Meet Christine
Hi, I'm Christine Patrick, Certified Child Birth Coach
The skill of giving birth is diminishing in our culture. Christine possesses the personal experience, knowledge and education to teach this skill to you and your partner. At Learn 2 Birth this is accomplished through a combination of holistic methods, science and nutrition, thought and energy work, and knowledge of healthcare practices.
Learn 2 Birth Class Sylabus
Learn 2 Birth Classes focus on educating the partner to be able to nurture, relieve tension and stress and advocate for the mom throughout pregnancy and birth. Often times, the mom may feel alone in the education and preparation for birth. Learn 2 Birth classes are an engaging combination of relaxation practice, massage, role playing, videos, diagrams, and storytelling to ignite a passion in her partner for the beauty and art of birth. This is a 4 session course offered once a week in group or individual classes in the comfort of your home or mine.

What My Clients Say
“Christine’s class was invaluable in preparation for the birth of my first child. The lessons were thorough, well-paced, and custom-tailored to our needs. Christine paired her personal experience with research-based data to create an engaging and informative curriculum. I felt calm and in control for the entirety of my extremely intensive labor due to this class and can’t recommend enough!”
Kristen
“My husband and I loved Christine’s class. Her story telling and examples really helped. I really liked all the anatomy and relaxation practice. Our birth was amazing and I know it’s because we were so prepared.”
Jenny
“I took the class because my wife really wanted me to, I am so glad I did. I don’t know how I would have supported my wife without it. I had no idea what to expect but since taking Christine’s class I felt so prepared for all the twists and turns in our birth experience. This class made all the difference”
