Community
Connection

This course is offered locally (on Zoom during Covid-19 pandemic) so you don't have to travel to participate and can meaningfully connect with other expecting parents in your community.

​

Our small class sizes allow the course to be personalized to your needs and tailored to delve deeper into topics most relevant to each group.

I periodically organize group courses (see 2023 course group offerings at the drop down list under "Childbirth Education" in the menu above)  - let me know if you are interested in joining a group or assembling your own group!
