Pumping & Feeding Gear...a workshop for health professionals

Birthy Biz in Common Networking Meeting

Optimizing Pregnancy and Birth

5 hours @ $185.00

Birth Circle

3 hours @ $10.00

A Birth Circle is an informational, inspirational, fun event where parents and parents-to-be come to talk about birth in a safe environment, without judgment.

Open to those who have personally given birth or plan to someday. $10. If you have MassHealth, $5. WIC, free.
