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. https://www.intrinsicbirth.com/philosophy daily 0.75 2022-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5855fe19bb4b1d3b1b37d9/1603338938054-SAQE7ESQBFO32ES9OI8P/image-asset.jpeg philosophy - Our Goals Intrinsic Birth founders, Ottilia and Cody, wanted more from childbirth classes - realness, depth, accurate and evidence-based information, inclusion and a social justice mindset, and a lasting connection for families. From those goals Intrinsic Birth was created. Research has shown that childbirth education classes help people to feel more prepared and less fearful of their birth, which in turn helps lead to better outcomes. Our goal at Intrinsic Birth is to teach you the tools you need to feel ready for your birth and to embrace your labor, rather than fear it. We also recognize that we don’t know it all. We’re continuously learning and adapting to keep our materials fresh and relevant to our clients. Our goal is to serve you during this momentous change. https://www.intrinsicbirth.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-09-21 https://www.intrinsicbirth.com/meet-us daily 0.75 2022-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5855fe19bb4b1d3b1b37d9/1599677020465-G6V6VYPA3XJ7V98FMN4E/sand_and_stone_media_santa_cruz_wedding_photographer_elopement_videographer_branding_big_sur_yosemite_adventure_proposal-42.jpg meet us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5855fe19bb4b1d3b1b37d9/1599676933441-SST532DEB7G6M3CQOVW2/IMG_2779.jpg meet us https://www.intrinsicbirth.com/offerings daily 0.75 2022-12-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5855fe19bb4b1d3b1b37d9/1603306587027-12PD89WHL6GIWLB8ROWE/image.jpg offerings - methods With our birth sessions, we go beyond the traditional lecture-style of pouring out loads of information which can lead to overwhelm and lack of retention. This is not your boring "sit-and-be-talked-at" type of class. Instead we use principles rooted in the science of pedagogy to engage our participants through interactive, meaningful activities that allow for real-life application. Using a variety of teaching strategies, birthing people and birth partners will engage in brainstorms, facilitated discussions, and unique explorations to tap into the often-forgotten qualitative components of birth preparation that lead to true feelings of confidence and readiness. While we will address all the evidence-based knowledge, facts, and physiology, we will use intentional activities designed to support you to feel prepared for the nuances and variability of birth beyond the basics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5855fe19bb4b1d3b1b37d9/2ef87754-4216-4fb3-81a5-88839b32e0ba/Intrinsic+Birth+Private+Session+Packages+-+5.png offerings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5855fe19bb4b1d3b1b37d9/67de3380-4a2a-428b-b2ed-b70a5d765fd8/Intrinsic+Birth+Private+Session+Packages+-+2.png offerings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5855fe19bb4b1d3b1b37d9/ad078e8c-3f55-4333-b77d-d0a73183f516/Intrinsic+Birth+Private+Session+Packages+-+3.jpeg offerings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5855fe19bb4b1d3b1b37d9/5c73b3ae-23b5-4cf7-ac3a-7443aa449206/Intrinsic+Birth+Private+Session+Packages+-+4.jpeg offerings
