"Jodi's breadth of knowledge on pregnancy, birthing, and postpartum, paired with her approachable demeanor, made for the perfect combination.  I can't imagine approaching birth and postpartum without the knowledge I gained through Embracing Birth classes."-Claire
 

I have had the honor and priviledge of teaching Chilbirth Classes for 30 years, at a hospital in Madison and then for the last 15 years, on my own (even pivoting to teach via zoom for several years.)

Classes are in 2 parts.

Part 1: In-Person class on a Saturday or Sunday (see dates below). 1-6pm

Part 2: Zoom class, on the following Monday evening, 6-8pm
