About Us:

Stork and Cradle mixes holistic and integrative ingredients into our class recipes serving multi-sensory and interactive techniques that will inspire you to develop a pain coping mindset and prepare for your journey into parenthood. After taking these classes, you will feel more confident and empowered-ready for your task of motherhood and fatherhood.

Our classes prepare mothers and birth partners to help keep birth as normal as possible, even if medical care and technology are used. Stork and Cradle believes women already know a lot about birth and mothering. Being able to tap into that inner knowing and begin to trust oneself is the foundation to give birth safely and confidently at home, in the hospital, or in a birthing center.
