Online Classes Begin As Group Classes Pause Due to COVID-19
/COVID-19 is disrupting all of our daily schedules and social norms. Anxiety around health and wellness has never been higher in my lifetime. Women are afraid and need birth education more than ever to reduce their fear and anxiety but with social distancing being part of our foreseeable future how will couples get the answers to the questions that they need? I have been planning to put my courses online for several years but the timing never seemed quite right, until now.
I had my third baby 1 year ago and life has been flying by at a rapid pace and most days I am just trying to keep up. Maybe it is the start or spring or simply that life shifts when your baby turns one but I am ready to come up for air. I am finally able to look around and assess my life and the world around me. What I see unfortunately are all in person gatherings such as birth classes being cancelled due to the coronavirus and so many unknowns regarding this virus for pregnant women. Most information from the CDC suggests there are no increased concerns for pregnant women/babies but they also describe in depth how much they do NOT know. As a provider the only advice I can give women is to avoid illness as much as possible with social distancing and hand washing.
Traditionally couples will attend birth classes in an office or hospital group setting but social distancing makes this impossible. You could search for answers to your questions on the internet but we all know how that goes. The internet is a strange and scary place for pregnant women. At Sweet Pea Prep we do not know when group classes will resume and when classes resume will couples even feel comfortable in a group class setting. If you find yourself in this category I encourage you to check out our online classes at sweetpeaprep.teachable.com as I have recently created online versions of my Birthing Basics and Breastfeeding classes (stay tuned for more).
I am excited to reach and help more women during this uncertain time through this online format and am looking forward to what the future of online classes will bring for my community. As a way to say thank you to my early online class adopters and alleviate some of the financial stress that has come with the coronavirus pandemic I am offering a $20 off discount code (LAUNCHDAY) to be used towards my online classes.
Use LAUNCHDAY for the next 48 hours to get $20 off (expires 3/24/20 at midnight)
Already attended classes with us, please tell your expectant friends about this new offering. I hope you like the classes!
Sincerely,
Lisa Holloway RN, MSN, WHNP
