Your labor, delivery, and postpartum time will not go exactly according to your plan. We want to support you in being in control of your experience and to feel prepared for the different ways your birth can unfold.

our perspective

At Intrinsic Birth, we view birth as a life transition for the whole family, as opposed to an individual medical event.

Our professional experience in education and nursing has centered around inclusive, science-based practices, and labor support. You will find our classes and educational materials to have an evidence-based approach and a gentle openness that encourages questions and diverse perspectives.

We provide a structured space for birthing persons and their birth partners to explore and uncover physical and emotional support techniques that can be used throughout the labor, delivery, and postpartum phases.
