People who take Lamaze Healthy Birthing are better prepared for birth and beyond! No matter what kind of birth you envision taking an in-depth class will help you. Knowing what your choices are and what to expect is invaluable and well worth the investment. The class will also help you prepare for breastfeeding, postpartum, and parenting. I limit class size so there is plenty of time for questions and you can get to know the others in your class.
Consulting with Virginia gives you the opportunity to take advantage of her 20+ years of childbirth professional experience and 40+ years of parenting!
Participants tell me they prefer the virtual live classes on zoom. So I will continue offering them, with the addition of 1-2 of the classes being in person. I send participants a binder with outline for note taking, supplies we use during class, a list of things needed from around the house. Then we all meet on zoom. Participants can see me as well as the other attendees!
6 week Series 16+ hours of education Sunday’s 5pm-8pm . May 7- June 18, July – August classes will be a combination of virtual with 1-2 in person
Group Classes $200.00 Private Classes $300.00

Attendees tell me in this time of isolation this class was a bright light of interaction with other expecting families. An advantage of virtual class is you don’t have to live near me to participate. So classes are available to any expecting couples, no matter where you live!
During these classes you will learn about pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum and breastfeeding.
