Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class

Get Empowered with tools and knowledge you can use!
"We went in knowing absolutely nothing about the pregnancy and birth process, and finished the class feeling fully prepared for the delivery and postpartum process. Mary Etna is extremely generous with her time and knowledge and we felt comfortable asking her any of our thousand questions, all of which she was ready to answer with insight from personal work experience and a deep understanding of existing research. ​
In response to concerns regarding the COVID-19 crisis, we are now offering a 100% online version of this class, with LIVE virtual mentorship and guidance.

​“I  had an absolutely positive experience with Mary Etna. She is incredibly knowledgeable about everything childbirth and postpartum related. I felt confident in making decisions at the hospital because I was well informed from my discussions with her...  I loved our birth classes -- I learned a tremendous amount and I was well informed going into labor because of the classes.”

"We   had such a great time taking this class! I looked and looked for a childbirth class that felt like it fit with our values and this one really was it! We are so thankful for this class, especially during covid, and we were so happy to have our weekly class and assignments as a way to prepare together for the arrival of our baby. We learned a lot of new and helpful information and we both also felt that the class helped us feel more positive and ready for the birthing experience. I feel so much more confident with our birth plan and post-partum plan because of this class. "

"Mary Etna and EBB are fantastic! Because of this class I was  mentally prepared and confident and had a successful VBAC! An incredibly proud moment for me!"

"EBB cuts through the noise of other people's opinions and the internet world presenting evidence based information so parents can decide what is best for their family. I never felt pressure to go any way. Truthfully, this class opened my opinions to birthing options that I was not open to before."
