Pregnancy, Childbirth, Breastfeeding
Classes for Clarity and Confidence
Classes are personalized to give women the support and information needed in order to be active in their medical decisions. Classes are open to everyone- whether you are a first time parent or experienced parent.
What to Expect
Classes are intimate, fun, and informative. We will discuss early signs of labor, stages of labor, decisions, medical interventions, options to manage pain, basic comfort measures, cesarean birth, as well as information on early newborn interaction.
Value for You
Did you know that a mother's education is a high predictor of her children's future success? After our time together, you will have knowledge to share with your family for generations. If you breastfeed and would like to work with me, your first consultation will also be discounted.
