What: This Childbirth Education series, taught by a midwife, specifically to families planning out-of-hospital births, is a wonderful way to learn everything you need to from childbirth education through the lens of midwifery care. As someone who experienced both a homebirth transfer and a subsequent HBAC, Morgan joyfully brings her birthing experiences and years of midwifery practice to this class.

What: An experience of connecting deeply with yourself and others who are pregnant and due in the same season. This offering spans the course of three months with five in-person meetings.

I’ll offer prompts each week to deepen our work together and host ‘Ask a Midwife’ chats for you to bring questions relevant to pregnancy, birth & postpartum.
