  Class Agenda

  More Information

 

 

 

  • Classes are held at Northeast Christian Church on Brownsboro Road, just outside the Gene Synder in Louisville, KY (~12 miles from downtown Louisville, near the Summit Shopping Center)directions will be provided when you register.
     
  • Class size averages 4-6 couples and will not exceed 10 couples.
     
  • The charge is $75 for the 6 week series, a $10 deposit will confirm your enrollment, with the rest payable at the first class; other payment terms can be arranged.
     
  • Bring 2+ pillows and a blanket to sit on.  Wear comfortable clothes.  I will provide drinks and snacks during the class.
     
  • I am not currently taking doula clients.  The good news is there are many good doulas in Louisville, so check with www.birthcarenetwork.com, call 5-6 doulas, interview 2-3 in person and choose the one who feels right for you! Average fees in Louisville are $350, but money should never be the reason to not have a doula if you want one!   Most doulas will work on a sliding scale or payment plan.
     
  • My qualifications include certification by Lamaze International (www.lamaze.org) and the International Childbirth Educator’s Association (www.ICEA.org).  I am also a certified doula (labor support professional) through Doulas of North America (www.DONA.org) and ICEA and have attended approximately 100 births.  I was previously certified as a Bradley Method instructor and a Hypnobirthing instructor and incorporate techniques from both methods in my current classes.
