Our most popular class with the most information and opportunity to connect with other couples who often turn into lifelong friendships! Learn everything you need to know about pregnancy, labor, birth, and the immediate postpartum. Perfect for couples planning a hospital, birth center or homebirth. Our Comprehensive Childbirth Education Class prepares you on all levels – physically, mentally, and emotionally to navigate your birth experience as it unfolds. You and your partner will complete this class feeling excited, confident, and ready for your birth. This is an in-person group class that meets one evening a week for 2 hours over five sessions (10 hours total). Workbook included.
Students enrolled in my comprehensive childbirth education course will have scheduling priority and will save $200 on my doula services (non student $1800). The bond we will develop and the knowledge you will acquire over the course of our comprehensive childbirth class will help you achieve your goals of having an informed and empowered birth experience. Learn more about my childbirth education options here. Add on birth photography for $850 more.
Document the miracle of welcoming your baby into the world so you can always remember your transformative day. This package includes on-call coverage for 2 weeks before and after your estimated due date as well as a pre-birth consultation to chat through preferences and expectations. This includes 75+ digital photos from labor, birth & the “golden hour”. Add birth videography for only $250 extra to capture key moments from labor, birth and those first sounds and snuggles postpartum. Keepsake video will be approximately 3-5 minutes long. If you are also my doula client, birth photography is only $850 in addition to doula fees.
I offer a comprehensive childbirth education suitable for first time moms (and their partners) to experienced moms looking for a refresher or to have a more informed and empowered birth experience. I also provide birth doula services as well as maternity, birth and newborn photography to document each step of your journey to motherhood.
Vanessa made me believe my body could do exactly what it needed to do to help me birth my baby! Her confidence and support made all the difference! Also… she was able to support me AND capture some of the most incredible photographs of my daughter’s birth. I’m so grateful to have those moments documented.
