History
Two friends, mothers of 5 little ones, and Lamaze-certified Childbirth Educators, Linsay and Angel, launched Enriched Birth in the spring of 2020. We did not originally anticipate teaching online courses, but have very much enjoyed the connections we've built and the families we've supported and watched grow virtually during the pandemic. We will continue to offer many of our services virtually, but are also now very pleased to be able to connect with our clients in person!
Specialties
We offer childbirth education courses, private birth planning sessions, and birth story medicine healing sessions. We are evidence based, Lamaze-certified instructors and are non-judgmental and supportive of all types of birth. We believe that much of the fear around birth is due to lack of exposure. We teach the anatomy of birth and discuss the pain of birth in order to give parents a sense of what to expect and an understanding of what is happening to their body. We also believe that expectant parents should be empowered to give birth however they feel is best for them. We teach self-advocacy, reflection on birthing preferences, and we support all types of birth in the hopes that each of our students walks away from their birth feeling like they had a positive experience. Our 10-hour childbirth preparation course includes activities and preparation for the following (and lots more): * 10 hours of live, dynamic instruction * A packet of materials including the comprehensive course guide, planning prompts, as well as handouts with valuable information and resources to take with you to your birthing location. This includes 80+ birth planning icons and a birth plan template. * One month of email support from Lamaze-certified childbirth educators, Linsay and Angel Our class is highly interactive and fun and we encourage participation and questions both during the class and via email.
