716 Birth

"We learned so much in Tara's class! I was nervous it was going to be basic information that is common sense, but that was not the case at all. She really prepares you for birth and gives you good information to be your own advocate."

Student testimonial:

We took Tara's birthing class in December 2024. We were very happy with our experience then, but now that I've given birth I felt compelled to come back and say just how valuable that class was. I was terrified of giving birth before this class, but after everything I learned, I felt so much more comfortable going through labor and delivery. My labor and delivery went extremely well, and while a lot of that is luck, a lot of it was also due to me just feeling prepared for it all because of all of the information Tara gave me. Even during the not fun parts, I knew what to do and felt confident the entire time. Thank you Tara for helping to make bringing my son into the world a much more positive experience than I could have envisioned!

Call 716.681.8100 to register for any upcoming class! I've got a few spots left in April and May!

This is one of my favorite things I've ever done, professionally. Give a listen! 😍

Student Testimonial:

"I enjoyed having information relevant to our area- information has always been very valuable to me, and being able to relate statistics to the area that we are in, helped to put a lot of the info that we learned into perspective! Additionally, all the information was presented in a way that was very easy to understand. Having an instructor who was able to and valued sharing real world experiences made this class much more immersive- especially for information that would have been otherwise difficult to understand. Also having demonstrations and hands on practice with tools helped put a lot of our anxiety at ease. It made all the difference, coming out of this class we feel very much prepared to face childbirth, and we are excited to share the information we learned with others in our lives!" ~Magen P.

Student Testimonial:

"Not only were the classes EXTREMELY helpful, but they were also engaging! Tara was knowledgeable, funny, kind and helpful. Each class was organized with handouts with visuals where we could write down notes. There were also many hands-on learning opportunities. I feel so much more confident going into my first delivery and thank Tara for providing us with the information we needed to understand the birthing process. HIGHLY recommend! My husband also enjoyed the class more than he expected; he understands his role and how he can help during labor. This class exceeded our expectations!" ~Maya R.

Student Testimonial:

"I loved so many things about this class! Tara has a wealth of knowledge and is so passionate about birth and making sure you are well educated on your options. The class is organized and delivered in a way that allows room for conversation and questions, while also keeping the content relevant and real! The resources and information Tara provided to us was unbiased and backed by years of education and research. My husband and I went into this class not knowing much about birth, and after completing the class we feel confident and empowered with enough information to make educated and healthy decisions for our family. We are so thankful and grateful for the opportunity to work with Tara!" ~Alyssa R.

Student testimonial:

"Tara's 3 Week Childbirth Class at Baby Sweet Beginnings is a fantastic course to take if you are wanting to prepare for childbirth and knowing what to expect. The course covered so many topics around birth; the stages of labor, medical interventions, different pain management techniques (pain medicine and natural), afterbirth newborn procedures, postpartum, and more. Tara's knowledge and shared experience really makes the class and we feel much more prepared and ready to go into labor with everything that we learned. She did a great job keeping the sections interesting and it was super helpful when she provided mom or dad tips on what to expect and what mom can do to cope or what dad can to do help mom. Going into class there were some topics I already knew about that I had felt anxious about the information I knew and Tara's insight helped me feel more calm about them and not be as nervous. We really enjoyed her class and learned so much! The information Tara teaches in this class is invaluable and I highly recommend taking her class to anyone who is expecting!" ~Nicole M.
