• Protecting the natural hormonal flow of birth

• Using breath as a foundation for relaxation

• Birth positions to keep labor moving efficiently (hands-on practice)

• Tools to use for extra comfort
