LABOR DOULA AND POSTPARTUM CARE IN LOS ANGELES, CA
Childbirth Preparation Classes
As a childbirth Educator, I teach classes that are informative, fun and hands on. I can teach private classes at your home. I teach a six week series that includes not only the birth process, but interventions, procedures, pain medications used in labor, comfort measures, breathing exercises and also help you devise a birth plan. I also cover the newborn exam, and the postpartum period for both mom and baby. Each class is about 1 1/2 to 2 hours long.
I can also teach a one day 6 hour childbirth intensive class that covers the birth process, medications used in labor, hospital interventions and procedures, as well as labor signs and postpartum baby care.
I am available to teach privately week nights and on weekends. I will travel to the client's house and cover the San Fernando Valley and the Westside, including Santa Monica, Venice, Pacific Palisades, Marina Del Rey, Mar Vista, Manhattan Beach and Beverly Hills.
