(Although, I do offer private one time sessions for parents that feel like they just need a little more help.)\u00a0 The group explores the information when they are ready.\u00a0 These classes are governed by you!\u00a0 The material delivered in class is interactive and my focus is on PARTNER CONNECTION (don\u2019t have a partner? Bring a friend or not!\u00a0 Just come and explore you!)\u00a0 I aim to create a safe environment for you and your partner to create a setting that works for you, helping you to move into labour feeling like a team and offering realistic support.\u00a0 If you truly engage in Pam England\u2019s (author of Birthing From Within) teachings you will be more likely able to transform with grace and ease.\u00a0 Would like to get a better sense of Birthing From Within\u2019s model to see if it is the one for you?\u00a0 Then I would encourage you to visit the website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.birthingfromwithin.com\">www.birthingfromwithin.com<\/a> or better yet, buy the book.\u00a0 Whether you are planning a home birth or hospital birth BFW will help give you the tools to birth in awareness no matter which road your birth goes down, perhaps it would be the exact opposite road then you were hoping for or maybe you will have to compromise slightly but we rarely get the experience that we fantasize about.\u00a0 In BFW classes I cover things like, stages of labour,\u00a0 lots of pain coping techniques, ceserean birth, compassionate use of epidurals, lots of massage (as I am also a massage therapist), intimacy and positioning.<\/p>\n<p>Giving birth is a life altering experience!\u00a0 Are you prepared?\u00a0 If you would like to feel more prepared please contact me and let\u2019s see if we can\u2019t help you find a way to Birth From Within.\u00a0 <a href=\"mailto:jen@moretolifekingston.com\">jen@moretolifekingston.com<\/a>.\u00a0 You can also visit my website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moretolifekingston.com\">www.moretolifekingston.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I hope to see you soon as you prepare for the unknown and your upcoming birth.\u00a0 Please understand I strive to accept everyone without judgment so the environment is ripe to explore whatever it is you need to explore at any given moment.<\/p>\n<p>Warmly,<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer (Clarke) Gargaro RMT\/ Mentor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello All!
