Prenatal Education    Group classes or individualized learning

Childbirth classes can be scheduled during the day, evening or weekend in your home, mine or other comfortable location. As a certified childbirth educator I will focus on the most important issues of prenatal education including: labour and delivery, medication and intervention, postpartum and the newborn as well as a strong emphasis on comfort techniques. Most clients find that three to four sessions are adequate to cover the material they desire since the small group or private sessions are meant to meet your specific need for information and knowledge. Sessions are complimented by the usage of posters, videos, props and of course hands on skills development.
