LOCATION:Mothering Touch :: 975 Fort Street Victoria, V8V 3K2
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p>Our group Childbirth Preparation classes provide a comfortable and friendly atmosphere where parents-to-be can meet to collect and discuss information and prepare themselves for the journey ahead.&nbsp; Our courses are designed by trained and experienced childbirth educators who are also doulas and breastfeeding counsellors.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />The curriculum for all of our Prenatal Classes is based on the Lamaze Six Healthy Birth Practices. Topics are presented in a variety of ways, including discussion, hands-on practice, video, couple work and group work.<br /><br />This workshop is for clients who have chosen a midwife as their primary care provider.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; The model of care provided by midwives differs from that provided by doctors; we have found our clients&rsquo; needs and expectations to be best met by offering classes which focus on the model of care they will be receiving from their primary care provider.<br /><br /><strong>WORKSHOP OPTIONS</strong><br /><br /><strong>Two Full Saturdays</strong><br /><br />The two full-day Saturday workshop allows expectant parents to immerse themselves in the topic of birth in an intense but intimate format. This format might be suited to mothers and birth helpers who are busy in the evenings, who are out of town frequently or who cannot take the classes until late in pregnancy.<br /><br />9:30am to 4:30pm<br /><br />Sat, March 5 &amp; 12, 2016<br />Sat, April 16 &amp; 23, 2016<br />Saturday May 14 &amp; 21, 2016<br />Sat, June 25 &amp; July 2, 2016<br />Sat, July 23 &amp; 30, 2016<br />Sat, August 20 &amp; 27, 2016<br />Sat, August 17 &amp; 24, 2016<br /><br /><strong>Four Consecutive Sunday Afternoons</strong><br /><br />The 4-Sunday series is intended for parents who may have limited time to prepare for the arrival of their child, but who work on Saturdays. Some parents told us they wanted to come during the day &ndash; but not for the whole day &ndash; so we came up with this compromise!<br /><br />2:30pm to 5:30pm<br /><br />- Sun, June 26 to July 17, 2016<br />- Sun, September 11 to October 2, 2016<br /><br /><strong>Six Evenings</strong><br /><br />In the weeknight series of classes, the same group meets for six weeks in a row.&nbsp; This enables participants to get to know each other and provide each other with support through the last weeks of their pregnancies. <br /><br />7pm to 9pm<br /><br />- Wed, May 4 - June 8, 2016<br />- Mon, June 6 - July 11, 2016<br />- Wed, July 6 - August 10, 2016<br />- Wed, September 7 - October 12, 2016<br /><br />For more information and to register for this workshop, go to <a href="http://www.motheringtouch.ca/classes/choosing_childbirth_preparation/midwives_clients/">http://www.motheringtouch.ca/classes/choosing_childbirth_preparation/midwives_clients/</a></p>
