Evidence Based Birth Childbirth Class

Evidence-Based Birth Class

The Evidence-Based Birth Class is an interactive, six-week birth class series presented using the flipped classroom model. It is an excellent option for those seeking the flexibility of a self-paced course while also benefiting from one-on-one, in-person mentorship.

How does the flipped classroom model work?
You and your partner will receive access to a portal where you can view all class materials, including weekly video modules, a workbook, and links to various articles, podcasts, and studies on a wide range of topics. Each week, after completing the assigned modules, you and your partner will reflect on the material together while filling out the corresponding sections of the workbook. Once a week, we will meet (virtually for the first five sessions and in person for the final class) to discuss the content in a small, intimate group setting. This will provide you with the opportunity to share your insights, ask questions, and gain personalized mentorship.

During the final in-person class, we will practice comfort measures and simulate a typical labor scenario to prepare you for what to expect.

This course is inclusive of all individuals and places a strong emphasis on advocacy, informed decision-making, and partner education and support. It offers a non-biased, low-pressure environment to explore your options regarding labor and birth procedures, newborn care, inductions, cesareans, and various other topics—backed by the latest research. You will leave the course feeling confident and empowered to make truly informed decisions, placing you in control of your birth journey.

This course is ideal for both new and experienced parents seeking to expand their knowledge about physiological birth, advocacy, and the risks, benefits, and options surrounding medical interventions. It is based on the most current, evidence-based research, which is continuously updated to reflect new studies and ensure that you receive the most accurate, up-to-date information available.

The course fee includes three months of access to all course content, eight hours of one-on-one time, and unlimited virtual support.
