Classes are 4 weeks long, 3 hours each and are based on the book Birthing From Within, the prenatal bestseller by Pam England.

The philosophy behind these special childbirth preparation classes.
according to England, there are seven beliefs of women who "birth from within":

*Pregnancy and birth is a rite of passage, not a medical event (even when birthing in a hospital).
*Connecting with other mothers and women for support and guidance is an essential part of preparation for birth and mothering.
*The power to birth comes from within them, from their strong bodies and their commitment to do whatever it takes to birth their child.
*Primitive self-expression, including making noise and losing control, are a natural part of birth (and "looking good" isn't).
*Protecting their birth space so that it is conducive to birth (quiet, dimly lit, warm and private) is critically important to how their birth will unfold.
*For Western women, birthing from within requires preparation and practice during pregnancy.
