Private, in-home childbirth education tailored to your family, covering labor, delivery, newborn care and postpartum recovery.
Preparing for the arrival of your baby is an exciting journey, but it can also feel overwhelming. That’s why I bring childbirth education to you, in the comfort of your home. With private, in-home childbirth classes, you’ll have the space to ask every question on your mind without judgment or embarrassment. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you and your family.
*We will travel to families in the Cincinnati, Dayton and Northern Kentucky area for childbirth classes. An additional $30 charge applies if the class location is more than 30 miles from Tamara’s home in Lebanon, Ohio.
As part of your class, you’ll also receive access to the Stork Helpers Pregnancy Portal until 12 weeks after your due date. The portal includes:
It was nice being able to be in the comfort of our home and have a one on one experience. Tamara was so awesome and super knowledgeable on everything labor and birth! Her class definitely took away a lot of the anxiety and fear I had around labor and giving birth. It loved being able to talk to someone who has had different kinds of birthing experiences herself and not just reading from others online about what to expect. If you have any fears or just want a better idea of what to expect, I highly suggest booking a class with Tamara!
Your body knows how to prepare for birth, but understanding what’s happening can help you feel more confident. We’ll talk about the stages of labor—effacement, dilation, and when your baby descends into the birth canal—and how to listen to what your body is telling you.
From early labor to postpartum recovery, we’ll guide you step-by-step:
Your birth is your story, and it should reflect your choices. Whether you’re planning a natural birth, a medicated delivery, or a water birth, we’ll discuss your options, from delayed cord clamping to birthing positions. You’ll leave with a plan that works for you, no matter where you choose to deliver.
Feeling nervous? That’s completely normal. We’ll explore relaxation methods that can help you stay calm and focused, create the environment you want, and manage stress so it doesn’t interfere with your labor.
Every family’s journey is unique. Whether you’re considering a natural birth or pain medication, we’ll discuss the differences, what to expect, and how to make the choice that’s right for you.
The standard “on your back” position isn’t your only option. We’ll explore alternatives like side-lying, kneeling, standing, and even water birthing positions, empowering you to find what works best for you and your baby.
Hospitals can feel overwhelming, especially when faced with so many decisions for your newborn. We’ll walk you through what to expect, from newborn care to vaccinations and feeding options, so you feel prepared to make choices confidently.

Breastfeeding can be a beautiful bonding experience, but it’s not the right choice for everyone, and that’s okay. I’ve been there—I’ve bottle-fed, breastfed, and done both. We’ll talk about the pros and cons of each option and help you make an informed choice that’s best for your family.
Postpartum can be a time of joy, but it can also be incredibly challenging. We’ll talk honestly about what to expect, from hormonal shifts to emotional changes. You’ll leave with practical advice on how to care for yourself and your baby during this important time—and most importantly, you’ll know that you’re not alone.
Most classes last 4-6 hours, but we’ll take as much time as you need to feel prepared.
Just yourself, your partner or support person, and any questions you have! I’ll provide everything else.
Absolutely! We’re happy to work with your schedule.
