BIRTH EASE CLASS OPTIONS, WHAT IS COVERED, & PRICING

At Birth Ease, my courses and classes are designed exclusively with you in mind. Whether you opt for a 4-hour traditional private childbirth education class or choose a Hypnobirth, The Birth Ease Method, and Calm Birth course, each is customized to fit your unique needs, birth plans, and schedule. In this relaxed, private class setting, we can address any stress or concerns you may be experiencing, something that isn’t possible in larger group classes. The Hypnobirth, The Birth Ease Method, and Calm Birth courses include audio relaxation recordings, a digital workbook, video education, and personalized instruction with plenty of time for questions, and guided relaxation sessions. The instructional videos are divided into short segments that can be watched in brief bursts or consumed all at once.

With 25 years of experience and over 1,000 families educated, I am committed to meeting each family's unique needs and fostering a supportive, engaging learning environment.
