BIRTH PREPARATION
Private Workshops
These flexible workshops offer parents personalized preparation in the comfort and privacy or your own home. Choose from our set prenatal class curriculum or customize the content based on your specific circumstances, budget and time preferences. Our private workshops allow you to fully benefit from our expertise as Registered Midwives.
We also offer all of our private workshops via live interactive zoom sessions for people who live outside of Calgary or those who continue to be cautious of COVID-19 in group settings.
Please contact us for more information about pricing or to arrange a private session.
**Please note we are fully booked for 2023 private workshops.**
