Childbirth Education Class at PGTL
2024-08-31 14:00 - 16:30
Prepare for your upcoming birth with an informational session presented by Serena Duncan, fertility and childbirth doula, HypnoBirthing instructor, and childbirth educator.
Speaker Bio: Hi! I’m Serena Duncan (she/her pronouns) and I am a fertility/childbirth doula, HypnoBirthing instructor, and childbirth educator. When I was pregnant with my second baby I discovered what a doula was and my interest was piqued! I dove into birth work and I haven’t looked back since! I hope to be a safe space for people of all walks of life. Working in healthcare I’ve seen first hand how birth experiences are different for people of color and LGBTQIA+ people and I’m determined to be a part of changing that culture. I believe that birth is a natural, positive and downright magical experience that shows us our true power. I strive to help others enter their parenthood journey feeling the same way.
