Enjoy the privacy and convenience of a private antenatal class at your home for you and your partner
The real benefit of a one-to-one course is that it can be completely bespoke-created to ensure you cover the topics you are most interested in, and which are most relevant to you and your partner.
Our high-profile clients very often choose a private class at home due to the privacy and convenience this offers.
Below is a suggested two session course which covers all the topics covered in the main Birth & Beyond course.
