Private childbirth Classes

While we highly encourage families to take our group childbirth classes, we know that not everyone can make that work with their schedules. This is why we offer private classes that can be customized for you and your family (and your busy schedule!). *NEW—we are also offering private Newborn Care Classes now!

Our private childbirth classes are offered two ways: in your home or virtually via Zoom. Our in-home option is only available to families in the greater Nashville area. Take a look below at our classes—our educators are looking forward to supporting you fully during this important time!
