The Class: 

​​This course combines Lamaze-based ideas with spinning babies, evidence-based birth, and years of doula experience to help you fully prepare for childbirth. The goal of this class is for each couple to leave feeling prepared with tools to work through labor and postpartum. This class is a good fit for any/all birth plans! Our goal is to help you have the tools you need to achieve the birth you are hoping for. You will leave class with a binder of resources and information to help you as you prepare!

  • Preparing for a home or hospital birth
