Our classes include both theory and practice.

We recommend that moms and dads-to-be attend the classes together.  If you prefer you may also attend single or with another family member or friend.

We meet 6 times for 3 hours during the week in the evenings or on the weekends to complete the 18-hour programme.

We recommend that you attend classes after your 16th week of pregnancy.

If the group schedule does not work for you or if you have special needs you might consider private classes. Please write to us to find out when or where our next class in English will take place: do-um@do-um.com
