birthED was born from the intention to support birthing people and families as they navigate the joys and concerns of bringing their children into this world. Every birthED class has an emphasis on identifying each student's unique values and philosophies and assures authentic, honest, funny, down-to-earth and certified teachers.
With years of experience supporting birthing people in their births as well as 1,000s of families taught and served over the past decade, birthED brings a unique knowledge to childbirth education. Rooted in the Lamaze® Healthy Birth Practices we bring evidenced-based actionable tools and information to our students in a fun and interactive class.
