Congratulations! You are taking a wonderful step in learning about the process of birth. I offer both group and private childbirth classes as well as a birth doula service.
Doula Services
A doula is a trained pregnancy and birth professional who supports the laboring mother and her partner during labor. We do not take the place of a doctor or a midwife, and we do NOT do any medical procedures. I meet with you at least twice prior to your birth. We'll get to know each other and I'll help you plan the birth that you desire. I provide some education during these visits and we practice various comfort techniques for labor. During the birth, I provide continuous physical and emotional support throughout your labor, and visit you once after the birth in your home. Please see my website for all the other perks of having a doula!
Private Classes
My twelve hour childbirth preparation course is taught privately, in the comfort of your home. (6 classes at 2 hours each). Ask all the questions you would like! We will cover everything from pregnancy aches and pains to postpartum care for you and your newborn. I have several handouts, a workbook, videos, charts and a small lending library of pregnancy/childbirth books for you to read. I also have a small ‘goody’ bag of samples to give away. This childbirth course is $180. (Sometimes I run a special, so visit my website!)
Group Childbirth Classes
Group childbirth classes are now being offered in Keller, TX - Sign up before September 1st and recieve a free massage! This is also a 12 hour course that meets once a week for six weeks (classes are two hours long). Price for group classes - $140.
Other Classes
I also offer an early pregnancy class as well as a newborn class - each class is 3 hours and $40. See what your baby looks like at various stages, and learn about all the joys of pregnancy as well as all the tests and screenings you will be offered. I also offer a crash course in childbirth education if time is running out. (Please email or call for details).
NEW: Grandparent's class 101 ! If you are a grandparent, aunt, uncle, friend or sister and plan to attend a birth, then this class is for YOU! It doesn't matter if it's a hospital or home birth, I will teach you some basics that will enhance your role. This three hour class is $40
Have a wonderful birth! If you are a single mom, please call and we'll discuss discount possiblities!
