Childbirth Education
CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION:
My role as a childbirth educator is to make sure that women and their partners are well informed about the many birth choices that they have, and to support and respect them in preparation for the most important day of their lives as they become a family. It is important they know that this is a vital life event rather than a medical procedure. I realize the importance of the quality of the classes that I teach, because even though I strive to guide, and not direct, you may make your decisions based solely on my expertise...and you have chosen me to share this responsibility for your care.
