Postpartum Edition
One-Day Postpartum, Newborn Care, & Infant Feeding Class | Lamaze Certified InstructorThis class is so much more than your typical baby care class…
…because I know you need care when you bring your little one home too. This delicate time is one that is so often accompanied by moments of doubt and questions ending in “what now?” While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to this postpartum season, you can optimize your experience with hands-on tools and supportive techniques delivered with an eclectic approach.
This one-day group class is tailored to inform and equip you to not only meet your babies needs, but also the needs of the entrusted infant guardians (YOU!). Understanding that this is the beginning not only of your baby’s life at home but also of your joint parenting philosophy we will explore key information and tools to navigate the many facets of this experience. From the moment you leave your birth location, I want you to feel prepared for your recovery AND ready to care for your baby at each early milestone.

This class goes beyond baby care basics…
…because I understand that each postpartum experience is just as vast and unique as the next. The distinctive value of this 4th trimester class is its integrated approach. Bundling the physical act of caring for you and your newborn together with your emotional well-being, personal goals, and blended parenting vision. You will leave with a personalized, written plan and a realistic expectation that will guide you in your postpartum journey from day one. Setting your family up for a satisfying and memorable adjustment to life with a new baby is my ultimate mission!
When should I take a class?
I recommend taking classes between 28-36 weeks. Each class is designed for late pregnancy, labor, birthing and the immediate postpartum period.
Does my partner need to attend? What if I don't have a partner?
Partners are highly encouraged to attend the whole class as it can make a significant impact on the confidence they feel while supporting you through labor, birth and into postpartum.
I aim to accommodate by offering weekend and/or private classes where you can attend at a time that is most convenient for you.
No partner? No problem - feel free to bring another support person such as a family member, friend, doula, etc.
I am planning to utilize medication, Will this class still benefit me?
YES!!! I am not here to tell you what kind of birth tools you should or shouldn't use. My goal is to make you aware of all the tools you have at your disposal (medicated and unmedicated) and for you to be well equipped in knowing when and where you would like to utilize these tools. Allowing you to make confident decisions whether or not medication or medical intervention is needed (or wanted!) during your birth experience- my aim is to offer you tools and techniques that will serve you through any kind of hospital birth experience you choose.
How much do classes cost?
Each class varies:
Private childbirth sessions start at $347
Group childbirth & postpartum classes at $197
You can find more details about each class by finding it listed under the 'education' tab in the menu above.
Are your classes covered by insurance?
Maybe! FSA/HSA accounts can be used to pay for a class.
A receipt can also be provided to submit for reimbursement upon request.
Call your insurance and ask if your plan covers parent education classes.
Why an emphasis on communication?
This childbirth class is unique, going beyond just a page of birth wishes, into how you can communicate, collaborate, and build a relationship with your OB or Midwife. Learning how to share your family’s preferences respectfully and make the most of your prenatal visits with your birth provider will empower you and begin to turn the birth process into a true experience.
Labor, birth, and the fourth trimester come with so many choices to make. You know what is best for your family and what you don’t know yet, I am here to help you explore in a meaningful and practical way.
