Childbirth Education hosted by Autumn Tattenhan, CD, CLC, NCS & Cori Gentry

Parents can expect us to discuss the importance of taking a childbirth class of their choice that isn't hospital-based, what they should look for in a childbirth class, the different styles of classes, and the various options that are available to them locally, with a resource list handout included, as well as a quick fact sheet. We also plan to talk a little about what each of us does and how they can look beyond just a childbirth class to prepare themselves for birth and prepare their village to support them through this time.

Autumn Bessire Tattenham is a certified fertility coach, a birth and postpartum doula, INA- and CACHE-credentialed newborn care specialist, certified lactation counselor, and Evidence Based Birth® Instructor with decades of experience in perinatal care.
