Who Thought Childbirth Classes Could Be This Fun?

Join Joyful Birth’s Abbie Gibitz and connect with other future parents as she teaches this in-depth and interactive childbirth class! In this face-to-face setting, you will learn valuable skills that you just can’t get from a book or the Internet.

Group and private classes are held in Louisville throughout the year.

Shorter 2-3 hour childbirth classes can give you the basics, but there is power that comes from the knowledge you and your partner gain from a 6-week, in-depth childbirth education course! You will gain confidence as we dive deep and revisit key concepts week after week.

Your investment is well worth it. I promise!
