What We Do
Our focus is on women, families, and healthy options during the childbearing years, particularly from pregnancy to postpartum.
"Birth must be honored and given every opportunity for the growth that is inherent in its potential."
- Raven Lang
We connect with expectant mothers during the early stages of pregnancy and help them prepare to give birth to their child. APNB facilitates the childbirth process by:
Empower
Empowering women and their partners through childbirth education classes.
Connect
Connecting women and their partners to appropriate pregnancy-related resources (e.g. acupuncture, massage therapy, nutrition; etc).
Engage
Engaging women and their partners in learning pain coping techniques for labor such as using hydrotherapy, meditation and relaxation exercises, promoting positive labor and birthing positions, and encouraging activities that foster healthy wellbeing during pregnancy (e.g. prenatal yoga positions, positive affirmations).
Support & Assist
Supporting and assisting women at childbirth to deliver their own baby in a healthy and empowering manner.
Post-partum
Providing women with postpartum support in the home as they integrate a new family member and adjust to their new life.
