HYPNOBABIES® is a 6-week, complete preparation for childbirth series, that meets once each week, for 3-3.5 hours each class.
Group classes are limited to 6 couples for more personal attention.

In-person classes will be held in Newport Beach at the New Mom School. If you are not comfortable with in-person classes I am offering Zoom and private in-home lessons.
Group classes are $500 per couple. I understand hardships happen and I strongly believe everyone deserves a peaceful birth. We can discuss payment plans or sliding scale as needed. Please contact me for more information regarding classes and pricing.
