Combining the best evidence, mindfulness skills, body-centered awareness, and practical education, this may be the most comprehensive childbirth education course available.

The series curriculum is developed and taught by Erica Kroll, LPC, and integrates her years of practical birth experience as an educator, doula, mindfulness instructor, and counselor. Erica will help parents to develop trust in their resiliency to move through birth and early postpartum no matter how these events unfold.
