This Couples Connection Class is unlike any other class you might take in preparation for birth. You can’t predict or plan for birth, not really. But you can set yourselves up to be present to one another, to focus on what really matters, and to feel deeply connected as a family even before your baby arrives. 

Couples Connection is about solidifying your couple relationship in preparation for labor and birth. There will be practical hands-on experiences focused on the role of the partner and what they can do specifically to help you cope with your contractions.

You will learn how to create your own “Connection Bubble” the term I use to create a special bond between you and your partner so that no matter how your birth unfolds, your baby can be born in to this deep, strong connection that you share already.

Barb’s fascinated with the science behind the “Couples Connection” classes she created to help strengthen the connection between the birthing person and their partner, so that no matter how birth unfolds, their baby can be born into that strong and loving connection. She believes that connection is everything… and it begins with birth.

Refunds are only available when a booking is canceled at least two weeks in advance of the class start date.
