Class Details

10:00am – 1:00pm one Sunday per month. Registration is limited. Plenty of free parking with a variety of local shops and restaurants and interesting things to see and do!  Great area to plan a luncheon at the end of class! For any questions or comments please reach out anytime to Peaceful Birth and Beyond Lactation Services.

This class is best taken in the last trimester of pregnancy, however this session is open to anyone who is interested in learning the art of lactation – care providers, parents of new babes, nurses, grandparents and partners.  Each registration will include two attendees. A detailed paid receipt will be provided that can be submitted to insurance for consideration of reimbursement, depending on your plan.  Most insurances will reimburse for IBCLC services as Lactation Benefits are part of the Affordable Care Act.

Teresa is a local IBCLC Lactation Consultant who also provides in-home Lactation Consultations once baby has arrived.  In-home care is unique to your needs and  supports the information discussed in class. Consults are designed to keep the momentum moving forward through each phase of lactation.

Childbirth Education Class Registration

Welcome and Congratulations on Your Soon-to-be-new Arrival!

Pregnancy can be filled with many emotions simultaneously -- joy, anxiety and wonder all wrapped into one.

Thank you for your interest in our Prenatal Childbirth Ed Class. Currently, we are offering our class as a prerecorded virtual course. After polling our clientele for feedback and preference, virtual classes were overwhelmingly chosen as the preferred method for learning.

Oftentimes new parents find themselves with little spare time to attend in-person classes. Prerecorded courses allow for unlimited flexibility with timing and relieves the burden of overloading information in a short period of time. Our course is designed for you to learn at their own pace in your own time from your own space. Additionally, the benefits of virtual instruction has allowed couples to go back and review the information as many times as desired.
