Elissa and Billee are both strong advocates of childbirth education for pregnant women and their partners. Their love of the pregnancy and birth experience help women to enjoy this special time in their lives. The Childbirth Education classes provide couples with knowledge of evidence-based care in pregnancy, birth and the newborn period. As expectant parents discover their own strengths and intuitions, they are able to make choices that will support them in their birth experience, and serve them well as they grow and mature as a family.
