CHILDBIRTH CLASSES

Prepare for your unique birth in the way that is right for you.

As of right now, all Childbirth classes are virtual. We have recorded our classes with the exact content of our in-person workshop and with Ana Paula teaching the class.  

 

We believe there is no single right way to prepare for birth, nor one right way to give birth. Our creative approach to childbirth classes brings together elements from our favorite education methods — Bradley, Lamaze, hypnosis for labor, and more — so you have all the tools you need for your upcoming birth.

WHEN TO TAKE OUR CLASS?

Most of our childbirth class participants are between 13 and 27 weeks of pregnancy, but you are always welcome to join us earlier or later in your pregnancy if that is what will work best for you.

In this virtual, recorded class, Ana Paula Markel draws on her experience as a birth doula, mother, and certified childbirth educator to offer expecting parents the most up-to-date prenatal education available today — and she makes it fun and engaging.

There is an overwhelming amount of information surrounding pregnancy and birth. In the midst of opinions from doctors, friends, family & birth professionals, how do you choose the best path for you?

At Bini, we strive to provide you with the most current, unbiased information to help you find a plan that works best for you and your family.
