Independent childbirth education teach families to prepare for the birth they desire.

You are capable of making decisions for your labor that are right for your family. Our classes honor the intuition you carry as a parent while also knowing you deserve the evidenced based information to help guide those decisions.

Many hospital courses teach you how to do birth their way - but perhaps not your way. We want you to leave class feeling prepared to meet your baby with real tools to reduce the risk of interventions and unnecessary cesarean birth.

We use Preparing for Birth curriculum. It’s modern childbirth prep that is at the intersection of evidence and intuition.

All families are welcomed in our classes.
