Ice Journey     Birth Preparation Workshop

The NEW "Birth Preparation Workshop Retreat" at Ocean Shores!











 
For those of you who have previously attended a childbirth preparation class or,
who prefer to take the fast track to your labor and birth preparation consider
registering for the "Labor Tools and Techniques Workshop".

If you are expecting your first baby, it is highly recommended that you attend
the 2-day Birth Preparation Workshop which includes the "Ice Journey".

Both workshops provide you with a wonderful opportunity to
"hang out" with other expectant parents and to make new friends!

Feedback from couples who have participated in the "Ice Journey"

The "Ice Journey" has generated a lot of interest from people who have viewed my website. 
It is very difficult to fully explain the experience ... it truly is something you need to witness and
experience in person.  There is no script, but rather my narration during the "Ice Journey" flows
from what I learn about the expectant parents in the initial stages of the childbirth class
regarding their fears, concerns, worries, needs, preferences, personalities, relationships, etc.
Basically, it is a very realistic and heartfelt labor simulation that goes above and beyond
just focusing on contractions. We go to a much deeper level that involves the emotional,
mental, spiritual as well as the physical power and influence of the birthing experience
with an emphasis on nurturing and strengthening their "couple" relationship.
