My work as a Childbirth Educator has been a "front" since my OWN "baby" was born almost 23 years ago! Yes, I teach about what to expect in labor and birth, but what I'm REALLY trying to do is babyproof the couple relationship!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Officially, I've been teaching Becoming Us Classes for the past 5 years and there are several hundred families that would tell you it was some of the best preparation ever for strengthening their relationship as they were starting a family, or getting their relationship back on track once they'd brought a little person into the world.​​​​​​​​

When 92% of couples report increased conflict after the birth of their first baby, and 67% are still experiencing relationship dissatisfaction 3 years after they started their family, we know there's an issue...​​​​​​​​
