1. Watch
You get the class as video, to watch at your own pace — together with your partner, on your own schedule, as many times as you like.
Private & online · In person around Chicago on Sundays
Classes
Every class is private and taught around you — no script, no room full of strangers. Most people come between 24 and 34 weeks, though there is no wrong time.
How it works
2. Talk it through
Then you book one-to-one time with Rita to ask everything the video raised — about your pregnancy, your hospital, your plan.
3. Hands on, if you want it
Local to Chicago? Optional in-person practice on Sundays — comfort measures, positioning, the things hands have to learn.
Everything offered
Authentic Birthing
You do not need to learn how to give birth. What you need is information you can trust and a sense of what your options actually are. We cover the stages of labor, positioning, pain medication and what each choice really involves, comfort measures, and what recovery looks like once you are home.
Fourth Trimester: Postpartum Recovery & Newborn Care
The first twelve weeks, honestly. Physical healing, hormones, pelvic floor recovery, feeding, sleep, newborn care, infant massage, and what a partner can actually do that helps.
Comfort Measures & Refresher
Breathing, relaxation, optimal positioning, massage, acupressure, and how to support someone in labor without hovering. Good as a refresher if this is not your first baby.
Breastfeeding Without Rules
Latch and positioning, reading feeding cues, choosing a pump that suits you, and going back to work without losing your mind.
Newborn Care & Infant Massage
Reading newborn cues, bathing, swaddling, diapering, and infant massage you can actually keep doing at home.
