Frequently asked questions:
How long do your classes take?
Intro to Childbirth, Preparing For Your Hospital Birth, and Bringing Home Baby are aimed to be about 4 hours. The time that the class will take each family is going to greatly depend on how much time you choose to spend on each activity. Our Breastfeeding class is geared to be about 3 hours, this also depends on how much time you spend on each activity.
Who are these classes for?
All of our classes are geared towards educating families, although if you are a perinatal professional, you will also find lots of great and helpful information in these classes.
What is the difference between your classes and the classes that my hospital offers?
Our classes are comprehensive, hands-on, communication and activity-based. They include a helpful and easy-to-implement workbook. Hospital-based classes are larger and typically lecture-style, shorter, non-interactive and not as comprehensive. Our in-person classes are smaller (typically 7-8 couples) which allows for more conversation and activities.
How do I know what classes to take?
Most of our birthing classes are geared for medicated or unmedicated births. The focus is informed decision-making and communication with your partner and healthcare provider. We strongly believe that your options can help you have an improved birth outcome.
Do you have these classes offered in any other languages other than English?
All of our virtual classes are offered in both Spanish and English. Click here to learn more about our Spanish classes.
Should I take a breastfeeding class?
We highly recommend taking a breastfeeding class if you plan on breastfeeding. Our breastfeeding class comes with a very helpful workbook and is more comprehensive than most hospital-based classes.
In-person classes may be available in your area in 2024, please check the map to see if they are offered.

“I typically don’t like taking virtual classes, I become distracted and bored, but all the classes I took here were very engaging and had me looking inward at what I wanted and how to achieve that, I really didn’t expect that. I loved listening to Anna!”

“I recently took the self-paced Intro to Childbirth class and it was absolutely amazing, I can listen to Anna’s voice all day long! I feel like this class definitely prepared me and my husband for our upcoming birth, we learned a bunch of coping techniques, what to expect in labor, and all of our options. I do really think this is a great class for first time parents. We also got a really cute booklet which was super helpful and informational! Highly recommend!”

“I really do feel a lot more at ease after taking the self pace Breastfeeding class taught by Anna- it’s very very informative, easy to understand, and I will say listening to Anna has really made me feel a lot less overwhelmed about breastfeeding. I can’t wait to have my little one and begin my BF journey!!!!”
