Childbirth Education Classes

Seattle is without a doubt the place to be for one-of-a-kind, flexible, in home childbirth education classes. Our childbirth classes will prepare you to have the birth you want - whether at home, hospital, or birth center. You may have missed the cutoff to take your hospital's childbirth class. You and your partner may be having a hard time committing to a weeknight class for the next 6 - 8 weeks, or perhaps you much prefer individualized, private classes. You have come to the right place if any of that rings true!

We are incredibly familiar with labor, birth, the inner workings of a woman's unique body, and are supported by evidence-based practices. We don't work for any hospitals so you know our classes have only one agenda: helping you find and use the tools you need to make educated decisions for yourself and your baby, so you feel strong, empowered, and satisfied long after your baby is born.

We believe an understanding of the birth process coupled with support alleviates fear, encourages a peaceful birthing atmosphere, and leads to optimal baby / family attachment.
