About Us

Welcome to my chapter! Please see the calendar to check for upcoming group sessions.  Make sure you book early, classes are usually full a month before a series begins.  We recommend you start classes around the 30th week of your pregnancy.  This allows you to complete the course 3-4 weeks prior to your due date.         

Jennifer Rogers, LCCE

Jennifer took Lamaze® classes when she was pregnant with her first baby. She loved the experience so much that she decided to become an educator herself. She’s excited to share in these special times with expectant parents and looks forward to teaching as many couples as possible to prepare them for this great journey.
