Our classes do not use Lamaze or Bradley techniques, although both have many good points to offer.  We prefer to use our own brand of natural birth teaching, along with many of the techniques used in the book titled: “Birthing From Within,” by Pam England.

For more information call the BIRTH WORKS office (501-663-2850).

“The birthing class was excellent!  We took one prior to BIRTH WORKS classes, at the hospital, and there was just no comparison.  The BIRTH WORKS class was true therapy for us each week!  Chris and I learned so much.  Thank you for helping us in shaping such an incredible, life changing, positive experience.” 

Joy and Chris DeClerk

“Even though I had 2 previous (hospital) births, I learned so much from BIRTH WORKS.  Patience and how to listen to my own body were the most important things I ever learned.”
