Birth Classes

Bella Rose Birth Services offers childbirth classes that suit your needs and desires. Together, we cover the basics of what to expect as well as relaxation techniques, comfort measures, the postpartum period, and much more. Class information is up-to-date and taught in a manner that empowers the birthing family to make informed decisions about their care, with confidence. We discuss common interventions and medicinal pain relief but focus on the benefits of allowing birth to progress in the most uninhibited, physiologic manner as possible, highlighting natural ways of coping with the trials of labor and birth. At the end of our time together you will be equipped with the tools, support, and knowledge that you need to create your most positive birth experience. These classes are hands on and a lot of fun!
