About this event

1 ticket = pregnant person + 1 support person

Join our Birth Support & Relaxation Strategies class to explore effective ways to manage labor and birth more comfortably. This hands-on session is perfect for:

Whether it’s your first birth or not, this class provides useful tools and supportive strategies for a more confident and comfortable birth experience.

No prior experience is necessary—just bring an open mind and a willingness to practice.
