FAQ's
Where is your class
held? I hold class sessions at
Alliance Breastfeeding Center 5664 N Academy Blvd. (SW of Vickers
off of Academy behind Taco Bell). If class is to be held
elsewhere, I will let you know.
How is your class
different? Informative, Fun and
Interactive! It is a dynamic and cooperative
learning environment. Unbiased in approach
and information. Class is kept fresh with several
different teaching aids, hands on activities, class
participation and special guests. I bring a unique
insight of the local birth environment as I am also
a labor doula in addition to being a childbirth educator.
What about the breathing
techniques? Ah the old hee-hee-hoo
breathing is on your mind. I do not teach paced
breathing. In class deep abdominal breathing, diaphragmatic
breathing, relaxation breath (cleansing breath) are modeled and
practiced. There is proven benefit to how we
breathe.
What is
the best time in pregnancy to attend childbirth
education? Early third trimester for group
class so the learned skills can be put into practice and become
patterned behavior prior to labor. For the VBAC class, late
second trimester to early third trimester. Postpartum
Strategies is recommended mid to late second trimester before the
fullness and busyness of the third trimester occurs.
Can the private classes become
semi-private? Yes. If 2-3 couples
would like to have a semi-private class together to split the cost
that is
doable.
