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. And you’re 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

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.
You’ll also 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 activities.
