Thats a wrap on April-May birth classes!
For five weeks and one weekend, I got to sit with people preparing for birth and parenthood. During a weekend class in Bangor and evening classes in Machias, expecting families gathered to learn all about birthing their babies, preparing for postpartum, and lactation.

As each session ends, I am energized and inspired by these families; we drink tea and eat snacks together, there’s amazing questions and wonderings, deep thinking on dream births and fears, and partner and community support.
At the end of the class, I ask folks to fill out a feedback survey. This information has been so helpful as I’ve evolved the class over its many sessions. I’m always very happy when postpartum topics are viewed as most important!
The next session is already filling up. So if you’re expecting a late summer or fall baby, reach out! Classes are open to anyone and scholarships are available!
