Childbirth Classes: The Key to Your Story
What if you had the tools to feel safe and secure during birth?
Taking a class through Green Bay Doulas will give you unique ways of navigating through your story. Our personalized structure gives you everything you need to feel confident and secure throughout your birthing process.
What if you knew your options and how to navigate through them?
Birth Unlocked gives you in-depth knowledge of all your options from inductions to surgical birth, unmedicated, and pain management options. Rather than teaching a single method of childbirth, we equip you with the keys to create your own birth process and story. What if you had the most up-to-date and accurate information?
Taught by a Certified Childbirth Educator, you know that the information is thorough, up-to-date, reputable, and supported by ACOG, AAP, and APA. Through our open communication with local hospital systems, our Childbirth Educators remain current with hospital policy changes.
Experience for yourself the refreshing self paced structure.
