Childbirth Education Classes
I offer twelve hours of private childbirth education in 3, 4, or 6 classes for your convenience. Classes have a strong emphasis on natural coping techniques with the goal of drug-free childbirth, and also include current, accurate, unbiased information on pain medications and interventions. You will also learn the basics of breastfeeding and how to wear your baby.

Cost: $150
Group Rate: Two or more couples, $100/couple

Charting Fertility to Avoid or Achieve Pregnancy
A three hour class teaching you how to read your fertility signs and use these signs to prevent pregnancy or conceive a baby. You will learn how to chart your temperature, cervical mucus, cervical position - and most importantly, what all this information can tell you about your body. As each woman's body is unique, no results are guaranteed.

Cost: $75
Group Rate: Two or more students, $50/student


Doula Services
I attend births both at home and in hospitals. Whether you are planning to use medical pain relief techniques or go "all natural," a doula is a valuable asset during labor and birth. A doula works with you to help you get the birth you desire, and does not judge you for your choices. Doulas provide the support you need to put birth back in your hands.
My services include three meetings prior to your baby's birth, attendance with you at your baby's birth, and two postpartum visits. I am also available for phone consultations as needed.


Cost: $275


Teens & Partners of Deployed Military:
Doula services for teen moms and mothers whose partners are or will be deployed near the baby's due date are free of charge.

* Sometimes there are circumstances where a family is unable to afford the entire fee. A sliding scale and scholarships are available for these families.
