Welcome to One With Child

Why take my Childbirth Education Class?

One With Child is a comprehensive 3 Week Childbirth Class designed for those seeking a positive birth experience. The series is taught in Brentwood, Los Angeles, at Origin PT. Together, we learn how to prepare for birth, physically, mentally & emotionally. Through the process, you will be empowered by learning comfort & coping skills, breathing, and movement. Your partners will also learn how to prepare for labor and feel more confident. In my childbirth classes, you’ll also learn various Spinning Babies ® techniques to enhance your comfort during pregnancy and assist your baby in navigating through the pelvis during labor. Understanding that each experience is unique, we discuss commonly suggested interventions. We also discuss making informed decisions based on evidence and, most importantly, celebrating your values and preferences. With 22 years of experience as a Certified Childbirth Educator and 12 years as a birth doula, I aim to reduce the fear or anxiety you may experience through pregnancy and the birthing process and finish class feeling empowered and ready! I will provide all the necessary tools to build your confidence, with an emphasis on strengthening your connection with your baby.

 

Spinning Babies® Parent Class

Take advantage of this private class for expectant parents from the only Spinning Babies ® Certified Parent Educator in Los Angeles!

Not your usual childbirth class! Spinning Babies ® Parent Class shows you what to do for an easier birth with practical and detailed preparation to help baby find the best position to fit into the pelvis and solutions when labor seems long and painful. or has a stall. If practiced daily, easier labor and birth are likely.

 

Why have a Birth Doula?

Having support from a doula, a childbirth educator and a mom who understands the birth process is pretty awesome! I have such fond memories of conversations with my doula. As your doula I provide continuous emotional and physical support to you and your husband/partner during labor, birth and early postpartum. I listen to your needs, support your choices and keep you on track. Being an Evidence Based Birth ® Emeritus Instructor, I am able to explain the details of any interventions that the doctor or nurse may be suggesting and help you advocate your preferences.  As your doula I don’t replace your husband/partner but am there to enhance the experience and allow him/her to enjoy it without all the pressure.

GetFit BeFit StayFit

Being a former dancer and now a competitive athlete, I know what it takes to get ready for the marathon of labor! My sessions are fun, educational, and motivational. You will feel great after each session. Being fit and staying fit during pregnancy will also help you shed those pounds more quickly after the baby is born. Let me help you get in shape for pregnancy, stay in shape during pregnancy, and get back in shape after the baby. I train my clients at a private gym located in Los Angeles, CA.
