Classes
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Getting ready to meet your baby comes with a lot of information from so many sources, including Dr. Google. My childbirth and postpartum class options will help you sort through the information so you can make choices about how to meet your baby and start off your family’s next stage.
As a childbirth educator and doula, I am an expert on growing families and their needs. This qualifies me to teach the perfect classes to help prepare you for this transition, too. Whether you want to know about routine protocol at your birth location or learn how to expertly soothe your baby, I have the expertise to help you sail through pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, and the newborn phase.
Your registration includes two places in the class – one for you and one for a support person of your choice. All classes have been carefully tailored to our area’s needs, so look through them and sign up for the class (or classes) you want, and don’t forget to invite your pregnant friends to join you!
Crash Course Classes
These classes are excellent to take as a refresher course, as parents who already know about birth and postpartum, or as busy people who don’t have time for a longer course but want to know the basics. Each one is a few hours long, and only on a single day (unlike the class series). The crash course classes are completely virtual, too, meaning you don’t even have to leave your home!

Loved working with Liza! It was extremely personal and every concern and worry me and my husband had was addressed and made clear for us. Liza was sooo friendly and welcoming, very time efficient, and overall a joy to work with! For any expecting moms I would 100% recommend!
