Classes and Events

We are happy to offer childbirth instruction to the patients of Renaissance Women’s Group. The physicians want patients to be aware of their philosophy, available birth options and allow you an opportunity to ask questions. Classes are taught by qualified nurses. Our childbirth classes consist of a thorough explanation of the labor and delivery process with an emphasis on a variety of relaxation techniques for labor. We will also discuss anesthesia options, Cesarean sections, variations of the birthing experience and much more. We offer weekday evening classes OR you may choose our weekend day classes.

Whether this is your first experience or it’s been a few years since your last birth this class is very beneficial and fun for the expectant mother and coach.

We recommend that you wear comfortable clothes and bring a pillow for your back. Plan to eat dinner before class.

Mariann Nielsen

I have worked in women’s health since 1976 with 12 years experience in labor and delivery. I started teaching classes in 1984. I enjoy being part of this special time in your life and look forward to providing my services to you. I am proud of my three daughters and loving husband. The experiences of being a mom help me relate to you personally during pregnancy and the years ahead. Please bring two pillows and padding for the floor. An optional tour of labor and delivery is offered with the class.

Sandy Fuller

I have been a Registered Nurse since 1987 and I hold a professional certification in Women’s Healthcare. I have worked with the physicians of Renaissance since 1990 and have been teaching classes since 1996. As a mother myself with two wonderful sons, I can contribute both my personal and professional experience during this special time for you. The class is an enriching and educational experience, as well as a lot of fun too! You may schedule a tour of labor and delivery by calling 901-1000.

Kathy Robertson

Most of my nursing experience has been around women’s belly buttons or pediatrics since 1974! I teach a ten-hour seminar in two weekends and involve active coaching techniques. I am an advocate for children and families, pursuing and teaching personal growth courses, including Redirecting Children’s Behavior. My dream is to create a positive, loving society for my beautiful daughter and the world. Childbirth classes can change labor into “giving life” with the right attitude and training. You may schedule a tour of labor and delivery by calling 901-1000.
