"There is no place for ideology in birthing. Each birth has its own story and we must respond to what the baby tells us."
- Gail Tully of Spinning Babies
Eugene Childbirth Classes that equip you for a better birth.
Birth Informed Childbirth Class taught by Tiffany Grantom provides a comprehensive, engaging, evidence-based preparation for labor, birth, and early parenting. Using a wide variety of teaching methods and activities, the aim is to help you and your partner identify your needs and desires and empower you to make informed decisions. While many of the mothers who choose to take this class are preparing for an unmedicated birth, this is not a “natural childbirth class”. This is a class that helps you understand the process of labor and helps you develop skills and understanding to work through the process.
These skills include labor coping skills, as well as decision-making tools, mental frameworks, and personal reflection on your own best ways of coping and communicating. We address all birthing environments (home, hospital, or birth center), and typical practices of care providers (nurses, midwives, or doctors) according to the birthing locations of the couples in the class.
Wherever you may be giving birth, and whatever choices you may make in that process.
Empowered with knowledge, communication tools, and coping skills, you will walk away with the confidence that you are equipped for your birth. Join us in person or via Zoom, and prepare to Birth Informed!

Discover Spinning Babies®
The Spinning Babies® Parent Class approaches birth from the unique paradigm of baby’s journey through soft tissue and the bony pelvis. Baby has their own job in the process of birth - to descend and rotate through the pelvis, Spinning Babies® Parent Class helps you to facilitate balance, movement, and gravity within your body to make room for your baby.
This one-time, 3-hour class is in addition to standard childbirth education and can help you to find comfort and ease in pregnancy and birth.
