Birth Boot Camp
Why Birth Boot Camp?
Birth Boot Camp specializes in preparing couples for an amazing birth and breastfeeding experience.
WE BELIEVE:
You CAN have an amazing birth and breastfeeding experience!
Couples can work together and grow closer through childbirth education.
Learning to relax both mentally, emotionally, and physically is an important skill needed for birth. Practice helps!
Nutrition, exercise, preparation, knowledge, and support are an integral part of having a wonderful birth experience.
Your support team matters! Your childbirth educator and doula are an imperative part of this team.
A professional and trained doula can improve your birth experience.
Breastfeeding is the best start for you and your baby. Education is key to getting off on the right foot.
Dr. William and Martha Sears
“Birth Boot Camp truly does empower couples to get the birth that is right for mother and baby. This course equips you to both prevent common health problems during pregnancy, and if they do occur, how to complement natural home remedies with medical treatment. Birth Boot Camp prepares a laboring mom to recognize her unique internal signals of the hormonal symphony playing inside her body to grow and birth a little human being. You will also learn how to work with your birth-care provider to have a satisfying birth and a healthy mother and baby. We are pleased to recommend Birth Boot Camp.”
~William and Martha Sears, Authors of The Healthy Pregnancy Book.
