We know that attending an in-person or live online course is challenging, so this year we’ve decided to launch our new self-paced modular based online childbirth education. You’ll gain access to our full childbirth class online that is designed to offer you as a much information as you’d like to have! The module based course includes lessons based on the topics below which include a variety of resources. There’s video instruction, downloadable handouts, useful infographics and images, and reflection opportunities. This course is truly a labor of love, and our educator Melissa, has been creating if for almost 2 years!
