Parent Education

Many expecting and new parents find themselves feeling overwhelmed.  They struggle to sort through the endless advice, suggestions, books, routines, and devices.  Don't worry, you are not alone and I can help you navigate through these challenges!  With virtual group classes and private instruction, I provide Prenatal Education, Parent Education, and even Training for Caretakers.  Each offering will provide you with the relevant resources, evidence based information, and expert support you need.
Prenatal Education
Each class in this Prenatal Series is designed to help you more fully prepare for the arrival of your little one. Whether you prefer to pick and choose your classes or engage in the whole series, Private Instruction is available and Group Classes are also offered regularly.  Please contact me directly for current schedules.
Get Ready
Get started with confidence!  This two hour class is a wonderful introduction for first time parents and a great way to refresh your memory if this is not your first child.  We will discuss newborn traits and what to expect during your baby's first weeks at home.  In addition to the topics of basic infant care, we will discuss newborn senses, development, soothing techniques, scheduling, sleep, and more!
Get Set
You have taken the hospital tour and registered for every baby item imaginable, but are you ready?  In this two hour class we explore some of the many ways that you can more fully prepare for the transition to parenthood.  We will discuss community support systems, local resources, the need for self care, and the importance of connecting as a couple.  We will also work together to create your personalized Postpartum Plan, helping you prepare physically and mentally for your little one’s arrival.
Dream On
Sleep is a top concern for most parents!  This class is designed to set up healthy expectations and habits surrounding infant sleep before your baby arrives.  You will learn about schedules, calming techniques, healthy infant sleep patterns, and more.  Using evidence based research, this class is full of invaluable infant sleep knowledge that will help you establish healthy sleep right from the start.
Circle of Security Parenting
Over the course of eight week series we will discuss how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened.  Based on decades of research, the Circle of Security model helps parents and caregivers to understand their child’s emotional world, learn to identify the emotional needs being expressed, and support the child’s ability to successfully manage these emotions.  Furthermore, it helps to enhance the child's self esteem and honors the parent's innate wisdom and desire for their child to be secure.  *This series is exclusively offered as a Group Class.  Please contact me directly for current schedules.
