How much do you charge?
Each service is priced differently. You'll have to drop me a line to get prices for
the particular service you are interested in.
What if I can't afford your fees?
We can always work something out. Anyone that wants to take one of my classes will be accepted
regardless of ability to pay in full. All other fees are negotiable if you are unable to pay the full amount.
Do you offer discounts?
I offer a 25% discount in my Bradley (r) class if you refer a friend who also takes the
class. If you sign up for more than one class or service, you get a 10% discount on the more expensive one.
Do you suggest taking the classes early in my pregnancy or later?
This is a personal choice.
If you take it early, you get the benefit of knowing about the nutritional aspect earlier on in the pregnancy which will be
good for you and your baby. Most couples do tend to take the class later in their pregnancy. If you sign up for a series which
ends well before your due date, you can come back to as many classes as you would like before your baby is born.
What kind of tub do you rent?
I rent the La Bassine (http://www.yourwaterbirth.com/labassine.shtml)
which is a fantastic tub. It has handles on the inside which are very useful. It has an inflated bottom, which makes it very
comfortable. I include the pump, drinking grade hose, and a temperature gauge with the rental. I also include a siphon to
remove the water after your birth.
Does it have to be my "husband" who takes the class with me and is my coach?
Certainly not!! We've
had lesbian couples take our class and single mother's take our class. The idea is that you have someone you love and
who is a calming and supportive presence. When a person like that becomes a trained coach, you are waaay ahead of the game
and you increase your chances of having a beautiful birth experience greatly. If you are committed to having a natural birth,
but your husband is not into the idea, contact me and we can talk. Bill is open to talking with dads who are not into the
idea.
