The Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class

Offers a hybrid model of education. You watch modules at home, on your own time. BUT, we meet by Zoom once a week to keep you accountable for completing the material and in a timely manner! Focuses on:

  1. Evidence Based Care - What’s the most current evidence?

  2. Advocacy - How you/your partner can ask for what you want.

  3. Comfort - Medical and non-medical options for comfort in labor

Knowledge is power.

A message from Scarlett Lynsky, your Evidence Based Birth® Instructor:

When I gave birth for the first time, I was young and naive. Like most people, I sort of stumbled into the care provider I chose, but unlike most, I stumbled into respectful, compassionate, evidence-based care from a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM).

My birth was exhilarating! Even though my body felt pretty beat up, I had never felt more powerful in my life. As I gathered stories from more and more friends and acquaintances, I realized that my positive birth story was the exception not the norm, which broke–and still breaks!–my heart. 

As a birth doula for the past 15 years, I see how doctors, nurses and midwives have the best intentions, but are often limited by the flaws in the maternity care system and take power away from the person giving birth in small and large ways.  You deserve to have an empowering start to parenthood, and I’m here to help you learn how to work that system to your advantage.

Listen to what some my students of the Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class have had to say: 

Hi, my name is Skylar and I just finished the Evidence Based Birth® Class! For those of you who are thinking about taking this class, I would say: this is a good option if you want to be empowered with knowledge about the hospital system, the choices you might face during labor, and your many options for coping with the challenges of labor and having a birth that you feel good about. I feel very well-equipped and prepared for my baby's birth. Although I still want to keep practicing my comfort measures and refining what we really want in our birth plan, I also feel ready to handle whatever happens and that I have been prepared with all the knowledge I need to do so.”
