CMC Childbirth Classes
Informed and Intuitive Preparation for Parents… a series of five 3-hour classes
Our childbirth classes designed for parents choosing to deliver at home or in a birth center. Birthing is unique, unpredictable, and intensely personal. Our curricula honors this reality by helping you become informed and in touch with your own intuition; it prepares you to be in sync with your partner, doula, and midwife, and prepares you for the best birth possible.
Hire a Birth Doula
At Canyon Medical Center, there are a team of doulas available for hire. Canyon Doulas see birth as a powerful, transformative event, and one that benefits from comprehensive care and loving attention.
We provide:
❖ Support during labor, birth and immediate postpartum
❖ Comfort, guidance & support for you and your partner
❖ Help with positions and techniques that make for an easier and shorter labor
❖ Premium and Economy Packages available.
For additional information, please read the FAQs below or feel free to email the doula team.
If I have a midwife, what would I get from a doula?
Your midwife focuses on clinical care; your doula focuses on your coping, your emotional and physical well-being, and complements your midwife with suggestions, ideas, and unbiased information. Since your doula is with you more continuously, she can give more hands-on massage, suggestions and reassurance than your midwives alone can provide.
If I have a doula, will that feel like too many people?
Not at all. We respect your space, create a sense of safety, and we step forward or back as your needs change. We also relieve pressure on the partner and offer them cues on how to be the best support.
