Private Classes, in your home and on your time 

There is no one-size-fits all "method" or approach. The childbirth + parenting classes I teach are fit to the people who sign up for the class. Parents report that they've found our time together to be fun, interactive and an enjoyable way to prepare for their birth + parenting journey, no matter what their plans may or may not include!

My goal is for all of my classes and services to be inclusive and affirm all families, regardless of how they are created. If your family includes more than one co-parent, or if you're bringing a baby into your family via surrogacy or adoption and would like to attend this class as a family unit, just let me know when you register. 
Pregnancy, Birth + Parenting Class topics of discussion include: 
  • Pregnancy self care, eating well, and moving your body
  • Going into labor - how to know and what to expect 
  • ​Stages of labor and what to expect in each stage
  • Comfort measures and techniques
  • Pain coping through breath awareness
  • Movement, Massage, Aromatherapy, and Hydrotherapy 
  • Medical support and writing a birth plan
  • Talking with medical staff, asking questions and getting answers
  • How the partner can best support the laboring person 
  • What to expect when choosing an epidural
  • Planning for a cesarean birth and recovery
  • Postpartum rest, recovery, and healing 
  • Newborn care including bathing, breast or bottle feeding basics
  • Relationships after the new baby comes 
  • Postpartum mood disorders
