Childbirth Education Classes

Picture

​The Childbirth Education Classes are designed for couples that would like to receive one on one instruction about birth and comfort measures.
​I will come to your home three times throughout your pregnancy and we will talk about any concerns or questions you might have, create a birth plan, talk about your options and I will teach you different comfort measure techniques. You will be well informed and well prepared for your birthing day.
