Childbirth Education

A certified childbirth educator for over 6 years, it is my pleasure to provide private childbirth education classes in the privacy of your own home. I have found that expecting families often do not feel totally prepared for childbirth even though they have taken a traditional hospital-based childbirth education class.

I work with you to discover what information is most important to you so that we can develop an intimate and highly personalized childbirth education class that truly meets your needs.

My classes are founded on the 6 Care Practices for Normal Birth.

My goal is to provide high quality childbirth education classes for those seeking an alternative to or supplement for traditional hospital based childbirth education classes.
