Healthy Pregnancy Class (1 session, a public service—free of charge)
Designed for women and their partners thinking about becoming pregnant or who are early in their pregnancies. Health matters for consideration before and at the start of a pregnancy are reviewed as are the many options and choices in pregnancy care and childbirth options in the New York Metropolitan area. Current research related to pregnancy, childbirth and infant care and nutrition is presented.

Pregnancy Choices Workshop (2 weeks, limited to 6 couples)
This workshop is designed for couples in 2-4 months of pregnancy. Optimal nutrition for pregnancy is the central focus since good nutrition is the number one way to actively work towards the best start for your baby. Physiological changes of pregnancy, the accompanying emotional signposts and methods for managing them are discussed. 

Bradley Method® Childbirth Class (12 weeks, limited to 8 couples)
Though it can seem like 3 months is a long time to prepare for an event that only lasts hours (or days or weeks,) it is so worth the time to thoroughly prepare for the birth of your baby.

Over these 12 weeks, the mother and coach are physically trained in labor positions and in building stamina. They master relaxation, one of the most effective pain management techniques. They participate in activities, practices, and discussions, and benefit from lectures and videos. They are given a wealth of information from which to make knowledgeable choices. And throughout this learning, they can build confidence in their bodies and abilities, and in the birth process. This confidence allows them to form habits to make a natural pregnancy and childbirth work.

These sessions also provide the mother and coach an opportunity to spend together thinking about and truly preparing for their baby, anticipating the changes in their lives and the joys of building upon their family.

Because the classes are small in size, the group comes together and has a chance to develop enduring friendships. This friendships are so essential for new parents (particularly if they have few friends with children) who crave conversation with other new parents!

The physical and intellectual preparation that the expectant mother and coach undergo, along with the support system that emerges between the couple and the entire class, gives them the confidence in and commitment to natural unmedicated childbirth.
