Private Classes

A woman in light blue long sleeve shirt and beige sweatpants is sitting on a pink exercise ball in a living room. A girl with long curly hair is kneeling behind her, holding her waist and looking at her. The living room has wooden floors, a beige rug, a white couch with a gray pillow, large windows, a black cabinet, and a dining area with a wooden table and black chairs. There is a painting on the wall and a wicker lampshade hanging from the ceiling.

PRIVATE CHILDBIRTH CLASSES

While we highly encourage families to take our group childbirth classes, we know that not everyone can make that work with their schedules. This is why we offer private classes that can be customized for you and your family (and your busy schedule!).

Our private childbirth classes are offered: in your home, in our office in Madison/Rivergate, or virtually via Zoom. Our in-home option is only available to families in the greater Nashville area. Take a look below at our classes—our educators are looking forward to supporting you fully during this important time!
