Choices in Childbirth Course

Julie Freitas teaches this 8-Saturday course that completely prepares couples for the birth experience and to care for their infant. Julie has been teaching for 30 years and believes strongly that women can have a rewarding birth experience no matter what location they feel most comfortable in - hospital, home, or birthing center. Please email Jessica for more info.

About Julie - my husband and I are halfway through the class and already we feel so much less fearful about labor and delivery. Julie offers an enormous amount of information, with no judgments attached to any of it - she offers simple, clearly laid out information with tremendous diplomacy, allowing us to make our own childbirth choices from a sufficiently educated
place. She is always available on the phone to answer any number of questions. The great unknown of labor and delivery, which can be quite frightening, has become a comfortable place of understanding and knowledge.

Julie's "Choices in Childbirth" Class:
I took Julie's "Choices in Childbirth" class in the beginning of my second trimester and found it very helpful and informative. I had heard so many horror stories from friends and family about their pregnancies and births that I had started to believe that all pregnancies ended up with some type of bad experience. After taking Julie's class, I realized that pregnancy and delivery/labor are very beautiful and natural processes. Furthermore, I realized that my pregnancy/delivery belong to
me and that by taking an active role and educating myself, I can achieve the outcome that I desire. After Julie's class, I started reading a lot and also hired a doula. Now that I am entering my last trimester, I no longer fear labor. I feel educated and confident that I have made the best decisions for my hospital labor and delivery.
