Grounded birth education to build confidence.

Birth in NYC is different.
You deserve to understand how it really works.

Real, experience-based birth education for families planning hospital births in New York City.

Learn how to navigate labor with confidence, reduce unnecessary interventions, and feel truly supported — every step of the way.

The class NYC parents wish they took before giving birth.

After more than 20 years supporting families across NYC hospitals, one thing is clear:

The families who feel the most confident aren’t the ones who know the most
they’re the ones who understand how birth actually unfolds in this environment.

That’s what we teach here.

This 4-hour childbirth class in Brooklyn is designed for expectant parents who want clear, honest, fun and supportive birth education- without fear-based messaging or overwhelming information, while also honoring the hard working lifestyle of New Yorkers, who has time for weekly classes? Kerri’s class is curated to your hospital and provider and more importantly, to you.

If you're pregnant in NYC, this workshop will help you understand how labor actually works, what your options are, and how to make informed decisions that feel right for you and your family.

What to Expect

This comprehensive childbirth education class is a grounded, real-world experience designed to help you understand birth, trust your body, and move through labor with confidence and clarity.

Blending evidence-based education with 20+ years of hands-on experience in New York City hospitals, you’ll leave feeling prepared

Birth is one of the most important experiences of your life.
You deserve to enter it feeling confident, supported, and ready.

We won’t tell you how to give birth.

Newborn care workshop description

Please join us for this deep dive into what to expect and how to care for your baby when they arrive. This session includes hands-on practice for swaddling, changing diapers, and learning how to pick up, hold, soothe, and settle your baby for sleep. We will also discuss important decisions to make before the birth regarding hospital procedures, when to call the pediatrician (or go to the ER) and the “Golden Hour” (spoiler alert, baby’s first discovery of the breast as well as the first delicious moments of bonding.) This workshop is ideal for both parents or a parent and a caregiver. Single parents are most welcome as well!
