The Birthing From within classes at Best Start are taught by Sunshine Chrispeels, midwife, doula, birth assistant here at Best Start and one of the 7 advanced certified BFW mentors in California. BFW classes focus on specific coping strategies for the intensity of labor including visualization, self hypnosis, and the mindset necessary to cope with the intensity of labor. Information on the basics of baby care, breastfeeding, stages of labor and nutrition are also components of the class. Birthing From Within classes cover both mind and body preparation for labor with emphasis on birth as a rite of passage and birth as experienced for all support people involved in the process. Classes are offered beginning the 1st Sunday of every month. To register, contact Sunshine: www.solbeginnings.com or aschrispeels@sbcglobal.net .
