Our Classes

These classes are designed to support women from their third trimester through postpartum. 

Abundant Life Childbirth takes a faith-centered, natural, and low-intervention approach to pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. Our focus is on honoring the natural birthing process as God designed through empowering women with knowledge and confidence. Each lesson integrates biblical truths and encouragement, providing a strong foundation of education and faith. By the end of the class, mothers will feel equipped with practical tools, spiritual support, and a deep understanding of their body's capabilities, enabling them to approach birth and postpartum with assurance.

What Previous Students are saying

  • Sophie W.

    "This class is so beneficial for all moms out there! Aimee does an incredible job of walking you through so many stages and details of your pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Things I was not aware of and feel prepared for now! I highly recommend this class and have your spouse join in!"

  • Sarah B.

    "Aimee’s class content and supportive materials are very well thought out and beautifully presented. She did a great job of providing information about all of the options, major decisions, and making a point to remind us that we have an important role to play in advocating for ourselves - without completely overwhelming with information. She is a wealth of knowledge and I would highly recommend this class!"

  • Kelly E.

    "Taking this faith based birth preparation class can help you prepare physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I left feeling peaceful and connected to my faith as I prepare to bring new life into the world. I recommend it to any mom who wants to invite God into her birth journey."

  • Alayna S.

    “Aimee is easy to listen to and you can tell she is genuinely passionate about wanting to help moms. I can tell she was a teacher in her past and appreciate the support and knowledge she’s poured into her class! She’s easy to talk to when you have questions and willing to provide more info outside of the classroom setting when questions come up. Plus she has given birth 3 times naturally and is a woman of strong faith which is important to me in my journey through birth! She’s exactly the kind of woman I want to learn from and aspire to be like in my birth journey as a first time mom.”
