Prenatal Education

We are passionate about prenatal education because we believe that birth matters. Birth impacts the family in a profound way and is a deeply personal and life changing experience. Our goal is to provide expectant parents with the knowledge and strategies necessary to help them prepare for their labour, birth and postpartum experience while recognizing that each couple has their own unique vision.

Our in-class sessions have been temporarily cancelled once again effective immediately due to rising COVID-19 numbers. Registration for online classes continues (see the Online Learning tab for more information). See links below for free WebEx classes by a local  prenatal educator.
