Private childbirth classes are specifically tailored to each expectant couple. An individualized curriculum is created to meet your needs, taking into account any prior birth experiences, where you plan to give birth and whether you are planning a natural or medicated labor.

Private childbirth classes are often more convenient for couples who have scheduling conflicts or simply do not have the time for full-day classes offered at hospitals or by other childbirth educators.

Classes cover individual topics of your choice, such as:

Comfort measures for birth

Stages of labor

Relaxation and breathing techniques

Interventions and medications

Breastfeeding and newborn care

Private childbirth education classes are available upon request. Please call
for more information or to schedule a class in your home or in Dr. Sturm's office at the Consulate Healing Center.
