Village Birth and Motherhood Preparation offers childbirth education and birth doula services in Bartlesville, Oklahoma.  My classes are based on the Lamaze Six Healthy Birth Practices, and provide practical information for any woman, regardless of your birth preferences.  Village Birth is determined to provide evidence-based information about birth, breastfeeding, newborn-care, and the postpartum period.  Regardless of whether you want an unmedicated birth or not, I can offer you practical relaxation and coping tips for the labor process, and teach you the positions you need to work with your body in labor, and empower you to make the decisions that are right for your birth.

Classes are taught by Nicki Ingram, a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator, Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and trained birth Doula (read about Nicki).
