Online Group Classes
Weekly live sessions
When you invest in one of my online childbirth courses, we’ll meet every week for 2-2.5 hours (depending which course you choose). The classes are meant to be interactive and encourage conversation so you’ll get to know other attendees in class
Personalized attention
A live childbirth class is so effective because you’ll be able to ask all the questions you have. There is lecture, but it’s not a podcast. You’re encouraged to ask lots and lots of questions. You are also encouraged to use me as a resource even outside of class time.
Classes are kept small to insure this personalized attention
Supplemental Materials and Information
Besides all of the information shared in class, you’ll receive weekly emails chock full of supplemental information, a resource list (featuring my favorite providers, therapists, trainers, etc), discount codes for fun baby stuff, and a google sheet filled with favorite links to websites, articles, and studies
Too busy with the holidays for a class? Need a self-paced class?
CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE
You will receive all class materials, access to exclusive birth videos, and 4 recorded classes for you to consume at your own pace. You’ll also have access to me for questions and clarifications as well as one 60 minute zoom call where we can discuss your particular labor preferences and work on a plan for your natural birth.

Community
Taking an online class that is live vs. downloading a recorded class offers many benefits: You’ll be able to ask all your questions as they come up.
You’ll get answers that consider your individual circumstance. You won’t get glossy, over-generalized answers that prove to be not so helpful in your particular case.
You’ll get to know other like-minded parents who are seeking a common path and outcome for their labor and birth.
And if you’re more of an introvert and prefer to not exhaust your social battery, you can choose when you’d like and not like to participate in class activities and discussion.
“It takes a village”
What you’ll get for your investment
8 - 12 Classes (depending on the courses you choose) for you and your birthing partner, taught by me, a certified childbirth educator who is also a certified practicing doula
Discounts on lactation services from SoCal lactation consultants
Comprehensive resource list
Continual and individualized support from me outside of class via phone, text, or email to answer questions right up the day of your labor
If you’re singed up for The Bradley Method ® you’ll have access to The Bradley Method® student center where you'll find: classes recorded by The Academy of Husband Coached Childbirth, exclusive Bradley™birth videos, and a digital copy of the Bradley™ workbook
What to know
These classes are coach-based. Bring your partner to class. This will be your birth coach
Having your camera on is highly encouraged though not required
I will say that you will get the best of me if we can see you - Your energy is what makes the class amazing
Because interaction is encouraged and very personal, classes are not recorded
If you miss a class, there is almost always a way to make up the class, just coordinate with me as soon as possible
THIS IS AN INCLUSIVE, SAFE-ZONE. THERE WILL BE NO JUDGEMENT OR DISCRIMINATION ALLOWED HERE.
SO LONG AS YOU ARE PARENTS WHO LOVE, YOU ARE WELCOME HERE.
