The best option for first-time expectant parents is our 2-session package, which includes the following at a discounted price of $775 for pregnant parent + 1-2 labor support partner(s):
Birth prep session (stages of labor, natural pain management techniques, strategies to avoid unnecessary intervention and labor positions) (separately priced at $400, ~3.5 hours)
Breast/chestfeeding & Newborn Care session (separately priced at $400, 3-3.5 hours)
Or you can choose just ONE of the following sessions to suit your needs:
Other options:
Birth refresher session ($300, ~2.5 hours) - for those who have given birth and taken classes in a prior pregnancy
Newborn care session ($350, ~3 hours) - for adoptive parents, surrogacy parents, or anyone who doesn't need to cover bodyfeeding/breastfeeding
Also included with any private coaching is the Birth Matters class "textbook" PDF articles, supplemental Google Drive reference files, and YouTube playlist — all continually curated by instructor Lisa. These materials offer immensely valuable reference guides for labor, birth, and early parenting. Lisa can also provide other customized resources as needed/desired.
Inquire about semi-private special pricing if you and 1 or more other couples would like to attend together.
Location: Sessions can be done virtually (Zoom), in Lisa’s living room classroom in Astoria, or possibly in your NYC home (considered on a case-by-case basis).
FSA/HSA cards accepted; contact your card provider if you encounter problems as they sometimes put restrictions on the card that need to be lifted/adjusted. Inquire with your insurer to determine eligibility for insurance reimbursement (see FAQ); Lisa is happy to provide an itemized receipt to your insurer's specifications upon request.
