ABOUT CHILDBIRTH CLASS WITH FAITH
Planning a home or birth center birth? This live, virtual community childbirth class was made for you.
Our childbirth series is open to everyone — whether you’re birthing at Mind Body Birth or working with another midwife or community birth provider.
This two-part series includes two 3-hour classes designed to take you from preparing for birth to understanding what it actually looks and feels like to move through labor.

Childbirth classes are open to anyone planning a community birth. Cost is $400
Class 1: Prepare + Plan
Preparing for birth is about so much more than preparing your body. We’ll spend time on the physical, mental, emotional, and practical preparation that can make a real difference in your birth experience. We’ll cover fears and expectations, comfort and coping tools, partner support, informed decision-making, preparing for the unexpected, and the practical things we want you thinking about before labor begins.
Class 2: Labor + Birth
We walk through labor from beginning to end — what’s happening in your body, what contractions and each stage may feel like, how to cope, when to rest, when to move, how your partner can help, and what to expect as you get closer to meeting your baby.
Taught From Real Community Birth Experience
Faith brings more than 21 years of experience in community birth, attending home and birth center births across multiple states and internationally. That experience brings a depth to the class that goes beyond the basics — sharing the real-life nuances of labor, the many ways birth can unfold, the options available along the way, and the knowledge that comes from supporting families through thousands of hours of labor and birth.
Come with your questions, your partner, your birth plans — and even your nerves. The goal is to leave feeling informed, prepared, and genuinely ready and excited for your upcoming community birth.
This live virtual class covers topics such as anatomy of the breast, the first latch, nursing positions, making breast milk, what to expect during lactation and breastfeeding, pumping and bottles, and more.
Partners please attend as well.
If you have a qualifying insurance, there is no cost to attend class. If you do not have qualifying insurance, it is $75 per family.
