Antenatal Group Classes

The group classes will be able to resume in the Glenview Hotel in Oct. 2020, however, in view of everyone's health and safety, strict safety, and hygiene procedures will be in order. These procedures will depend on the COVID-19 situation at the time of the scheduled class and I will inform you closer to the date.  Groups will be kept small to a limit of 6 couples to be able to accommodate appropriate social distancing between the couples.

Antenatal Breastfeeding Class

During the antenatal breastfeeding class, we focus on the early days of breastfeeding, how breastfeeding works, what's normal and what's not, what to expect, and what you can do to help breastfeeding go well for you and your baby. At present this 90 min. breastfeeding class is only available via an online ZOOM class. Costs €20 including backup email and 15 min. video call when your baby is born. From September onwards these classes may take place again in an actual group setting. Venue to be confirmed.

Lisolette is such a lovely warm person who inspired confidence in me. Baby number 1 is so daunting and I knew very little about the birth process but Lisolette went through all options and the process and I feel calmer knowing what to expect. Her class is so personable and I loved that approach. Thank you so much

ANNA VANBECK

Excellent, would highly recommended this one day course, handy to get everything done in a day, very informative and helpful! Liselotte is very calming, has answers and info to any questions you may have and puts your mind at ease. Thank you Liselotte for a great day!

MARY D'HAVEE

Really informative class in a relaxed setting. Highly recommended.

​Very clear and concise. Good balance of argument for natural vs assisted birth methods
