Couples Birthing Intensive
Ideal as a refresher course, or as a last-minute preparation when your due date is right around the corner! You’ll hear directly from a doula who’s attended hundreds of births about what is helpful in labor--and what may hinder it. From what to eat, drink, how to breathe, how to meditate, and how to move, this class goes beyond the traditional hospital-based childbirth education class.
HypnoBirthing
HypnoBirthing ™ is a complete childbirth education course that embraces birth as a normal, natural, and exciting event for families. You and your chosen companion will learn relaxation, visualization, and self-hypnosis techniques that help the body birth in a calm and comfortable way.
Enlightened Mama Lamaze
Enlightened Mama Lamaze Childbirth Preparation classes provide in-depth, evidence-based information about pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum, all in a fun, relaxed environment.
Belly Casting
Create a keepsake cast of your beautiful pregnant belly! Pregnancy is such a miraculous and precious time. What better way to celebrate new life than to preserve the beautiful belly that nurtured it! A belly cast is literally a plaster cast of your pregnant belly
Mother Blessing
This baby shower alternative is catching on in popularity as more women wish to simply celebrate the joys of becoming a mother. A Blessing Way is a rite of passage for mothers who are expecting, inspired by Navajo tradition. It is performed late in the pregnancy and gives the mother not only strength, but also a rich, deeply spiritual connection to the birthing process.
Infant CPR, Choking & Basic First Aid
Do you know what to do if your child started choking? Are you comfortable with performing basic first aid until professional help arrives? Learn the answers to these questions and more in this course! Topics include infant CPR and choking, preventing childhood injuries and learning how to respond to basic first aid emergencies.
Enlightened Baby: Clean, Cloth & Carry
In this workshop, we'll cover cloth diapering, babywearing, and natural baby care. Enlightened Baby offers information and demonstrations to promote health, happiness, and bonding with your baby. Workshop is open to mamas, partners, and babies.
Childbirth Collective Parent Topic Night
Parent Topic Nights are free, fun, informal volunteer-run presentations of information that is not generally available to birthing parents anywhere else in such a format.
Enlightened Mama Breastfeeding: The first months and beyond
You've made the incredible decision to breastfeed your baby, but what now?
In this workshop, we'll cover getting breastfeeding established, how to incorporate breastfeeding into your work and social life, how things change as baby grows, the weaning process, and common problems.
Vaginal Birth After Cesarean
Join VBAC mama and Blooma staff member, Anne Gustin, and super-doula Judith Nylander, for an in-depth and candid discussion about cesarean prevention and Vaginal Birth After Cesarean options. This workshop will cover information and resources on healing from a cesarean birth, preparing for a VBAC and uncovering your options for future births. We will dispel the myths and explore the facts on VBAC while helping you to determine the right path for your next birth.
