I am honored to be a Lamaze International Childbirth Educator, teaching the original natural childbirth method for wherever you are in the U.S.
Why childbirth classes?
It has been found that taking childbirth classes facilitates:
- Increased communication of overall health decisions
- Better communication with partner
- Better relaxation and stress management skills
- Healthier lifestyle behaviors
- Increased birth satisfaction, even when the birth didn’t go as hoped
- Feeling more prepared for a second or subsequent delivery when the previous birth was upsetting
“I truly cannot say enough good things about Marcie and Precious Arrows Birthing. Thanks to the lessons and support Marcie provided me I was knowledgeable, confident, and comfortable going into labor and was able to have the completely unmedicated birth of a 9lbs4oz baby boy that I wanted.” Lindsey
