PRENATAL CLASSES
My prenatal classes are perfect for first time parents looking for accurate information about what to expect and how to best prepare. With over 13 years of experience working with families in labour & delivery I strive to ease your anxiety and help you feel prepared for baby's arrival.
MAMABEAR TRUTH:
Birth is like riding a wave. Just when you feel like you’ve got a handle on the contractions, another, stronger one comes along. The best way to handle it is by going with the flow, knowing what your options are and being open to whatever will happen.
I take the stress out of trying to figure out what all the medical jargon means.
The benefit of my prenatal classes is that I address your concerns and questions, and cater the information to best support you, your partner and your pregnancy. Your baby has already decided how he/she is going to make their entrance into the world and the best thing you can do is to be informed. Couples that take my class feel prepared, less anxious and supported. They have the information they need in order to make informed decisions.
My prenatal classes include the following information: signs of labour, how your body prepares for labour, when to go into the hospital, how your partner can best support you, coping mechanisms, pain medication options, what happens when you go to the hospital, what is an induction, explaining the different ways to deliver, what to expect if you’re having a c-section, breastfeeding, basics like diaper changing, bathing, and safe swaddling, and postpartum care of Mama and baby.

“We just took Agnes's Prenatal Class and it was amazing!!! She provides small classes where you can ask any question you'd like. She is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, and helps put all your fears at ease. The more information you have, the better you are equipped to handle new challenges in your life. And Agnes really helps you walk out of the class feeling knowledgeable and ready for your new adventure. It's worth every penny! She also provides lots of support and further classes and meet-ups, so you don't feel alone and you are always supported. If you are expecting, I would really recommend her class. You're not alone in this, you have support with Agnes!”

“My husband and I did the prenatal workshop with Agnes in June 2018. Let me just say that I was extremely blown away by the amount of information that we left with that day. We went through everything from beginning to end and Agnes let us interrupt her many times with questions! It was a small group, which I liked, and in the comfort of her home. She was well prepared and provided us with everything she discussed with us in an email attachment for us to use after our class. I would definitely recommend taking this class with Agnes to get all of your questions out, to learn about pregnancy and birth and to be that much more prepared through this journey. Agnes even advised the class that we could contact her anytime with questions and/or concerns. I will be booking more classes for sure. Thank you, Agnes!”

“We did a private prenatal class with Agnes with the CPR option. Even though we had never met her before, from the moment she arrived it felt like we were hanging out with a good friend. Agnes was very professional, knowledgeable, and fun. Our day was 5 1/2 hours and the time flew by because she made the whole experience fun. I would highly recommend her for pre- and post-natal and of course the CPR. I feel so much more comfortable welcoming our baby into the world in 5 weeks because of Agnes.”
