Childbirth Education Classes
We offer a variety of childbirth education classes at our studio, many featuring natural childbirth techniques, knowledge to prepare you for the birth plan and experience you envision, and help in forming the physical, mental, and emotional support structures that can sustain you during your pregnancy to birth to postpartum journey. Workshops also include parenting classes focused on after baby arrives.
