Calendar for Classes and Events
Independent childbirth classes help families prepare for the birth they want….the difference between the hospital class and one taught independently can be dramatic!
Prepare for your best birth by choosing an afternoon class, a series of four or one of our private classes. We also have a comprehensive breastfeeding course you stream during pregnancy and after your baby arrives.
All families are welcomed in our classes.
Happy Birthing!
