Classes

Three types of classes are offered at our offices. Read below for more information.


Birth Your Way Childbirth Preparation Classes

Our childbirth preparation classes are offered at our office by Teresa Fischer, a childbirth preparation instructor and certified doula, whose desire it is to help you make your birth uniquely yours. Click here to learn more about Teresa's work as a birth doula.

This series recommended for first-time parents and for couples whose previous classes did not prepare them for natural birth. Teresa uses many interesting and innovative teaching methods. A couple who previously birthed with the midwives will speak at your class. Movies, hands-on activities, and a labor rehearsal keep the class interesting.

Classes are grouped into a five week series costing $150. To find out when a new series begins, please call the office during normal business hours at (908) 852-3443.

  • Learn methods to help you cope with the physical and emotional demands of your child's birth day.
  • You and your partner will gain insight into the wonder and challenge of childbirth.
  • Interact with other women, especially those who have had positive birth experiences.
  • Meet other clients in the practice and make friends.
What couples have to say about our classes...
"I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful class. We miss it already! My husband told me the other night that he really feels like he's ready to help me thru labor and delivery and that he really learned a lot from your class. I feel so much better after taking the class too, I actually feel like I can do this. I'm looking forward to knowing that I'm in labor and experiencing the whole thing. You've helped us to know that we can really do this! Thanks again, it was wonderful getting to know you and hearing all about your experiences. I will call/email you after the big event and let you know how many times I heard you coaching us thru it! "
