WHAT TO EXPECT

Your schedule is a priority, so I will work with you to set an optimal time for your class.

 

Prior to class, you will receive a packet outlining most of what we will cover for you to look over in advance. You can refer to this packet and take notes on it as well during class.

 

  I will recommend you have a few things, such as an exercise ball, so you can practice movements and exercises we go over. 

 

  I will also present you with a few questions to consider that will help me get to know you more during class.

 

After class, I will be available to you to answer any questions or clarify information we discussed in class.  I get it- sometimes you think you'll remember but you don't.

 

Expect a follow up from me and most likely some suggestions specific to your pregnancy. This may include an exercise packet, referrals, homeopathic recommendations, etc.

free virtual childbirth education class

I formed a nonprofit, a 501(c)(3), with the mission and purpose to ultimately make childbirth education accessible for all women.

 

In order to reduce birth trauma and the high maternal mortality rate, I believe we need to educate and empower the people- the mothers. 

 

This class is for you if you... 

 

+are planning an unmedicated hospital birth and cannot afford a class that is in alignment with your birth preferences 

 

+want to learn about options and birthing rights that the OB or hospital staff may not disclose or affirm 

 

+have experienced medical trauma or have feelings of fear, anxiety or even doubt related to the hospital setting, but are confident in your bodies capabilities and physiological birth

 

+would like a safe space to ask questions and receive evidenced based answers 

 

+are wanting a positive and joyous birth experience and would appreciate being empowered with knowledge and practical tools that can be applied in pregnancy, labor and birth 

 

Class will be offered once monthly, virtual through Google Meet and will last approximately two to three hours. 

 

 

reviews

"Maegan came highly recommended, and she did not disappoint. As a first-time mom, it was nice to be in a more intimate setting vs. the larger classes. A lot of my fears were addressed, and you'll leave feeling more confident about the birth process. She will make sure husbands get involved, especially when teaching the labor contraction techniques." -Novella M.

 

"Maegan is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the laboring process and making sure her clients are completely informed on how to have a natural birth with as little intervention as possible. She definitely puts her mind, body, and spirit into this subject and I couldn’t ask for a more qualified individual to be teaching my partner and I about this subject. It’s amazing that there is somebody willing and able to inform parents on these topics with such wisdom and passion." -Monique G.
