Education

You’ve got a lot going on, and fitting in extra classes that last for weeks at a time is not on the list. We get it, and that’s why all of our classes are done in a single day, so you can get back to all the other things on your plate. All classes are offered as virtual, private classes, via video conferencing. This unique, private childbirth education class, is customized to each individual family unit. You’ll still get all the same great handouts, and one-on-one question-and-answer time but without the interruptions and drive time of an in-person class! Private classes can be scheduled based on availability, with options for 6 days per week.

  • Pregnancy
    • Let’s talk about nutrition, weight gain, heartburn; anything you want to know about.
  • Labor
    • We’ll discuss the baby’s position, how it relates to the labor process at each stage, and what to expect.
  • Relief and Comfort Measures
    • How would you like to birth? When will you know what comfort measures to use? Why do some things work for you and why others don’t? What do you need to bring with you to have your best birth experience?
  • Interventions
    • Which interventions are right or wrong for you?
  • The Welcoming Hour
    • What should you expect in the first hour after birth? Newborn procedures, newborn feeding, and basic newborn care.
