    We have relocated to Benicia, California, and are thrilled to offer couples not only birth classes, but the opportunity to combine classes with a babymoon.

    Similar to a honeymoon, couples will be able to get away and focus upon each other.

    The Birthing Basics class is held on Sunday afternoons from 2-4 pm.  This private, small class meets downtown and provides an overview of the labor process.  Couples will spend an hour learning breathing and relaxation techniques.

    Stay at the Inn & Spa at Benicia Bay and take advantage of a special package that includes room, jacuzzi, couples massage, full breakfast and dinner.  Benicia offers much to explore: historic downtown, art galleries, the water front and San Francisco bay trails.

    For the budget conscious, coming to Benicia for birth classes is a great day trip, and excellent way to spend time together, celebrating, and preparing for your new baby.

    Congratulations!

    Portrait of a smiling young pregnant woman wit... Pregnant couples today can receive pregnancy and birth related information at a click, straight to their phone or laptop computer.  They often watch real birth videos on the internet, and google all about epidurals.  So attending a six-week long childbirth or Lamaze class may not appeal to the new generation.

    What does appeal  to younger expecting families are short, practical, intimate learning sessions.  Couples today want to be involved and participate in classes, not sit still for a 2 hour lecture.

    A childbirth class that combines prenatal yoga is one example of how to reinvent.  Small classes or private classes that engage couples allowing them to ask questions in a comfortable setting is a new template for childbirth education.
