Detailed Course Description

Kopa Birth classes use an integrative approach to childbirth. The combination of coping skills presented during class – mindfulness techniques, meditation techniques, breathing techniques, movement and labor positions, and pressure/massage techniques – equip women and partners to confidently approach and move through labor. The goal for each class is to provide a rich toolbox so women and their birth partners may work together to achieve an empowered and positive birthing experience.
