Wanna pick our brains?
​ Let's start the conversation.

We're happy to share our ​insider-expertise with you.

Tanya and the teachers at Manhattan Birth have been through this process with hundreds of couples and love to help people find their way.  We have been the "fly on the wall" in nearly every birth setting around and can help get you started off in the right direction.

We offer mentoring services and resources to pregnant couples on any topic that suits your needs, based on your desires for your birth. Mentoring sessions are offered in our office on the upper west side, or via phone or Skype. Follow up resources are generously provided.

Here are some of the most popular questions we receive in mentoring sessions:

• How can I get the birth I want?
• How can we prepare for this birth?
• Can you help me find a great, supportive care provider?
• I'm thinking of becoming pregnant but I want to get a head start.
• I've already had a baby but I want to do my next pregnancy differently!
• What's the difference between and doctor and a midwife in the hospital?
• Can you help me figure out where to give birth?
• What's the difference between giving birth in the hospital, birthing center, or at home?
• Can you tell me about the hospitals in the area?
• Can you tell me about the birth centers in the area?
• Might home birth be right for us?
• What kinds of things have seen in your experience? 
• What kind of support do I need?
• Can you help me find a doula?
• Can you help me find a pediatrician?
• What types of things do we need for the baby?
• What types of things do we need for lactation and feeding?

"My partner and I both agree that we are changed people after taking Tanya and Amy's class. It is so much more than learning about what to do in labor!

EVERYTHING is covered from taking care of yourself during pregnancy, to choosing a care provider (Tanya took the time to help us personally find the PERFECT midwife when we moved to NJ at 33 weeks pregnant!) to the ins-and-outs of the American healthcare system's maternity care, to breastfeeding, parenting, and of course every possible thing you need to know about how to handle the big day... ALL of your questions will get answered. It was SO much information and it never even felt like a class, more like a support group lead by a hilarious and incredibly passionate childbirth wizard!

This class is the BEST thing that has happened to us since we got pregnant. I'm seriously sending every pregnant lady I see straight to this class."
