MotheRetreat offers private childbirth education classes in Miami and across South Florida, in person at your home or online. Many families look for a Lamaze class or the Bradley Method: those are certified programs, and our modern format covers the same ground, from breathing and labor positions to newborn care, in about 6 hours split into 2 sessions. We practice hands-on and you can invite all your family members.
Many families take these classes alongside a birth doula in Miami, then continue with postpartum support in Miami once the baby is home. We teach across South Florida: Miami, Coral Gables, Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and nearby cities.
Our birthing classes comprise four sessions, starting with a childbirth preparation class:
Flexible payment plans. Pay over time with Affirm — as low as 0% APR, interest-free plans available.

A plain-language guide to what postpartum doulas actually do, how daytime and overnight support differ, and how it’s different from a night nurse.
At your home, privately, anywhere in Miami and South Florida. No group, no drive after work — just you, your partner and the instructor at your kitchen table.
It is a modern, adapted childbirth class that covers what families look for in Lamaze or Bradley: stages of labor, breathing and relaxation, positions, comfort measures, the partner's role and the hospital process. It is not a certified Lamaze or Bradley course and does not issue those certificates.
Most couples take it in the third trimester, leaving a few weeks before the due date to practice. Earlier is fine too, and we can split the material into shorter sessions.
Signs of labor, stages of labor and delivery, pain-relief options, positions and breathing, what happens at the hospital, the first hours after birth, and how your partner can help at each stage.
Yes. The new-parent class covers newborn care, safe sleep, soothing, bathing and the basics of breastfeeding and bottle feeding. Many families take it together with the childbirth class.
