HypnoBirthing®, The Mongan Method, is considered the “Gold Standard” of birthing with hypnosis. It is a childbirth education method that empowers women to achieve more gentle, natural births. It is both a philosophy and a set of tools for using self-hypnosis techniques and scripts to achieve a focused awareness and level of relaxation that allows for a much more comfortable, easy birth. With HypnoBirthing® you will not be in a trance or sleep state. You will be aware and fully in control, but profoundly relaxed.

This 5-week class will be led by Julie Sullivan, a Certified Doula and Childbirth Educator. Pregnant women attend the classes with the support person of their choice: husband, life partner, family member, doula, labor companion, etc. Julie uses exciting and fun methods to engage you and your partner in the lessons and techniques.

Sleep deprivation is a serious struggle for many new families. Cara, a neonatal nurse, mom of four, and founder of Taking Cara Babies, has created a solution to help babies sleep so parents and families can thrive.

Over the past five years, Cara has helped thousands of families achieve more restful nights by teaching parents how to help their new babies sleep without crying or rigid schedules in her popular prenatal/newborn class "Will I Ever Sleep Again?" In this practical class, expectant and new parents will learn how to calm a fussy baby, read sleepy cues, set days and nights up for success, and truly thrive!

When you attend, you will observe Cara's methods in action as you see how to calm even the fussiest baby in the room. Furthermore, the live class has a special "Q and A" time where you can ask questions about your specific situation. When you leave, you will also receive access to the online class. Many parents find it helpful having the online class a quick refresher as their newborn grows and changes.

Hey Dad, how are you doing with your assigned reading? You know, that long, boring book (or books) you’re supposed to get through before baby is born? (We’re all in big trouble no matter what, so no use lying about it.) Maybe a book isn’t really the best way for you to learn how to take care of your partner and your new baby…? Created and taught by Brent Simmons, registered nurse and father of 4 young whippersnappers, this class eliminates all the fluffy stuff and gets straight to the point.

In this 2.5 hour class, you will learn:
-How to hold a fragile little newborn in your powerful Shrek hands without breaking it.
-Why your partner is acting crazy all of a sudden (and why you should keep your mouth shut).
-How to keep the poop on the inside of the diaper (and what to do when that’s not possible).
-Why sleep is for wusses (actually, it’s pretty important).

Becoming a father is a huge life change, with a massive increase in responsibility, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun while learning how to get there. Come meet other soon-to-be dads and get the real scoop from someone who’s been deep in the trenches of fatherhood and lived to tell the tale.

Breastfeeding consults by an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant - IBCLC in our comfortable lactation room, complete with a couch for dad and other family members! Our consultations usually last 1-1.5 hours allowing us time to talk and to evaluate a full feeding. We also have a very precise scale allowing us to tell how much milk baby takes in during a feeding, which most moms find helpful and reassuring. Many breastfeeding challenges can be resolved in one visit and others can be more of a work in progress. Either way, we will work with you to create a breastfeeding plan that you feel comfortable with and will follow-up with you as needed. You will receive educational information as well as a customized summary of our visit by e-mail.

We love helping moms with breastfeeding and we want to make sure you are successful with breastfeeding after your consultation. As part of the consultation, you will have unlimited advice from us via phone/email communication whenever you have questions at no additional charge. We are available to you as long as you continue to breastfeed and need our advice!
