CLASSES
empower yourself through knowledge
Our classes are designed to guide parents to prepare their mind, body and soul for the challenges, triumphs and personal transformations that the birth of a baby brings. This series of classes are well balanced between evidence-based, physiology of birth and the inner exploration of becoming parents. Puerta del Sol firmly believes when parents are well informed, they are empowered to make the best decisions about their birth and reducing the chances of possible traumas.
Our curriculum may vary slightly according to the needs of each class, but our weekly curriculum looks like this:
Breastfeeding Class
Breastfeeding can be a wonderful and rewarding experience, but it can also be challenging for first-time parents. Breastfeeding is a natural process, but it is also a learned skill. Join us to help you succeed!
Childbirth Class
Demystifying the stages of labor. Understanding physiological birth. Exploring pain management options. Comfort measures for labor using Spinning Babies techniques. Initiating breastfeeding. Delegating responsibilities to your partner or support person.
Newborn Care (0-3 month)
This class will help you understand and enrich the wonderful world of babies (0–3 months). We will cover the fundamentals of meeting your baby's physical and emotional needs—from feeding and diapering to soothing crying and fostering healthy development.

By request, we hold additional one-session classes for grandparents, siblings, those anticipating scheduled cesarean births, postpartum planning sessions and methods to prevent or reduce emotional birth trauma.
