This class is taught over 3 sessions of 2 hours each. I recommend that this class is taken anywhere from 28-36 weeks of pregnancy, and that both the birthing person and the birth partner can attend. Please let me know a range of dates and times that suit you.

My classes include PDF books for you to keep, interactive tools and worksheets. I use a dynamic teaching style that is designed to make all the information stick in your brain, while having fun doing it.
