Silver Creek Birth Class
In person, inclusive, evidence-based and holistic childbirth education offered in the heart of Silverton, Oregon!
Register your spot here!
In collaboration with Silver Falls Family Support and Compass Perinatal Family and Community Support, we are very proud to be offering FREE childbirth classes to families in the Marion-Polk area on a monthly basis.
Each month, we offer a power-packed, interactive day learning about the pregnant body, what to expect during labor, how to build a coping mindset, and how to build advocacy skills to achieve your own unique birth goals.
Great for first time parents, families seeking a solid refresher, or for those who desire a completely different experience from one you had before.
Our class will begin at 9:00am and last until 4:00pm, with an hour-long lunch break in the middle, giving you the perfect opportunity to soak up the energy of downtown Silverton while you go to lunch on your own with your support people. You could even make a lovely “babymoon” out of the weekend!
Mats, birth balls, and all learning materials provided. All you need to do is bring yourself, your water bottle, a support person if you have one, and a desire to learn more about what your amazing body is about to do.
A note on inclusivity: Our goal as childbirth educators is to facilitate a learning space that is safe, supportive, and informative for all people preparing to give birth. We designed this class specifically with LGTBQIA+ individuals in mind, and all workshop participants must agree to maintain a respectful and affirming environment for one another.
Upcoming class dates (choose one)
FREE for individuals in the Marion-Polk County Region*
*Free Class/Pricing Info:
We believe in accessible childbirth education for all. That's why we're partnering with Willamette Health Council to offer free classes to families in our community this year! We have space for five to eight pregnant folks (plus your support person) in each of our classes. The majority of these spaces this year are reserved for individuals who reside in the Marion-Polk region and cannot afford our regular registration fee ($207 for one-day birth class) - this class is FREE to you and you are our priority!
If space allows we are also welcoming donations from those who are interested in attending but may live outside of the Marion-Polk Region and/or are able to pay a class fee. We will gladly accept your paid registration with a donation to our non-profit, Compass Perinatal Family & Community Support. Your donation will help support future childbirth educational offerings in our community!
