The Bay Area’s Premiere
Childbirth Education Resource
Birth is not just another day and this is not just ‘another’ Childbirth Class!
❝We absolutely loved the BABE Birth Class! We arrived at the class feeling nervous, and left feeling so informed and confident about our upcoming first childbirth experience. The class is jam-packed with helpful info. I loved the interactivity, it was super engaging – the 8 hours literally flew by. It was EXTREMELY helpful for my husband; I feel like he will be such a better support partner during labor, birth, and postpartum now that we’ve attended this class. The breastfeeding section and infant CPR section were honestly so great. Felicia was amazing and helpful answering everyone’s questions. I can’t recommend this class enough! (Oh and the snacks were great!)❞

“For years it has been my pleasure to refer my patients to the BABE class taught by Felicia and team. It has been reported many times that the class was fun, respectful and it’s easy to see how prepared they are with questions and ideas of what they want their birth to be.”
John Fassett, MS CNM“Felicia (and team) provides very comprehensive birth & postpartum classes that are very informative and interactive for both the mother and partner, providing vital pre-delivery and postpartum information that is not in a large group or a boring lecture style. I would highly recommend Felicia for her doula services and prenatal classes!”
