In 2012 our founder, Hilary Baxendale, began teaching the childbirth classes she wished she had taken during her first pregnancy. Classes that didn’t focus on one “right way” or method to birth, but rather gave the power and choices back to the birthing person. And also delivered the information in a fun, practical way!
Along the way she became a birth doula and created an approach that is warm, unbiased and honors the unique needs and preferences of her clients.
At Westchester Birth our classes and approach are evidenced based and non-judgmental. Our goal is to inform families of birth options based on current medical recommendations and combine that with the birthing person’s goals and values to find what decisions are best for them.
