Hi! I’m Denise Curtis. I’m a CAPPA Certified Labor & Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator, and HypnoBirthing® Certified Educator in the Los Angeles area. I’ve helped thousands of families just like yours learn what to expect and how to face birth with confidence and readiness.
In a private class, every minute is about YOU. I tailor the curriculum to your specific questions, your birth preferences, and your comfort level. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, birth center, or home birth — medicated or unmedicated — I’ll make sure you feel fully prepared.
“I want an unmedicated birth but have no clue how to achieve that.”
“I don’t know what my rights are and I don’t want the providers doing things that I may not need or be okay with.”
The birth space is sacred and you should have full control over what that space looks and feels like at all times. Let’s get together and get you fully prepared.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the class?
This is an 8-hour private class, split into two 4-hour sessions scheduled at your convenience.
Is this class in-person or virtual?
Both! You can choose in-person (at your home in the Los Angeles area) or virtual via Zoom — whichever is most comfortable for you.
Can I bring my birth partner?
Absolutely! It’s best to bring whomever you plan to have as your main support person at your birth. That can be your spouse, significant other, friend, parent, or birth partner.
When is the ideal time to take this class?
The ideal time is toward the end of your 2nd trimester, but this class is open to individuals at any stage of pregnancy. Some take it in the first trimester to ease anxiety, while others prefer the third trimester so the information is fresh.
How much does the class cost?
This private childbirth education class is $799 per couple. Payment plans are available — contact me to inquire.
Do you take insurance?
I do not take insurance directly. However, most insurance plans cover part or all of a childbirth education class expense. Check with your insurance company or employer. Classes are also eligible for reimbursement with an HSA/FSA/HRA account. Check if your employer has Carrot Fertility — they cover childbirth education. A detailed superbill and class outline can be provided for insurance reimbursement upon request.
