L'Mazeltov
The Jewish Childbirth Education Program
Every mother and her labor partner need time to prepare for childbirth.
I want to invite you to join us for our 5 week Jewish Childbirth Education series. This class is open to expecting couples that want to be informed and confident on their birth choices and expectations, as well as initiating their Jewish family life and traditions.
Our goal is to create a warm and collaborative learning experience from which you will walk away feeling confident and empowered by your own body’s ability to birth.

Plus more, as we listen to your needs and tailor classes accordingly.
