Intrinsic Birth
relevant and intentional childbirth education for the modern parent
our values
Birth is intense and people giving birth are strong. You can do this. You will do this. It will be challenging, but the reward will be immeasurable. We believe in you.
choice
We trust you. We support you. We understand that people have different ideas of what they want from their birth experience. We will support you in feeling empowered about your birth experience, whatever your choices are.
science
Our approach, content, and strategies are rooted in science. We believe that knowing the evidence-based content and best practices will allow you to feel empowered to advocate for the birth you desire.
resilience
Your labor, delivery, and postpartum time will not go exactly according to your plan. We want to support you in being in control of your experience and to feel prepared for the different ways your birth can unfold.
our perspective
At Intrinsic Birth, we view birth as a life transition for the whole family, as opposed to an individual medical event.
Our professional experience in education and nursing has centered around inclusive, science-based practices, and labor support. You will find our classes and educational materials to have an evidence-based approach and a gentle openness that encourages questions and diverse perspectives.
We provide a structured space for birthing persons and their birth partners to explore and uncover physical and emotional support techniques that can be used throughout the labor, delivery, and postpartum phases.
