Designed for expecting couples who wish to best prepare for labour & delivery.

Who is it for?

This live class is for any pregnant woman and their birth partner (if applicable). We recommend taking the class in the second trimester to have your knowledge fresh in mind for birth, while having time to practice the exercises before Baby comes. Whether or not you are first-time parents, this class has been appreciated by all of our participants.

'When my partner and I attended Sophie's prenatal classes, my partner was eager to learn but somewhat unsure of his role in the process. This class was such a wonderful opportunity for him to feel part of our pregnancy in an active way. While I was in labour, he was able to provide concrete support beyond just words.

When it came time to make some challenging decisions in the middle of a difficult labour, he felt confident in joining me in those decisions as we both felt empowered by everything we learned in Sophie's course. We both could have felt like everything was out of our control, and while things did not unfold as we imagined, we were well-prepared to make informed choices and still feel grateful for that.' - Astrid Sideway-Wolf, participant
