Childbirth Education

Childbirth.  What do you need to know before you will feel prepared and ready?  
That is not something anyone can tell you.  But what we know, is that usually with an understanding of the process, and understanding of how you want to feel at the end of your birth, and having a opportunity to discuss those topics with your chosen birth partner before you go into labor are great first steps. 

The Private Class

This is perfect for the family that has very little time and needs information to be brought to them, on their schedule. 

Our private childbirth classes can be 2-9 hours long, and can cover the topics you deem most necessary of your time.  Out topic selection sheet will help you customize this private class to exactly what you need it to be. 

​Your instructor also remains available to you after class(es) have ended to offer further clarification or resources. 

These classes can be scheduled through our contact page. 

The most popular private class is 3 hours and covers birth basics and pain management.  To determine what length would be perfect for your goals, let's talk.
