Comprehensive childbirth classes

Childbirth can be a joyous and magical experience, free of fear and trauma. Our goal is to provide birthing persons and their families with the resources and support needed to have empowered, autonomous, and beautiful births!

Group Class  

Peaceful Birth Company offers a 15-hour comprehensive childbirth course every seven weeks in Fort Collins, CO. Sessions are typically held on weekday evenings for 2.5 hours. The series is for you and your Birth Companion and can be taken at any point during your pregnancy.

In this comprehensive childbirth education program you will learn what questions you should be asking your provider at your prenatal visits, what to expect from the different stages of labor, coping measures, how to best prepare for a hospital/home birth, best practices and positions for optimal fetal positioning, a variety of laboring positions, how to best navigate any special circumstances should your labor venture off-course, advocacy, safety, and evidence-based practices for early newborn care and breastfeeding.

Classes are typically taught by Katy Iengo and Abby Shifriss. Katy brings a uniquely personal element to the class, as she used this knowledge and these methods in her own two births and has witnessed almost 500 client births. Abby, a former preschool teacher, specializes in calm meditation and provides a beautiful balance by honoring both science and nature in the birth space. Katy and Abby will prepare you for birth with honesty, humor, and a wealth of passion. You will leave this class with a renewed sense of calm, confidence, and excitement as you anticipate the birth of your baby. Typically open to a maximum of 10 families.

Private Class  

These classes provide the same information as the group classes, but are much more intimate and tailored specifically to your needs. They can be held in the comfort of your home, and can occur on whatever day and time that works best for both of us. These one-on-one classes provide more in-depth, unique sessions and can be used to prepare for a more individualized birthing experience.
