Prenatal Support

These are connections to members of our community who want to help and support you in preparing for the newest addition to your family.

Childbirth Classes

  • Embodied Birth Class

    • A single-weekend virtual online childbirth course based out of Athens and taught by certified professional midwife Ash Dasuqi. It gives pregnant people and support persons the knowledge they need to increase their likelihood of having a safe, healthy, and connecting birth. The trauma-informed, gender-affirming class gives people skills to engage the persistent fears that may impede smooth birthing. It covers all the birth process anatomy and essentials, and provides valuable skills for pain management, chest/breastfeeding, nutrition, somatic/body-based preparation, advocating for preferences with providers, and attachment & parenting techniques.
