What My Clients Say

My husband and I also ended up taking her in person childbirth class and highly recommend that as well! 10/10 all around. There was never a topic or issue I had that she wasn't able to assist with.

We took her classes privately. They were clear, organized, and provided us with confidence. Denise was able to answer all our questions and provide us with resources. We find ourselves referring back to the printed packets she gave us.

Denise came to our home to do in birth classes, came to our home to put together our birth plan with us, came to our home before birth for baby care basics classes. Denise was everything and more in what I wanted and she made me feel confident and supported.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the class?

This is a 4-hour private class, scheduled at a time that works for you.

Is this class in-person or virtual?

This class is in-person only, held at your home in the Los Angeles area. The hands-on nature of infant care instruction is best done in person with demonstration.

When should I take this class?

Most families take this class in the third trimester to feel prepared before baby arrives. It’s also great for new parents in the first weeks after birth.

Is this class just for first-time parents?

Not at all! Many experienced parents take this class as a refresher, especially if it’s been a few years since their last baby. Guidelines and best practices evolve.

How much does the class cost?

This private infant care class is $500. Payment plans are available — contact me to inquire.

Do you take insurance?

I do not take insurance directly. However, classes are eligible for reimbursement with an HSA/FSA/HRA account. A detailed superbill can be provided upon request.
