About the Class:
We offer all core classes in a private setting to accommodate your schedule, or we are happy to customize our curriculum to meet your individual education needs. We offer 1 to 2 hour private consultations anytime throughout pregnancy to answer questions and help you strategize. If you're looking for a private birthing class in the third trimester (to really prepare for labor and delivery), we recommend a minimum of one, 3-hour private class.
Here is a very basic outline of the main topics you can choose from when designing a private class. If there are topics you are more or less interested in exploring, please let us know.
