Exciting News: Prenatal Classes in Collingwood!
New prenatal and childbirth preparation classes are being held for expectant parents in Collingwood; two Tuesday evenings per month at the Wild Baby store on Simcoe St. Classes are facilitated by and led by our founding Doula in the Blue Mountains, Leah Jackson, PDCCE (ProDoula Certified Childbirth Educator) in collaboration with full-spectrum doula Lauren Mackenzie of Stayner. It is thanks to Wild Baby’s generous contribution of their store space after-hours that Leah and Lauren are able to host these prenatal workshops in Collingwood at an affordable cost of $20 +HST per class. We also offer a gift of a $20 Wild Baby gift card or a mini-maternity photoshoot with Leah if an expectant parent signs up for at least 3 prenatal classes.
What to expect :
Our 90-minute prenatal class workshops are expected to be intimate, with a maximum of 8 participants per class. As an evening class, it will be relaxed, informative, and hopefully set participants up for a well deserved good sleep! Included in each of our prenatal workshops is education on a topic related to pregnancy, birth, or postpartum, a short gentle prenatal yoga session, guided meditation, a self-inquiry journaling prompts, and Q&A with childbirth experts Leah and Lauren!
Each participant is asked to bring their own mat, journal/notebook and pen, and water bottle.
Who is this class for :
Any pregnant individual is welcome, at any stage of pregnancy. We aim to create an accessible and safe environment for any pregnant folk who wishes to participate. Let us know if you have any specific concerns, accessibility requirements, or health/medical issues that may affect your birth/prenatal care. We support pregnant people who are expecting singletons or multiples, who wish to birth in home or in hospital, and who have a variety of needs and wishes. Upon registering for our prenatal classes, participants are required to answer a few questions on our intake form so we can customize our classes to address any specific needs and preferences.
