these courses will be a mixture of online and in person.

these will be ideal for women in their 2nd or 3rd trimester, but you are welcome to join anytime during your pregnancy
the price for these course will be reasonable and i will be offering an introductory price and payment plans options
this 3 'trimester' courses will be offered 3 times a year. each trimester is 13 weeks long. 'students' will receive assignments/activities monday-thursday with a video meeting on friday. we will have 4 in person groups during this time, where participants can meet face to face if local.
