private classes give you individual attention, support and freedom to tailor the material to your needs.
private prenatal classes
Kama shares her unique knowledge, perspectives, and experiences as a midwife, doula, and parent, and she also tells it like it is. She’ll keep you laughing as you learn about everything from when you’re really in labour to what colour your newborn baby’s poop should be.
Private sessions are held in the comfort of your own home. We can tailor any of the group session curriculum to your needs so you get more of what you want to focus on and less of what you don’t.
You can choose the entire curriculum listed below as one package for $489 (the first option in the list) and we will discuss how to layout the schedule of classes. Or you can choose individual topics for $128 each and last about one hour.

Preparing for labour and birth
We’ll cover everything from what to pack in your hospital bag (yes, even if you are planning a home birth), how to prepare your living space (yes, even if you are not planning a home birth), what to buy, and when to call your midwife, doctor, and family.
