Despite living in the Information Age, it can be surprisingly tricky to find straightforward, balanced, and trustworthy information about having a baby. It can be harder yet, to make decisions once you have said information. And, it’s nearly impossible to make a decision with confidence (read: without anxiety or guilt).

Birthsmarter’s education program is built on three pillars: physiology or how the body functions and good science, the societal context or omnipresent systemic influences, and your personal circumstance or what you’re bringing to the table.

Since we cannot predict how your birth or postpartum will unfold, our teaching will enable you to think critically and improvise, rather than follow a set of arbitrary prescriptions that may or may not apply to your situation.

EMPOWERING EDUCATION

Deeply rooted in education theory and mindful pedagogy, Birthsmarter is prenatal education based on our proprietary three-part Birthsmarter Framework that gives parents the knowledge, freedom, and flexibility to choose what’s right for them. Our approach empowers parents to think critically and creatively during labor and birth so you can feel truly prepared.

UNBIASED, INCLUSIVE, ACCESSIBLE

Current models of childbirth education are outdated, unregulated, or are based on a one-size-fits-all mindset, which can leave parents riddled with fear, guilt, shame, and overwhelm during the inevitable unexpected experiences. At Birthsmarter, we believe that families should have the highest quality of education and support to meet them where they are. We welcome all individuals and family structures.

For more than a decade, Maggie Yount has helped expecting parents prepare for birth, heal and prevent core and pelvic floor dysfunction, minimize and eliminate aches and pains during pregnancy, achieve positive, empowered birth experiences, mentally and physically prepare for the experience of birth, and heal easily and quickly postpartum.

After using Hypnobirthing classes to prepare for her own births, Maggie chose to become a licensed, Certified Birthsmarter Educator because she found it to be even more useful and applicable to today’s birthing landscape, current societal changes, and what it’s like to have a baby in Bozeman, Montana. Whether you desire a home-birth, a hospital birth, or plan to use a birth center, Maggie believes Birthsmarter is the best birth education on the market that helps families truly prepare.

Maggie is passionate about supporting expecting families to have the birth they desire, no matter what that may be. She has no bias other than working to help you have a safe, positive, empowered experience, and helping you have the tools and knowledge to be truly prepared.
