UPCOUNTRY CHILDBIRTH RETREAT 10:00am - 4:30pm (lunch break mid-day)
Maui's most comprehensive childbirth preparation course. This one day workshop will provide training in both the Lamaze and Bradley birthing techniques. You will learn how to develop these techniques at home and have a thorough understanding of the birthing process and the many choices you can make to make your birth a satisfying "family-centered" experience. Your labor partner plays an important role in your birth and will also learn how they can contribute to the laboring mother's comfort and take an active role in the birth of their baby. If you are planning a natural birth, this class is the one! Complete training packet provided.
