Childbirth Education

Knowledge is power! Birth is a life changing experience and should not be something that just happens to you. Graceful Birth & Families is passionate about making you the expert on you-- with a variety of educational opportunities to meet your needs and the needs of your growing family. 

 “There is a secret in our culture and it is not that birth is painful but that women are strong.” -Laura Stavoe Harm

HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method

Contemporary women in our culture hold an unprecedented fear of giving birth, too often associating it with excruciating pain, thereby causing their bodies to become unable to perform what is a normal physiological function. HypnoBirthing® is a unique method of relaxed, natural childbirth education enhanced by self‑hypnosis and guided imagery techniques that allows women to use their natural abilities to bring about safer, easier, and more comfortable birthing.

Newborn Care & Transition to Parenthood

 Did you know most couples report that adding a baby changed their relationship significantly? Sleep, travel, finances-- it all changes. And those precious ones don't come with manuals. This class is offered as an extension to the HypnoBirthing series or by itself. It covers basic care: diapering, feeding, babywearing, sleeping, siblings, milestones, and more. It will also help you to navigate your own philosophies with confidence and practical skill while strengthening your family bond and partner relationship.

Empowered Papa Round Table

Fathers and partners are no longer bystanders in the experience of pregnancy, labor, and parenthood. What does that all mean though when they so often feel left out because they aren't the ones birthing, feeding, or getting all that pregnancy attention?  Attend an Empowered Papa Round Table to meet other dads and birth partners connecting to navigate this transition. Each participant receives and copy of Patrick Houser's book, "Fathers-to-Be Handbook", a fantastic, mindful guide to empathy for Fathers and family partners.
