Private classes are conducted over Zoom. These are not pre-recorded classes but rather interactive ones where you can ask questions along the way and we can talk about the specific things you want to learn. Because you are in your own home, you can also show me things like where your baby will be sleeping if you wish as well as get instruction on whatever swaddles, carriers or baby equipment you might have questions about. ​

Our clients say:

" In our first "getting to know you" meeting, Emma gave off an air of calm confidence. She asked questions which inspired us to consider our opinions about labor and delivery and helped us get to the bottom of our dreams and desires for our delivery. In our second meeting she presented us with current, comprehensive information on the labor process from start to finish and was able to explain to us the various possible medical interventions that could occur in a hospital birth. She made it clear that she was there to support our decisions and I felt that, should I opt for an epidural, she would remain non-judgmental.."
