Practical Childbirth Preparation Class

With over 20 years of experience as a midwife in the delivery room and as a lactation consultant in patients’ homes, I know what childbirth and life with a baby are really like—intense, unpredictable, and profoundly powerful.

In my classes, I prepare you for childbirth and the first few weeks at home in an honest, pragmatic, and non-dogmatic way. Breastfeeding is very important to me.

We will discuss the following topics in detail:

  • Preparations during the last weeks before the birth
  • Birth process
  • Dealing with contractions
  • Role of the partner
  • Hospitalization
  • Postpartum
  • Breastfeeding—Often Underestimated

Actually, anyone can give birth. Sometimes it’s really easy. But often it isn’t, and I want to prepare you for that.

I do everything I can to prepare you holistically for the birth of your baby: cognitively, physically and mentally.
