I am an experienced childbirth educator, and my classes are comprehensive and designed to give you ample opportunity to have all of your questions about pregnancy, labor, birth, and post-partum care answered.

Usually I teach my childbirth education class in a single day for small groups. For larger groups, I teach it over two days or over several evenings. Private classes are available upon request. I charge $175 per mommy.
