"There is a secret in our culture and it's not that birth is painful....it's that women are strong."

~ Laura Stavoe

Mother's Circle offers a six-week series of Empowered Childbirth Classes that focus on natural childbirth. The course also includes postpartum care including breastfeeding and caring for your newborn. The classes are currently held on Tuesday evenings from 7 p.m. to 9:15 p.m.
