Our Birth & Postpartum
Preparation Series Whether you are 100% sure you would like to plan for a natural birth or you simply want to learn as much as you can about pregnancy, labor, and postpartum,
this course is for you! ~ ~ ~ Katie, Nov. 2020 course participant, says: “We learned our options and how to navigate childbirth and postpartum. Even better, it was a judgement-free environment, with room for us to make our own choices. And we feel the class was definitely worth the money. The amount of knowledge and insight we got really gave us a lot more confidence in the whole birthing process. It was a small price to pay for the amount of confidence we got!" |
