In-Home Birth Education for Twin Cities Families
You know that information is power, especially when it comes to your health and wellbeing, but let's be honest... your plate is full and the idea of scheduling a 12, 16, or 20 hour class series (plus commute time) over multiple weeks is daunting. You want only the most practical, evidence-based information delivered in a fun, engaging, and time-efficient way (and maybe your dog can come, too?). Private, in-home birth, lactation, and newborn care education may be the answer you're looking for.
