Childbirth Education Classes in Tucson, Arizona
If you don’t know your options, you don’t have any.
That is the foundation of childbirth education. Being an active participant in your own birth means knowing what your options are, how you feel about them, and what you would like to do if plans need to change. When you need to change course, being informed is what keeps you in the driver’s seat.
Our private childbirth education classes in Tucson are built around exactly that idea.
Private. Personalized. Taught in your home or live online.
Our childbirth education classes are taught one on one, either in your home or via Zoom. No groups. No generic content. Just you, your support person, and an experienced educator focused entirely on your questions, your birth setting, and your goals.
Classes are available to all families, whether this is your first baby or your fourth. If this is your first time, we’ve done the work of pulling it all together for you. You don’t have to spend hours searching for reliable information. It’s already here. If you have given birth before, a previous experience can be a powerful reason to want something different this time. What you need to know now may look nothing like what you needed before.
Two ways to learn.
You can take the Complete Childbirth Education Series, a six-hour class that covers all 11 modules from start to finish. This is our most comprehensive option and reflects a discount off individual module pricing.
Or you can build your own class. Choose the modules that matter most to your family and create a custom experience. Custom classes are taught live one on one via Zoom and require a minimum purchase.

A curriculum built here in southern Arizona, taught around the world.
Agency owner Angela Horn authored this evidence-based childbirth education curriculum in response to what modern families actually need. Hospitals, birth centers, and independent childbirth educators across the globe now teach it. The fact that it started here, and that you can learn it directly from the team that created it, is not something you will find anywhere else in Tucson.
