Celebrated Pregnancy is an intensive one-day natural childbirth education class that prepares couples for a partner-supported, unmedicated labor and birth.
The birth of a child profoundly changes who we are and Celebrated Pregnancy is deeply committed to empowering couples to view their birth as the beginning of a lifetime of thoughtful parenting choices. We respect and value the power, beauty and instinctual nature of birth and believe that preparing is the best way to succeed in having a natural childbirth.
