GentleBirth with Janice Miles - Certified Instructor

​

From brain training, hypnosis and affirmations to physical comfort measures, this program offers everything you need in one curriculum. It’s not focused on having a “XYZ” type of birth. It’s focused on having the best experience possible, even if your plans change unexpectedly. The course includes 16 hours over 8 weeks, in small groups, with less than 6 couples, to ensure a safe, comfortable environment for discussion and exploration. Class format is interactive, engaging and thoughtful to ensure that couples leave with all the knowledge to achieve the best possible birth.

 

This course is best for couples aiming for an undisturbed physiological home birth, including a water birth if desired.  Couples preferring a hospital birth may prefer either the combined Gentle Birth/Evidence Based Birth or just Evidence Based Birth,
