Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
— William Butler Yeats

Childbirth is the ultimate teacher.

Below I outline my two Childbirth Education offerings, private online sessions and boutique in-person group classes in Burnaby.

My hope is to illuminate your body’s anatomy, natural hormonal matrix, and the power of your mindset.

When moving through your birth process this knowledge will allow complete trust in what your mind/body/spirit is capable of in one of the most incredible, lifechanging ways.

If you are interested in a deeper container & more support I do have one Homebirth Guidance & Long Distance Support space available per season. Winter 2024/25 is full. One Spring 2025 space open. Reach out to Katherine here.

I look forward to connecting with you!

Note: All Birth Care clients receive Childbirth Education as part of Prenatal Care.
