Your Empowered Birth: Childbirth Education Class
Future dates to be added soon- stay tuned!
In one immersive weekend, learn everything you need for birth, postpartum, and newborn care. This small-group, in-person course combines evidence-based education with hands-on practice for both parents and partners. It is also a great place to mingle with doulas, other service providers (IBCLCs, prenatal yoga instructors, therapists, etc), and expecting parents who will have a little one close in age to yours!
Saturday: Birth
Labor & Birth Preparation
Class begins at 9 am and ends at 2 pm. There will be refreshments and lunch provided.
There will be an opportunity to disclose any allergies or dietary restrictions. The sponsored caterer will share food and refreshment options in advance; if any items do not work for you, you’re welcome to bring a meal from home or step out to purchase food and return afterward.
Start your weekend with a deep dive into the birth process in our in-person childbirth education class in Chico, CA. You’ll learn the stages and phases of labor, practical breathing and relaxation techniques, and how partners can provide effective birth support. We’ll cover comfort measures you can use at home or in the hospital, plus tools for confident, informed decision-making. You’ll leave Day 1 with a personalized birth plan and the skills to approach labor feeling prepared and empowered.
Sunday: Beyond
Postpartum & Newborn Care
Class begins at 9 am and ends at 12:30 pm. There will be refreshments provided.
On Day 2, we focus on postpartum recovery and newborn care to help you prepare for life after birth. In this hands-on postpartum and infant care class, you’ll learn about emotional wellness, building a postpartum support system, and choosing the right feeding options for your baby. We’ll cover breastfeeding basics, positioning, and latching, and you’ll get guided practice with newborn care skills like swaddling, diapering, and soothing. Perfect for first-time parents or as a refresher, this class will help you start parenthood with confidence.
You will receive a workbook that we will work through together, and you can keep it in your pregnancy and parenting tool belt. You’ll also receive other tangible helpful resources, such as a labor position and timing guide, and a birth plan!

About the Pricing
For additional context, the standard insurance reimbursement rate for a prenatal education visit—typically just under two hours of doula services—is $162.11. This course includes approximately 8 hours of professional instruction, along with preparation, facilitation, materials, and food. When compared to standard reimbursement rates for doula-led prenatal education, the Standard Rate reflects a comparable—and often significantly reduced—cost for the total hours of care and instruction provided.
