The Giving Birth - Prenatal and Childbirth Classes

Childbirth preparation is about learning, practicing, and being inspired. Most free classes offered by hospitals and doctors offices leave women feeling at best overwhelmed, but more often plain discouraged. And most dads leave class wondering exactly what they’re supposed to do to help when the time comes.

Childbirth is an exciting time and you deserve to be prepared for your birth experience by someone who believes in the miracle of what you and your baby can accomplish together. We want you to have the best birth possible.

All classes are offered privately in your home and can be organized to meet your schedule. Weekend, evening or daytime hours are available. Groups of four or more expectant women (and their partners) receive a 10% discount. Public venues for group classes can be arranged for an additional fee. A minimum of six weeks’ notice is required for booking.
