Amanda M. Mayther

Certified Biodynamic Childbirth Educator

Biodynamic Childbirth is a wellness-based and holistic approach to labor and birth that focuses on using the least amount of intervention neccessary to maintain the wellbeing of both mother and baby. This modality of childbirth preparation encourages the birthing woman to be in the driver's seat of her own birth experience. Mamas and their partners learn and create their own "birth toolkit" of comfort techniques and coping strategies to naturally encourage the production of the hormones that will enhance the labor process and result in a more comfortable, positive, and empowering birth experience.

I believe that every woman should have the birth she desires, whether it be at home, in a birth center, or in the hospital, and biodynamic techniques and philosophies can be used in any setting. When empowered, informed and prepared, it is possible to have a biodynamic birth anywhere, even if medical intervention is necessary.  It is important for you to feel safe and confident in your birthing environment and with the people surrounding and supporting you.

It is also very important for birth partners to feel well-prepared and confident in their abilities to support their birthing mamas both physically and emotionally throughout the birthing time. My goal is to help women and their partners to have the most biodynamic birth possible by sharing the knowledge and tools I have gained through my life experiences and formal training. Giving birth is a normal, natural, challenging, and magical life event that will have a profound effect on yur family. Childbirth education empowers you with information to make informed choices regarding your care during this important time and increases your trust in your body's own primal and innate ability to bring your baby into this world in the way you desire. My childbirth and postpartum classes will reduce your fear and anxiety surrounding birth and increas your confidence as you approach parenthood.
