birth in the modern maternity climate and help you determine the best birth place and plan for your family.
We will share with you reasons that many people choose drug-free birth as well as help you understand how to advocate for yourself.
An introduction to ways that women stay calm, centered, and peaceful during birth. This is a hands-on class. Bring a partner!

Prepare your body, mind, relationship and home for pregnancy.
We will share information on fertility, detox, exercise, and nutrition. What goes on hormonally in your body matters. The way you carry your body makes a difference. How you think about your body and yourself as a parent will determine, in large part, how you feel about birth. Preparing ahead of time will allow you to practice conscious conception.
We will also help you and a partner find ways to be present for each other on this journey and prepare your relationship for an increase in love.
Lauren McClain is a childbirth educator, blogger and lay researcher for Better Birth Blog, which offers assistance in planning and understanding birth in the modern maternity climate. Women and their partners can join a fun, comprehensive, 10-week Birth Boot Camp class and/or attend one of the $10 Birth Seminars on a topic of interest.
Every birth is a life changing event. In part because of my own three radically different birth experiences, I am pleased to offer comprehensive, intimate birth preparation classes. You only have options when you have information, and because I believe that every woman births differently, I am here to help you and your partner find and plan for your own best birth.
In addition to maintaining my own pregnancy, birth, and parenting blog at betterbirthblog, my work has been published in Holistic Parenting Magazine, Birth Issues, Mothering Magazine, True Birth (2014), and Mama Birth, as well as in the blogosphere. I also write and maintain a portion of BetterBirthBlog to help parents of breech babies make decisions about their care (formerly MyBreechBaby.org).

Cameo Sherman is a doula serving Anne Arundel county, Prince George’s county and surrounding areas. She brings specialized knowledge regarding supporting women in labor, use of the rebozo, and yoga.
Hello! My name is Cameo and I’m the proud mother of five children. Each of their births brought new experiences and passion to my love of childbirth. I believe giving birth is one of the most amazing and miraculous experiences a woman can have in her life. I became a doula because I want every woman to feel like the goddess she is as she transforms from one body to two and welcomes her new child into this world. In yoga, I have learned how to strengthen the mind/body connection through exercise, breathing, relaxation and meditation. I believe these are all useful tools in helping a woman achieve her desired birth. It’s an honor and a privilege to assist parents in this most special time of their lives.
