POSTNATAL PREPARATION COURSE
A PRACTICAL COURSE FOR PARENTS TO BE
“Emily’s passion for this subject area is so clear, and it is amazing to hear her talk knowledgeably about so many different areas”
This course provides a holistic approach to preparing for parenthood. We will cover the emotional, physical and practical aspects that will equip you with the knowledge and tools to navigate this transformational time.
