“I typically don’t like taking virtual classes, I become distracted and bored, but all the classes I took here were very engaging and had me looking inward at what I wanted and how to achieve that, I really didn’t expect that. I loved listening to Anna!”

“I took Intro to Childbirth, Bringing Home Baby, and Breastfeeding through Birth and Baby. All of these classes were excellent and we used the workbooks during labor, and we’ve been using them so frequently after baby came to help us navigate all of the challenging things with our new baby.”

“The Birth and Baby University classes are comprehensive and highly informational. The classes are geared for couples who want to have an empowering and positive perinatal experience– Education is the first step. I cannot recommend enough!”

“Classes are amazing. Clear information, and the advantage of taking them at my own pace. They give the reassurance of being well prepared for labor, birth, breastfeeding, taking good care of the baby and the process of going through this meaningful time in our life.”

“My husband and I LOVE Dana- her hypnobirthing class is in my opinion a must-take for those seeking a natural birth. I have learned to let go of any fear & anxiety I may have associated with birth, and I feel like the relaxation techniques I have learned will carry me through life in general. I love Dana, she is so genuine, kind, very knowledgeable, and an AMAZING instructor!”

“I recently took the self-paced Intro to Childbirth class and it was absolutely amazing, I can listen to Anna’s voice all day long! I feel like this class definitely prepared me and my husband for our upcoming birth, we learned a bunch of coping techniques, what to expect in labor, and all of our options. I do really think this is a great class for first time parents. We also got a really cute booklet which was super helpful and informational! Highly recommend!”

“I really do feel a lot more at ease after taking the self pace Breastfeeding class taught by Anna- it’s very very informative, easy to understand, and I will say listening to Anna has really made me feel a lot less overwhelmed about breastfeeding. I can’t wait to have my little one and begin my BF journey!!!!”

“Bryn’s Preparing for your Hospital Birth was a really great class, I feel like I learned so much about my options in Chicago. I will say if this is your first baby and you want to learn about what to expect in a hospital setting-like birth, take this class”

“We attended the Bringing Home Baby class and it was very helpful! Lots of great information, and for being a 4 hour long class it was surprisingly easy to stay attentive!”

“Can’t say enough about Chelsea and the experience that we had with her at Chicago Family Doulas! She made the Intro to Childbirth class interactive, fun and answered all the questions we may have had. It gave my wife and I the confidence we needed for having our first baby. Thank you Chicago Family Doulas!”

“The Bringing Home Baby class was very helpful and made my husband and me feel more prepared to bring home a newborn as new parents. The class covered topics like postpartum recovery for moms, swaddling and diapering, baby carriers and car seat safety, and more. Having done a lot of preparation for labor, this class allowed us to learn a bit more about actually caring for a baby. We left with a lot of great information that helped us feel more at ease once our baby arrived. This is definitely a great class for new parents.”

“We attended several classes CFD offered to help us to transition to parenthood. (Hypnobirthing, Bringing Baby Home, Breastfeeding, etc.) We’ve loved everyone we met through their company. We are grateful for Anna and her staff. A++++++”

“My spouse and I took a ‘Bringing Home Baby’ class recently and learned so much important info and it was such a wonderful inviting and open space to grow. Really appreciated the small class size and how much the instructor shared with us and was open to different experiences and questions we had. Highly recommend!”
