BIRTHING AGAIN CHILDBIRTH CLASSES

“Giving birth is the most miraculous and amazing experience in a woman’s life. Britta, you spoke from a place in your heart that was full of understanding, experience, warmth and joy. You help couples prepare for the unknown challenges of labor and parenthood. I left your class ready to fully embrace labor. I felt centered and able to let go during the contractions to allow my primal self to birth. Thank you for empowering women!”

“My wife and I did a weekend immersion and were blown away by the power of the experience….By the end of the weekend, my wife and I felt so much more equipped to face the enormous journey we are about to embark on, so much more connected to the love we have for each other, and so much more inspired to dive into our future as parents.”

“We have not taken any other childbirth classes but we both felt more than sure that we ended up at the best one in the world. Your skill as a mentor, storyteller, listener, and communication guide are unmatched and I cannot possibly imagine anyone better suited to exactly the work you do with parents-to-be. I learned so much, yet never felt overwhelmed with information since you made the day so interactive. There is so much that I will take with me not only into labor and childbirth but in parenting, life, and my relationships with my partner, myself, and my environment. I loved how all the learning was connected to deep reflection into the senses for I believe that this is how real learning takes place – in the whole self…”

“I’m not always the most extroverted person, but I found myself opening up about a lot of things I hadn’t even begun to consider previously. The conversations never felt forced or awkward, as Britta is excellent at making everyone feel at ease while also inspiring genuine, deep introspection. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. It was more than just an education, it was the spark that I needed to begin the journey into fatherhood with confidence and insight. Thanks Britta!”

“While a basic foundation of knowledge and techniques are certainly covered, this class is really more about building confidence in yourself and in your relationship. It’s about becoming strong enough to be able to let go. That might sound a little vague or silly now, but trust me, it’s everything. And you can’t get it from a book or some trendy birthing method. You have to put in the work–both with your partner and yourself. This is where having a great guide is crucial. Britta is an incredibly well-educated and effective teacher who is great at communicating through interactivity and discussion rather than just lecturing.”

“Britta helped me prepare for the birth of my son with skill, compassion and grace. I felt empowered and aware of my own process so that when the day came, I had tools to enter into the experience with courage and faith. Thank you!”

“Britta is the college professor everyone loved to hear lecture, bringing an idiosyncratic combination of birthing techniques, pain coping mechanisms, and gender studies and mythology. But most importantly after her class we were totally prepared for labor and our son’s birth. She prepared us mentally by giving us tools for speaking with medical professionals. And she prepared us emotionally by helping us recognize our birth plan and develop the willingness to let go of it.”

“The best thing about Britta’s classes was that they greatly strengthened my relationship with my partner. She helped us to become so much more aware of what we were getting ourselves into and what we expected from each other. I regularly think back to some of the lessons I learned from Britta and how they changed the way we communicated on such a deep level. Britta, thank you so much for being my mentor!”

“Through the use of story, myth, ritual, masculine/feminine dynamics, and kinesthetic activities, Britta created the space for these couples to grow closer and more confident in their abilities to traverse the landscape of labor and parenthood together. Through the discovery of their own inner strength and authenticity, they were initiated, then transformed into empowered warriors prepared to take on the challenges of the unknown together. The knowledge which was already inside them was activated, and it became outwardly apparent that the tools and lessons from the weekend were more than simply childbirth preparation, but life changing rites of passage.”

“I took lots of childbirth classes and yours was the best. Britta, you are a master at what you do.”

“Everything we discussed and explored during class stuck with me and has had a deep impact on me as a woman and mother. I can honestly say that these classes changed my life and my life’s path and for that and Britta’s gentle, supportive, strong and insightful guidance, I am beyond grateful.”

“This might sound a little over the top…but taking Britta Bushnell’s birthing class series not only prepared me completely for the act of giving birth, it completely changed my life. It really brought so many unexpected things out into the open. Her classes helped me to realize what kind of parent I want to be, what kind of partner I want to be and most importantly, what kind of person I want to be. This was something I never expected to find in a birthing class.”

“Trying to find the words to express how significant an experience Britta’s class was for me and my husband, turns out, is way more difficult than the birth itself! To call her class transformative would be a grave understatement. Britta taught me how to be a birth warrior and I can honestly say, I used every. single. thing. I learned in her class during the birth process. I truly don’t know how I could have done it without her guidance and the strength of my fellow warrior mamas cheering me on in spirit.”

“Jeff and I both feel as if we have been able to work on solidifying the foundation not only of our impending parenthood, but of our relationship as a couple. What an incredibly special experience for us. Britta, you are an incredibly gifted and hard working teacher – you have such an unique way of allowing us to access the information using our own thoughts and analysis, and your intuitive sense of when to push and when to wait is truly special.”
