Childbirth Classes:
Edubirth Childbirth Services offers private and small group (2-4 couples) Childbirth Classes for expectant couples or women who lack the time to take the regular six-week session. It is ideal for expectant couples who prefer smaller group classes. Classes can be taken in the privacy of one's home. Childbirth Classes meet Lamaze guidelines and include lessons in: anatomy and physiology; exercise and nutrition; non-pharmacological pain management skills;  medicine during birth; breathing and relaxation skills; baby care basics; post-partum depression; and initiation of breastfeeding. These Childbirth classes are offered year round.

Doula Services consist of two prenatal (one hour visits) with the expectant couple; 24 hour on call service; and one post-partum visit. Please schedule an appointment for an interview. Referrals are given upon request.

Infant Massage Lessons can be arranged with the instructor and are usually conducted in 2-4 sessions. These classes are private and offered year round.
