Classes & Services
Antenatal classes, complementary therapies and workshops to support you throughout your journey.
Approaching birth with confidence
Theory, body work, relaxation, sharing and rituals: the classes take place between 24 and 36 weeks of pregnancy (the recommended timing), so that you arrive at the big day prepared, together.
In practice
- 5 sessions for a first child: CHF 400 per couple
