Do you want to increase your confidence in the natural process of birth? Are you ready to experience birth’s transforming power with respect and dignity and in safety, support, and trust? Serving Rolla, Missouri and surrounding communities, Molly Remer is pleased to offer independent birthing classes. These childbirth classes will encourage you to respect birth as a rite of passage, a sacred and intimate life experience, and a creative endeavor.
I am certified with the International Childbirth Education Association (ICEA). ICEA’s motto is “freedom of choice based on knowledge of alternatives” and is based on a philosophy of family-centered maternity care. I am also certified by the Association of Labor Assistants and Childbirth Educators (now the International Birth and Wellness Project [IBWP]). ALACE/IBWP childbirth educators respect birth as a woman-centered and woman-directed passage, not an institution-centered medical event. Our goal is to help women reclaim trust in their bodies’ ability to safely and dependably give birth. In March 2010, I finished my certification with Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA). The motto of CAPPA is “education. support. success.” I very much connect with the CAPPA vision.
Encouraging confidence, strength, and joy in childbearing through evidence based information, experiential learning, and psychological and emotional preparation is one of my life’s greatest passions. Contact me to arrange your class series soon!
I have limited availability for classes at this time and am currently hosting classes in my own home, rather than at an alternate location in town.
My next series of classes begins Saturday, January 7, 2012 and will be held from 11-2:00 for three weeks. Two doulas-in-training will also be present as observers.
I will resume my single-session class offerings in March. If you are interested in signing up for a new class, please let me know. I prefer two weeks notice in order to prepare materials for the class.
