Courses

Your baby is almost here — and suddenly there are a lot of questions.

Join Tina Goldstein for this hands-on deep dive into everything you need to know before your baby arrives. This session covers the real, practical stuff: swaddling, diaper changes, and how to pick up, hold, soothe, and settle your newborn for sleep. We’ll also walk through key decisions to make before birth, hospital procedures, when to call the pediatrician, when to head to the ER and the “Golden Hour,” that magical first window of bonding and baby’s first experience of feeding.

This workshop is ideal for both parents, or a parent and a caregiver. Single parents are absolutely welcome.

Birth in NYC is different. You deserve to understand how it really works.

Real, experience-based birth education for families planning hospital births in New York City — learn how to navigate labor with confidence, reduce unnecessary interventions, and feel truly supported every step of the way.

The class NYC parents wish they’d taken before giving birth.

After more than 20 years supporting families across NYC hospitals, one thing is clear: the families who feel the most confident aren’t necessarily the ones who know the most — they’re the ones who understand how birth actually unfolds in this environment.

That’s what we teach here.

This 4-hour childbirth class is designed for expectant parents who want clear, honest, fun, and supportive birth education — without fear-based messaging or information overload. Because let’s be real: who has time for weekly classes? Kerri’s class is tailored to your specific hospital, your provider, and most importantly — to you.

If you’re pregnant in NYC, this workshop will help you understand how labor actually works, what your options are, and how to make decisions that feel right for your family.

What to Expect

This is a grounded, real-world experience designed to help you understand birth, trust your body, and move through labor with confidence and clarity.

Blending evidence-based education with 20+ years of hands-on experience in NYC hospitals, you’ll leave feeling genuinely prepared — not overwhelmed.

Birth is one of the most important experiences of your life. You deserve to enter it feeling confident, supported, and ready.

We won’t tell you how to give birth. We’ll teach you how to understand your options, know what’s normal, and make decisions that feel right for your family.

• Partners who want to show up with confidence, calm, and real tools for support
