I got a "day job" about 6 months ago, and sometimes it's a lot! But I am still teaching! I appreciate your patience if you try to reach me during a busy period.

Thank you for your interest in Nourish Childbirth Education classes! I look forward to serving your family as you prepare to welcome your new baby or babies. Information provided below is confidential and is requested to best help me tailor each class for the attendees. If you encounter any problems...

Hey there! Welcome to a well-deserved long weekend! Labor Day often has a different meaning around here 🤰😄
Here's an update on the upcoming birth class series: I have one spot remaining in the in-person class. However, virtual registration is still open until September 18.
If you are due between now and January, this is the class I recommend since November/December gets busy with holiday activities. (I am open to a virtual-only class in November/December if the need arises.)

See the link in comments for registration form!

Good news! While my in-person class is full, I've got things set up to offer a virtual option for this upcoming series (and for the Fall series as well)! I'll be teaching a group in person, and you can attend virtually by Zoom from the comfort of your own home!
Dates are Thursdays August 5, 12, 19, and 26 at 6:00pm.
Pickup of physical materials available.

I'm back from traveling! If you've messaged me and I haven't gotten back to you yet, please feel free to follow up with me. Thanks for your patience and reminders!

I'm getting classes scheduled and will be posting events and details soon! Group birth classes in August and Sept./Oct. A possible virtual birth class option this fall. Also scheduling some group fitness classes - Core Recovery and MomBod Movement.

As always, Corrective Exercise Assessment & Consultations and personal sessions are available, and so are private birth classes. Just contact me for more details!

Great first group birth class in a year! So happy to have people in person for class again. 🥰 It’s a totally different energy than virtual class or even private classes.

If you missed signing up for this series, and you’re due in September or October, my next series is scheduled for Thursdays in August. ✨You can sign up now!✨

If you’re due in July or August and you still need some birth education or refresher, let me know, and we can set up a private class or series. 👍🏼

I may *never* remember to take pictures of my classes. 🤪 It was great to have a group back in the studio again. And I got a treat tonight, wearing a tiny baby while mom got her restorative movement in. 🥰 You should join us sometime!

June is a busy month around here:
2 different 3-class private birth series
A 4-week group class (I still have 1 spot available for this in-person class starting Thursday!)
Tuesday night weekly core recovery group class (I have space open this week if anyone wants to join us! $10 drop in 7-8pm)
Plus regular clients and new client assessments.
If you want to get on the schedule for any of the above options, reach out to me! I’m taking July off. 😅

I see quite a few c-section clients for diastasic recti or core strengthening corrective exercise, and one of the assignments I give is **c-section scar massage**.

For some people, this can be uncomfortable at first. In addition to the initial physical sensations, some people have some mental or emotional trauma tied up in their experience or appearance. We also recognize that the fascia and scar tissue of the body holds onto our mental and emotional energy as well, and this kind of massage may bring a release of those emotions. 😭😡🥲

But there are so many benefits to scar massage that jumpstart the healing process and help with c-section recovery. (Tune in another time for perineal scar massage tips for tearing or episiotomy scars.) This short video is an intro to what I mean when I talk about scar tissue massage that one can do on themselves.

4 week Group Birth Class starts in 10 days! Only 1 more spot available! Questions? Just ask!

It's back!! I'm so excited to bring back group birth classes! If you are due before September, this June series is for you. We'll meet 4 times on Thursdays in June (3, 10, 17, 24) at 6:00pm at my studio in Fayetteville. Class size is limited, so I recommend signing up as soon as possible. Link to registration is in the comments.

I'm so excited to have group classes in person again! Yay!!

This series includes preparation for any type of birth, including natural/low-intervention, home birth, and hospital settings. You'll learn how to stay low-risk in pregnancy, how your body works in labor and how to work with your body with comfort measures and tips for support persons, how to communicate with your birth team about your goals and how to handle variations and complications. You'll also learn about newborn care, postpartum recovery, and an intro to breastfeeding. All from a veteran mom of 4 who's been teaching birth classes in NWA for 13 years!

You'll get a pre-recorded lesson sent to you when you signup and pay your deposit. The class fee also includes a fantastic handbook and materials.
