care during pregnancy. It keeps mom feeling good and assists her in
copying with the physical stresses of an ever changing body. Many women

Women should have regular care especially when pregnant even if they are not suffering from any symptomology to gain overall optimal health. Conditions pregnant women do enter the office for are: back pain, sciatica, leg cramps, fatigue, carpal tunnel syndrome, breech presentation to name a few.

are 8-12 weeks in length on natural childbirth. It is our belief that
most women with proper education, preparation and the help of a loving

natural childbirth classes teach the mother and coach to work together
as a team to achieve a safe, healthy, natural birth that they prepare
and plan for. This is your birth! The couples are taught how to stay
low risk and healthy. Relaxation is the key to this method of natural
childbirth during labor. Women are taught to trust and work with their
body while coaches support and become an active vital part of the
pregnancy, labor and delivery. This is so everyone can welcome this new
precious life into their lives.
