“Take this class! It’s all about different stretches and positions you can do before and during different phases of labor to make things move along efficiently. They also tell you options for if you have an epidural. It was fun! We learned a lot. Definitely makes birth feel like a team sport. This should be part of everyone’s routine prenatal care.”
Class is taught by Melinda Ferguson, Advanced Certified Doula with DONA International- 15 years experience attending births, and extensive continued learning on activities and positions for encouraging labor progress. Some classes are taught by Rebekah Gilley, CD(PALS), personally trained by Melinda and with additional formal training in labor progress techniques.
