Whether you’re welcoming your first baby or simply looking for a more connected birth experience, this class offers practical tools and space to ask questions, build confidence, and prepare for the journey ahead.

4 weeks with Childbirth Educator, Labor & Delivery Nurse, and Doula: Kate Hopkins. Final week with a special guest speaker.
