Childbirth Preparation
Exploring Birth: A childbirth preparation series designed to inform and empower expectant parents
This class does not focus on one particular "method" or philosophy of birth. Rather, it draws from the instructor's education and experience of birth over the past 10 years. Serra has supported hundreds of local families through her yoga and birth classes. She has trained with childbirth educator's and midwives. She has attended dozens of births as both a doula and midwife's apprentice.
