Childbirth Education

“Absolutely recommend this birth class! My husband and I LOVED the doulas, the setting was so relaxed and comfortable and we left feeling so much more prepared every class. So much of what we learned we implemented right away much to the benefit of our pregnancy! Thank you so much Empowered Life Birth.”

I have collaborated with four other doulas to form Empowered Life Birth Collective. We LOVE empowering families through education AND have so much fun teaching!

In our four week (one night per week), in-person interactive childbirth education course, each doula offers unique wisdom, experience and support. We teach most classes in teams of two. We have created our curriculum based off of the latest evidence-based data with elements of Birthing from Within, Spinning Babies, hypno/relaxation techniques and our collective experience as birth workers. We also offer two additional weeks of classes on Breastfeeding and Newborn Care, for a total of six weeks. Classes are held at Beginnings Birth Center in Colorado Springs. We encourage students to interact, get to know other parents, ask questions and participate in our role play scenarios, games and quizzes!
