LOCAL CLASS - birth scarfs
What this class is about: A birth scarf (often called a rebozo) is a shawl-like long piece of fabric that can be used for birth. This class will teach you how to use fabric to support labor and delivery as well as ways you can use it during pregnancy. It’s a hands-on class where we will discuss over 30 methods, I will demonstrate, and then each couple will have time to practice.
Class outline and curriculum:
There is a workbook that goes along with this class. The workbook is free. Please download it through the blog here and consider printing it for class.
Why take it: This is a fun class with a practical purpose. You can use a birth scarf throughout pregnancy, during labor and even delivery, as well as a few postpartum uses. If it can bring you comfort, it’s worth learning about.
Who it’s open to: This is for pregnant women at least 20 weeks along, preferably in their third trimester. For this class, you do need a support person as many of the techniques take two. If you do not have a spouse/partner, you are welcome to bring a friend for this class.
What to wear: This class is very hands-on. We will be standing, kneeling, and squatting. Wear something flexible. If you want, you can bring a blanket for added modesty.
What to bring: You don’t have to bring anything for this class. I recommend printing the workbook and bringing that with you in a binder. If you have your own birth scarf, bring it. You can also bring an alternative such as a sheet to practice with. The teacher will have a birth scarf to demonstrate with and allow everyone to use.
Where class is: This class is available in person in the Dayton, Ohio area. Service area is based on county. See the Classes I teach page for more information. All classes are in-home unless a student can host at their church or other public location (in public is preferred if able).
When: All classes are by appointment only.
Cost: Private classes are $60. Group classes are $30 per couple.
How to schedule: Email me via the contact button below. Before scheduling any in-home private classes, I do meet in a public location for safety reasons. In that meeting, we will customize the class outline and do payment. For public classes, email me to sign up and receive an invoice via Paypal. Once payment is complete, you will receive an email confirming your spot in the class along with the date and time.
