GentleBirth Workshops


2024 classes now open for enrollment!


GentleBirth Workshops are a unique, effective, and engaging way to prepare for the birth of your baby. While many childbirth education programs simply offer information about the process of childbirth, GentleBirth combines both birth science and brain science to provide parents with both helpful information AND evidence-based preparation for the marathon of labor.

As an experienced educator and birth doula, Brenda Baar, CD(DONA), GBCE offers engaging, comprehensive, and thoughtful instruction infused with stories and examples from real-life birth experiences. You and your partner will leave more knowledgeable, feeling confident and empowered about meeting the challenge of labor and birth.

GentleBirth Workshops include:

  • Mindfulness and Focus Training

  • Sports Psychology

  • Brain training for a positive mindset

  • Hypnosis

  • Hormones and Physiology of Birth

  • Comfort and Relaxation Techniques

  • Evidence-Based Care

  • Informed Decision Making

  • Skills for the Birth Partner

  • and more
