PRIVATE PRENATAL CLASSES

Private prenatal classes are interactive and very popular for those with busy schedules who cannot attend an extended series of prenatal classes, or for expectant parents looking for a customized class covering topics to meet their specific needs. 

Private prenatal classes may be held in the comfort of your own home or via a live stream virtual class, and are scheduled either on a weekday or weekend at your convenience.  You may choose a prenatal class that covers the same topics as our group series, or you may customize your private class by choosing the topics you would like covered.  Save money by doing a semi-private class with a friend!

There is flexibility with dates / times for private class options.  Please call or email to schedule a date/time that works best for you.

See below for details and feel free to contact us with any questions or to schedule a class. (Prices includes one pregnant person and one partner/support person)
