Get that Baby Out! Is a 3 hour workshop in the privacy of your own home that will provide you with the skills and information your need to have an efficient labor. Taught by Melinda Ferguson, a seasoned birth worker and educator of 19 years.
I’m here to help with birth planning, addressing fears, pain coping & decision making. I provide non-judgmental, compassionate support for expectant parents throughout pregnancy, birth and into parenthood.
