Doulas of Raleigh’s new parent education classes are the one-stop-shop resource for families seeking comprehensive, evidence-based information that supports them in navigating childbirth, newborn care, and infant feeding.
“As you prepare to embark on life’s greatest adventure, we invite you to lean into the invaluable experience that is birth and new parent education.”
Attendees of our classes reported feeling more confident and empowered as the knowledge they obtained reduced their anxiety and increased their partnership bond!
“We’ve loved Doulas of Raleigh! We originally went to their birthing class which was very informative and helpful. Our teacher was very personable and took the time to answer everyone’s questions.”
Our classes are offered as either group or private classes.
Register for an upcoming group class by following the links below or reach out directly to schedule a private class in the comfort of your own home.
Our new parent education offerings include:
Childbirth Education - The Birth Masters Masterclass - $135
This modern day childbirth education class steers clear of methodology and focuses on facts - the kind of evidence-based facts that enable expectant parents to decipher through the plethora of information out there. It enables them to zero in on what makes sense to them and what they desire the birth of their baby to look and feel like.
When preparation and confidence meet, families have less fear and enjoy a more fulfilled birth experience.
The Birth Masters Masterclass accommodates busy schedules. This one day, four hour comprehensive course will leave you and your partner with a clear understanding of the stages of birth, how to communicate your needs, possible interventions (including the benefits and risks of each) and the tools, tips, and positions that can ease the discomfort of labor.
