Virtual Class

This condensed version of our class takes place virtually on your computer, tablet or smartphone. It consists of 2 weeknight sessions (2.5 hours each) for 2 consecutive weeks on the same day each week.

This condensed virtual class will give you the essentials you will need to understand the birthing process. This includes a shorter version of pain management, cesarean birth, newborn procedures after birth and postpartum care. You will be able to ask questions.

Please note: This class is intended for those planning an epidural birth, so very limited breathing and relaxation is practiced. For couples desiring more practice on breathing and relaxation techniques we offer a supplemental one-night Natural Childbirth Techniques class.
