FAQ
► Is this course right for me if I want more than a short overview? Yes. This comprehensive series is designed for parents who want time to slow down, go deeper, and integrate what they’re learning. We move beyond surface-level information to support real understanding and preparation. ► How is this different from the Fast Track class? The comprehensive course offers more time and space. Across multiple sessions, we explore pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum with room for reflection, practice, and discussion—rather than covering essentials in a single weekend. ► Do I need prior childbirth education or experience to take this course? No. You don’t need to arrive with prior classes or background knowledge. The course meets you where you are and builds understanding step by step over time. ► Are sliding scale or Green Bottle options available? Yes. Sliding scale and Green Bottle pricing are offered through access codes. If you’ve received a code, you can enter it at checkout. To request a code, email [email protected].
