My husband and I took a series of five birthing classes with Janice, who owns Peaceful Birthing. While the classes are based off of HypnoBirthing, don’t let the idea of hypnosis scare you away. These classes were awesome and helped us to get through a long labor without the use of drugs or unnecessary medical intervention. Jan has a lot of experience with birthing and is also a certified doula, so she is a great instructor. In addition, she has great patience and is more than willing to take time with her clients. If you’re looking for a birth education class, skip whatever the hospital offers and take one through Peaceful Birthing.
