NEXT CLASS STARTS SOON. CONTACT ME FOR MORE INFORMATION.

 

Joyful Beginnings classes are taught by me, Ali Weatherford, in my South Austin home. I am a Birthing From Within™ trained mentor.

The classes are for expectant mothers and their partners, if available.  They will usually be entering their third trimester of pregnancy.

Series classes are taught in a 4-week series instead of the typical 6. Because of the space restrictions, class size is limited to 4 couples or 8 people, making the time we have together more productive.

Also available are expedited weekend classes.  If you are nearing your due date and don’t have time for a 4-week class, consider a weekend intensive.  It’s a Friday evening class followed by a half-day Saturday morning.

To register, please visit the contact page and fill out the form or get in touch by email/phone.

Upcoming Birthing Class Series – $300

TBD

 

Upcoming Expedited Weekend Birthing Classes – $200

What can I expect from a Birthing From Within class?

A lot!  I try to cover topics that are important for you and the rest of the class.  When we first meet, I will try to figure out what you most want to receive from the class, and I will continue our time together with that in mind.  Birthing From Within classes purposely flow in an organic style.  The content delivery is important, but not more important than our depth of discussion.  It’s not just about what you know.  It’s also about how you feel when you leave.

My goal is to to make this class fun, and for you to feel inspired and empowered.  You will learn a lot and possibly discover much about yourself.  I want to hear from you, and I want you to find fun, joy, and wonder in the amazing changes you are experiencing.  My hope for all future parents is that they enter their journey into parenthood not with a clear and definite plan, but with a heart and mind that are clear and open to the experiences as they come.  Your birth story, whatever that ends up looking like, belongs to you and your children.

Some topics that will be covered in your birthing class include:

∗Pain coping practices

Eating in awareness, prenatal and postpartum nutrition

∗The stages of labor and physiology and hormones of birth

∗Birthplace and decision making

∗Psychological and emotional preparation

∗Laborland

∗Cesarean birth

∗Family dynamics

∗Pushing and birthing

∗Welcoming baby and decision-making for baby

Postpartum adjustment
