During both of my pregnancies, my husband and I went to birth and labor preparation classes, and I remember how daunting it was trying to figure out which classes or workshops to choose. There are classes held at the hospital, natural childbirth classes from various institutions, hypnobirthing classes, and the list goes on. After experiencing a variety of these, I was blown away by Marissa’s workshop and wished I had known about it when I was pregnant. The Birthing from Within Inspired workshop included a lot of art projects and time for reflection and journaling, as well as the physical labor preparation you would expect.

We had so many questions about the logistics of it all (air travel, lodging, which activities to attempt or skip, sleeping and nap routines, etc), and if you're about to take a little one on a faraway trip, you may be asking yourself many of the same questions.
