'FEARLESS BIRTH' CLASS
We can imagine that the thought of spending your weekend in a childbirth education class, watching birth videos and having your instructor overwhelm you with information does not sound very apealing in this stage of your life.
You want to know what to expect, you want to feel empowered and confident making your own decisions for your own birth, but really, who’s got time for this?
Well… what if we told you that there is a better way to learn and gain confidence to experience an empowered birth?
What if we told you that even though labor is painful and may be very long, there are options and tools for you and your partner to ‘take the edge off ‘ and not feel overwhelmed through the whole thing?
At Above and Beyond, our classes are taught with a new and fresh approach.
We believe that childbirth is holistic and it is important to understand it holistically. Understanding what’s happening with your body but ALSO with your mind and spirit, you will be able to take on labor and birth fearlessly.
” The childbirth process is designed to work. It just needs to be uninterrupted, trusted and supported! ”
~ Dominika Buck
This new approach to childbirth education is designed to educate you and give you an understanding on how the process works.
The goal is to learn to recognize the things that can ‘interrupt’ the process and how to avoid them. You will get an understanding of the childbirth process so you can trust it and have the knowledge and tools to support it.
In this 3 hour personalized and interactive class, you will learn about your options to make choices for YOUR birth!
You will get evidence based information without judgment or bias.
You will learn about positions for labor and pushing.
We will talk about pain management options and comfort measures. Navigating and handling the change of plans.
But most importantly. You will learn about the childbirth physiology holistically and your belief and understanding of childbirth will be transformed!
You will laugh, you might cry ( because you know, hormones… ) but you WILL leave this class fearless!
Additionally, we offer a 1 hour long virtual consult to assist you with figuring out your birth prefferances and putting your Fearless Birth Plan together, by guiding you through your own desires and providing evidence based information.

MATERNITY LEAVE UPDATE
Since I’m expecting my own 5th baby that’s due at the end of May, I will be going on maternity leave through the summer.
I will be taking birth clients that are due no later than the end of April and will resume attending births in early fall.
I will be doing all other services, like placenta, photography and classes, until early May and then again in late June/July… possibly with a cute baby in a tow ( or a baby carrier :))

'POSTPARTUM PREPARATION' CLASS
Planning and preparing for the postpartum is far not as common as it is to prepare for the childbirth.
But the way you experience your postpartum will influence the coming years of your motherhood.
Proper recovery in the postpartum is crucial.
Cultures all around the world have postpartum traditions, but our traditions have been lost through the generations.
Mothers in our society aren’t getting enough education and support and we enter the motherhood with symptoms that as a culture, we have learned to accept as normal.
In this 3 hour class, you will learn all the important information to be prepared and plan well for your postpartum.
We will cover the physiology of postpartum. Understanding what is happening to your body after childbirth can help you better support it in recovery.
We will also cover postpartum mental disorders and you will get a crash-course in breastfeeding, pumping and immediate infant care.
This class also includes the Postpartum Recovery Nutrition class components.
All this knowledge is essential to be able to prepare and plan for a proper recovery and a positive postpartum experience.
