General FAQs
-
First and foremost, a place to gather. We offer parent groups, prenatal and parenting classes, yoga and movement, events and consultations. Bring nearly any question about pregnancy, birth or early parenting, and we’ll answer it or connect you with someone who can.
-
Yes. Our classes and groups meet in the room at our San Jose space, so you learn alongside other parents at the same stage. A lot of life has moved online. Parenthood shouldn’t have to.
-
We welcome ALL families, including LGBTQ+, single-parent, adoptive, foster and surrogacy families, however your baby arrives and however you feed. Birth and feeding classes are designed for you and your support person, and most are priced per couple. Postpartum groups and baby classes are made for bringing the baby. Each class page notes who it’s for.
-
We opened in summer 2024 and are still growing. Tell us what you need and we’ll point you to the right class, group or local provider.

We aren’t contracted with insurance plans, but we can provide documentation for you to submit for possible reimbursement.

Planning a hospital birth: our complete 4-week Birthing with BAM series. Still exploring: start with Birthing 101, then add Practical Techniques. Or contact us and we’ll help you choose.
-

Breastfeeding has a learning curve. Take Lactation 101 in the final weeks of pregnancy. It’s geared to couples because support is key.
-
Yes. Classes are gentle and start with a check-in so you can share what you’d like to focus on. It may feel slower than an athletic practice, but it prepares you for labor, postpartum and parenting in new ways.
-
Anytime. Starting early brings the most benefit, but even one or two classes late in pregnancy help. No doctor’s note is needed. If you have a condition that affects movement, ask your provider for specific guidance.
