How COVID-19 may impact your experience
There is no one right way to labor. We stand by the philosophy that birth is a normal process and hope to inspire confidence in everyone we teach by sharing what possible things to expect, helping you develop the skills to move through your labor and leaving you feeling prepared to work through whatever your journey turns out to be. It is our goal to educate you about the full spectrum of options for birth, and then to support you unconditionally.

This class is instructed by our partners at Boober.
Boober is where expectant and new parents find classes and on-demand care providers like doulas, lactation consultants, mental health therapists, and more.
