Workshops
Labor with Love: Using Yoga, Positioning and Partner Support to Enhance Your Birth
Offered also as a small group private, or individual private sessions. Email me (savoritstudiosatgmaildotcom) to learn more, and inquire about price.
This labor preparation intensive will give you the tools you need to enter your birth feeling equipped and empowered. Topics will include a discussion of the stages of labor, optimal positioning, hands-on partner positions to prepare the pelvis leading up to labor, and key positions to use during labor. This is a great workshop for those that want the essential basics and want to involve their partners, but have limited time to commit to preparation, or for a refresher if you've already given birth!
Thoughts from past attendees....
"Hi Michelle - just wanted to thank you again for all of your great information and personal touch to our class yesterday! My husband and I went through the different poses last night, and though we're still taking that additional Susan Messina {Birthworks} class, I really feel greatly informed and all the more prepared from your class! You also created such a great general feel to the whole class, and I just loved being there to learn more about the birth process together. Thank you!"

It's hard not to feel good around her."
