Birthing is the most profound initiation to spirituality that a woman can have.

Childbirth Education and Relaxation Group Class
So much of peaceful birthing is about TRUST! Trust in your body, in your birth team, and in your safe birthing space. This course is designed to grow trust so that you are prepared to experience birth with layers of peace and more joy. The ripple effect of a calm birth is wide reaching.
"I was feeling very nervous and uncertain about giving birth. The conversations and resources shared by Fehlya really helped me shift my thinking to what I am going to love about the experience of labor." - Kate, RN
Classes are designed with those planning for a home birth or birth center delivery in mind. All birth plans are welcome. The information, self-exploration, and skills practices are designed to help guide you to your unique, confident birth experience. Movement, imagery, singing, and other activities are evidence based strategies for a more pleasurable birth and postpartum. If you have a small group looking for a class instructor, or you’d like to form a new class (Sundays work best), please reach out.
From Birthing From Within:
“In the last, most intense hours of labor, I had unexpectedly become mindless, floating in boundless empty space between contractions, unoccupied by any thoughts whatsoever. This timeless bliss was regularly pierced by sharp pain reminding me that my head was still attached to a body! But in between contractions, my mind would simply float away. Near the end of labor, my ego mental chatter and birth plans all receded into the activity of birth. My thinking-mind plummeted into an immense silence in which I felt bathed in love and well-being. It was then, for an unforgettable moment, that I felt a oneness with all mothers who had ever given birth, and to all mothers all over the world who were laboring and giving birth with me that night. For a fleeting moment, I saw all of us reaching deep inside for strength to break through the mental and physical limitations, which we had assumed to exist. No longer feeling isolated, I noticed a surge of compassion and vigor. It seemed that my effort was in some way helping others through labor, and their effort was helping me. In giving birth I had become a link in the eternal chain of mothers. This profound sense of connection with other women was a turning point.”
