About Our Birthing Classes
You DO have a choice when it comes to birthing classes! Forget boring "canned" curriculum taught in uncomfortable hospital classrooms! At NiNi you'll sit on our comfy leather couches, put your feet up and relax with gourmet coffees and teas, and some healthy snacks. There are no scary movies to watch, instead we have tasteful photos of real birth stories, taken at area hospitals. Our classes are innovative and informative, and our certified instructors are enthusiastic and supportive. We have an Empathy Belly so that partners can experience just what it feels like to be pregnant, and we'll snap a photo of the two of you, belly-to-belly for your baby book! You'll receive a gift bag with massage tools for your labor, and a relaxation CD. Comfort Strategies is incorporated into our curriculum, and we'll help you develop your own plan for labor and birth. Our independent classes prepare you to birth in any area hospital or birthing center.
Choose from the class options listed below. You can register for any of our classes online, and we strongly encourage you to register early to get your choice of class times and format. Please plan to complete your class before your 34th week of pregnancy ... just in case your little one plans an early arrival!

Preparing To Birth

Our Certified Childbirth Educators have years of labor experience to help you get ready for your unique labor and birth. We'll talk, teach, and listen in an informal and supportive way, and help expectant mothers and their partners breathe a sigh of relief about their upcoming birth. You'll learn about labor and birth, comfort strategies, coping techniques, breathing and relaxation.

Birth Made Easier with Hypnosis
Women who use hypnosis for labor and birth are not asleep or in a trance, but are, instead, in a deep state of relaxation which allows their labor to be more comfortable and their overall birthing experience to be more peaceful. Our instructors are Certified Childbirth Educators who are also Clinical Hypnotherapists. We teach deep relaxation techniques that encourage women to use the power of their natural instincts. This class is helpful for all women, whether you're planning an un-medicated birth, or just want some tools to help you to relax during early labor... and it's a great way for partners to learn to de-stress! This class includes three CD's of hypnosis exercises to listen to at home. We recommend starting Birth Made Easier with Hypnosis at around 20 - 24 weeks of pregnancy, to give you time to practice relaxation techniques.

Fit To Deliver - Prenatal Fitness Class
The Fit To Deliver program was developed in 2000 in response to a lack of information available to expectant mothers on exercise and pregnancy. The first prenatal fitness program developed by a physician, personal trainers and a physical therapist, Fit To Deliver is based on the belief that women can and should remain active during pregnancy.
