Choosing Prenatal Support and Childbirth Education, is one vital way to help calm your nerves and prepare you for what’s to come. Our sessions are targeted and to the point - we skip the fluff and focus on the key information and terminology, and the most valuable tools and tips, to set you up for success.

“Kate and Ruth came to do a birth/labour refresher for my husband and I, with our second child. The class was awesome. We exchanged emails before hand to determine exactly how they should personalize the session and it was perfect! Kate is super knowledgeable, answered all our questions and left us feeling calm, informed and excited about the experience. We've used midwives for both of our kids and I loved that Kate was non judgmental and unbiased when it came to birth choices. A very rare trait when it comes to this topic! She simply laid out the facts and offered choices. I absolutely would've loved to have used her as a doula if she'd been available.”
