Gateway Perinatal Services (GPR) will begin CAPPA Childbirth Education workshops in early 2016, for those wishing to join the next generation of Childbirth Educators. This training is required to become CAPPA certified. GPR also offers private and small group childbirth education classes for expecting parents and Labor Doula services. GPR supports the philosophy that pregnancy and birth are natural & empowering events in a woman's life. Evidence based education, good support and a safe environment can create the best birth possible and create a wonderful start to a new family. The perinatal season brings on many new experiences that GPR can help with.
