At GGDA, we feel that it's important to create a "Village" to support you through your birth. We have a variety of classes, workshops and clinics available for our clients to choose from. Most of the events are included in your package when you signed up with your doula and will be available to you for 6 months after you give birth. Thank you for trusting us to support you during this special time!

This program allows couples to be prepared for whatever their birth looks like. It is not about having a natural birth; it is about owning and being active participants in your births. Parents and babies deserve a gentle and calm birth experience; it is such a crucial transitioning experience for both parents and babies. Learning practical techniques to relax and assist your body in doing what it knows more effectively and comfortably leads to shorter labors and easier births. Supporting a positive approach to pregnancy and birth helps parents feel more relaxed, confident, and content. The daily practice of relaxation techniques helps you break from your daily routine, lower your stress levels, and most importantly, connect with your baby.

During this 6 week class series, you will learn simple breathing techniques, guided and self-relaxation, visualization, healthy habits, explore your birth options and preferences, and the latest neuroscience research to help you achieve a normal, calm, and more comfortable pregnancy and birth.

If you want to sign up for the next series or want to learn more, please reach out to Alicia Contreras. There are limited spots available for the in-person series and the zoom series. Each series is composed of 6 weekly classes of 2.5 hours per class.
