Birth Restored Childbirth Education
-
From choosing a homebirth to hospital birth, a preference for unmedicated or electing an epidural, induction or spontaneous labor, this class is for anyone.
Small classes allow Kimmy to connect with each student and tailor the information to you. Her experience with birth both in and out of the hospital offers valuable insight to the various options you may face on the journey.
Together we’ll explore what the Bible says about birth and equip you with the knowledge and skills to have an amazing birth experience. God designed the female body to give birth and His design is without flaw.
He has written your birth story- pack your bags and prepare to see it unfold. Adjust your expectations and perspective to celebrate the beauty in His plan.

Birth Restored consists of 5 units of childbirth education, offered in flexible formats to meet your needs. Classes are taught in small group settings or privately with just you and your support person.
In Person: All 5 units are covered in class taught by Kimmy. The class meets weekly for 5 weeks, with each session lasting about 2 hours.
Hybrid: Every other week you will attend in person classes taught by Kimmy. During the alternate weeks, you will have access to the Birth Restored online course, where Akasha Hines, the founder of Birth Restored, will lead pre-recorded sessions. Access to the online content will be provided during the first class session.
Course Journal: All students will be provided the Birth Restored Course Journal- a combined workbook and devotional. As you complete each lesson in the Birth Restored Course, you will be guided to evaluate your understanding, reflect on preconceptions, and realign your beliefs based on scientific and biblical truth instead of cultural misconceptions.

The Breakdown
Birth Restored is broken into 5 units designed to be completed weekly. Each class meeting will cover one unit allowing time to discuss and answer questions specific to each class. The course journal follows the lesson breakdown and allows you space to record your thoughts, feelings, and prayers as you gain more insight and information about birth.
The goal is to leave class feeling informed and with accurate expectations for your birth experience. Every birth is a different story and may contain some unexpected plot twists. With the knowledge gained in this course you will be ready to navigate the expedition.
