Current Prenatal Classes at Birth Roots Doula Collective

We recommend that you plan to finish your prenatal education at least one month before your due date. Class dates are subject to change. As well, we cannot guarantee that the class you select will be available. In the event that it is full, we will contact you to discuss other options.

Check back frequently as we are always adding new dates.

Summer Condensed Classes: Designed for couples who want to spend their summer weekends on the patio instead of in a prenatal class, this intensive class runs from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM and covers most of the material in our weekend class.

Private Classes: These classes are held in your home. They are 3-4 hours in length, and can be arranged for just you and your partner or for a small group of expectant parents (maximum 4 couples). This class is especially suitable as a refresher class in later pregnancies, but also covers enough of the basics to prepare you if you don't have the time for a week-end or six week series. We do recommend, however, that parents enroll in the six week or week-end series whenever possible.

All of our birthing classes include a free copy of Birth Journey: A Navigational Guidebook.
