We are very pleased to announce that birth and postpartum doula and Lamaze-certified childbirth educator Shara Frederick is now teaching childbirth education at our Clementine Midwifery space. For her current schedule and registration information, please visit her website at www.sharafrederick.com.
At Clementine we strongly urge our clients and their support people to attend childbirth education classes. These classes provide women with the information they need to be prepared for the adventure of birth. Additionally, by allowing women and their partners to feel comfortable with normal labor and birth, and to gain an understanding of the physical changes that occur in pregnancy, women become confident and empowered to take on the challenges of childbirth.
We recommend the following childbirth educators:
