About The Peaceful Birth Class
Peaceful Birth Class
Class includes Breastfeeding and Newborn Care
Instructor - Cheryl Orengo, BS, ICCE
Group Class - I teach one group class each month online. Pregnancy is a time to nurture yourself and get ready for labor, birth and your newborn baby. This 6.5 hour Saturday afternoon class will give you hands-on practice and knowledge about the entire birth process as well as caring for your newborn. The act of childbirth can seem mysterious for first-time parents-to-be so learning with others can be comforting. The class will help you to be stronger and more confident about working together during labor, birth and with your newborn.
Private Class - I can also provide a 6 hour private class at a time that is best for both of you. If you need a refresher course, you are worried because you have already experienced birth or just have particular needs, a private class will be perfect for you.
For both classes I teach knowledge and skills and help you with hands-on-practice to provide the best birth experience possible. I can't promise you an easy birth, no one can, I can't promise that you will not have pain, no one can, but I can ease your fear of the unknown, and give you the tools to have a joyous birth no matter what situation arises.
I have been teaching childbirth and parent education for 37 years, led hundreds and hundreds of doula clients through labor and birth for over 33 years and I trained doulas for DONA International for 17 years so I teach my students the methods I taught my doula trainees.
My peaceful birth and baby class will give you the tools to have a joyous birth and an easier postpartum creating happy memories of your first weeks with your newborn.
