Childbirth Classes in Amherst, MA - Spring 2014

(This class series is already completed. Please click HERE to find the current class schedule.)

***

I am very excited to announce that I will be teaching a Childbirth class series in Amherst, MA starting in April. There are so many birthing classes in Northampton, and I am proud to bring some resources "over the bridge".

These comprehensive childbirth classes cover all aspects of pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum care, including medicated and non-medicated pain management, breastfeeding, and infant care. We focus on informed decision-making, helping each individual couple determine what kind of birth they want and what they can do to achieve it. Whether mom wishes for an epidural or a non-medicated birth, to breastfeed or feed with formula, is planning a vaginal birth or scheduled Cesarean birth, we help her plan for her care and build the skills necessary to have the birth she wants.

The 6-week series is $90.00 per couple (all types of support people are welcomed and encouraged!).
The Breastfeeding and Infant Care classes are each $20 per couple; however, you book all 8 weeks at the same time, receive a 25% discount on the Breastfeeding and Infant Care classes.
