When is the best time to start with the courses?

You are welcome to take the course at any point in your pregnancy and parenting journey.

I do often suggest to begin the course with “Birthing with Confidence” around your 24-26th week. This way, you finish the just as you are about to enter your third trimester; and you go into it with a greater understanding of how you can spend the remaining weeks of your pregnancy in preparation for birth.

​​

If, however, you are already well in your third trimester, DON’T DESPAIR! Even if you are already in your 38th week, you will still benefit from the courses. You can pick the Self-Paced Recorded option, and you can finish the course as fast as you need to.

For both “Breastfeeding with Confidence” and “Parenting with Confidence”, I recommend taking the course after “Birthing with Confidence”, and towards the end of your pregnancy.


I have already given birth, can I still take the Breastfeeding and Parenting Courses?

​​

DEFINITELY! It’s not too late! It’s never too late!

In fact, the breastfeeding and parenting courses are enriched because of your on-the-spot application, questions, and sharing of experiences. I have observed that families who have already given birth love the Self-Paced Recorded format.

 

What is the difference between the three courses?

Think of the three courses as a continuum learning experience. “Birthing with Confidence” talks about the period of pregnancy, the day of birth, and the immediate postpartum period. “Breastfeeding with Confidence”, is all about breastfeeding, and can be taken before or after giving birth. “Parenting with Confidence” picks up from where you left off during the immediate postpartum period and on to your life with a newborn for the first three to six months.

There are some content that overlap to ensure a seamless flow of ideas and to help you learn through repetition and deepening activities.

​​

How are the private class, group live class, and self-paced class different?

​​

All courses are presented with the same materials during the course discussion, as well as the same worksheets and handouts. The main difference is your level of interaction with me and the pace of the course.
 

The choice to go with a private class, group class, recorded class often rests on specific situation such as your location, schedule, learning styles, and budget.

 

How are the online classes different from the face to face classes?

The main difference is that in face to face classes, we are in the same physical space; an in online classes, we are connecting via technology.

Although all materials during the courses are the same, the two formats are also executed differently to fit the specific format. For example, in an online class, we limit the call to two hours because anything more than that is taxing. However with a face to face class, we can have the class for one full day. All of these adjustments are done to offer different options to families who wish to take the course, without compromising the experience.

 

For the Self-Pace Recorded Classes, do I get access to all materials at once?
 

Yes. This way, you can determine your own pace and schedule. You can even finish watching all the videos in one day, if you want.

For how long can I have access to the Self-Paced Recorded Classes? Does the portal allow for replays or can the lessons only be viewed once?​

The birth class will be available until around 60 days after your estimated date of delivery, and the breastfeeding and parenting classes will be available until around 90 days after your estimated date of delivery. You can watch and re-watch as many times as you wish during this time frame.
 

I do highly recommend that you watch and study ALL the courses prior to giving birth--even just to go through a quick single run through. It is so much more effective to be prepared than to squeeze in the courses once your baby has arrived.

​​

 

How are the classes conducted online?

​​

Yes. All live classes are conducted via Zoom. Handouts and worksheets are sent via email. Follow-up and discussions are done via Viber or other messaging apps.

​​

For the Self-Paced Recorded Classes, the access is granted via Thinkific online course platform.

 

Can I enroll with Birthing with Confidence for face to face classes, and then take the Parenting with confidence online, or different combinations?

​

Yes! You can definitely enroll in one course for face to face, and take another class online. Let's maximize the two formats to fit your needs.
 

​

Is my spouse/birth partner welcome to join the class? Is the learning fee for the both of us already?

YES!!! Your spouse/birth partner is a crucial part of your birthing process and is most welcome to join—I would even go as far as saying that s/he is REQUIRED to join. 😊 The class activities and discussions are designed to be a learning experience for both the BIRTHING PERSON and THE BIRTH PARTNER. But please don’t let it be a hindrance if your partner is unavailable to join the sessions online or live.

The fee covers you and your birth partner.
