NOW OFFERING ONLINE VIDEO CONSULTATIONS AND IN-HOME CLASSES FOR CHILDBIRTH, HYPNOBIRTHING, NEWBORN CARE AND INFANT FEEDING

Antenatal Education Options

There is a lot to take in when you start preparing for your birth, life with a newborn, and how to feed them. Many parents also have limited time to devote to long, multi-day classes which may not suit their schedule. My bespoke range of classes can be provided online, in person at the Urban Co-Op (in Eastway Business Park, Limerick) or a combination of both, allowing you to select the date, time and topics covered. Your family’s unique needs are tailored to leaving you with the knowledge needed to feel confident and prepared for labour and early parenting.

Class duration: You can opt for any length you like for virtual classes, however, three hours is recommended to create a solid foundation. A three hour minimum is required for all in person consults.

Class Rates: One to One virtual consultations— €40/hr.

In Person at the Urban Co-Op— €180 for three hours or €220 for four hours. A four hour visit is highly recommended for first-time parents.
