Birth Classes
These classes are designed to thoroughly inform mothers and their partners of the routine practices at hospitals, the most common birth location chosen at this time. But they will prepare you for any location you may be birthing in. The content of the classes will empower you to create an optimal environment for what you want, and don't want. These classes are jam-packed, fun, uplifting, and educational! I offer group classes and private classes. Please see the upcoming schedule for group classes below. What we will cover is outlined briefly below.
