Join us for a fun, interactive, in-person class surrounded by the natural beauty of the Ozark Mountains.

One Hour Classes: Learn in manageable one-hour sessions to avoid feeling overwhelmed. My sessions not only deliver the most up-to-date evidence-based information, but also include time for practicing relaxation and breathing exercises. I offer an optional Q and A session at the end of class for those who have questions or want more time to process the information. There are only 4 sessions in the series instead of the standard 6, 8 or 12 week trainings. Don’t think you need the whole series? No worries, you can choose the classes you want to take.

No Hospital Policies Here: I am not affiliated with any hospitals or clinics so my instruction is unbiased and unapologetically in your favor. All the birth options given will include discussion of risks, benefits, and alternatives.

Understanding Your Options: My classes empower you and prepare you to make the choices that are right for you. Whether you chose a home birth, hospital birth, medicated, or non-medicated birth, I want you to understand how to make informed choices without being coerced into options you don’t feel comfortable choosing. (See Using Your Brain ➡️)

A Shared Learning Experience: In-person classes offer a shared experience with the ones you love most and a community of people in the same life stage. Let’s face it, learning can be more fun together.

With over 21 years of personal and professional experience, Kathy will give you the scoop on everything you need to know about pregnancy, labor and birth. She provides practical guidance to assist you in learning birthing techniques that ensure you’ll feel prepared and confident for the big day.
