We offer several online birth & baby classes in a live, interactive format via Zoom, check below for details and times (all times listed are Eastern time zone!). We also offer private classes in your home.
Currently Scheduled Classes
** we do not currently have any Childbirth and Newborn Care group classes scheduled **
Contact us to inquire about availability for a private class.
We love providing education for our clients and the community! Our current caseload of birth and postpartum clients is too heavy to commit our availability for group classes. We are working on bringing on additional capacity for group classes soon so stay tuned! We do have some (very limited) availability for private classes. Please contact us to discuss your options for private classes with us or for recommendations on group classes with other organizations.
