Private Sessions are always available upon request.
You may want to consider this option if your schedule prevents you from attending one of our scheduled class times or perhaps you don’t feel comfortable with group dynamics. Maybe you are looking for specific advice on birth or parenting. Or you have mobility issues that prevent you from attending a class.
Each private session is a minimum of 2 hours and must be paid for in advance to secure your time slot. Sessions are offered online over Zoom, or in the comfort of your home.
Private sessions are billed $55.00/hour for class-based sessions and $65.00/hour for custom sessions. HST is charged in addition to these rates.
We offer private sessions in Waterloo Region and Guelph. If you are requesting a session outside of these areas an additional travel fee may apply and will be invoiced separately. If you would like another couple to join your session an additional charge of $20 per hour plus HST will be billed separately.
We will do our best to accommodate a change of private session date if necessary (subject to availability). Refunds minus a 30% admin fee are available up to 14 days before the session date. Any cancellations after this time are non-refundable.
Before our private session with Maggie, we did not feel prepared for our babies arrival despite having read multiple books and doing our own research. After our time with Maggie, we feel prepared and comfortable with all of the exciting, new, and slightly scary experiences that are to come with the arrival of our baby. She provided expansive knowledge from Western medicine, as well as, perspectives and insight from more natural methods. This helped to lessen my anxiety about childbirth and caring for a newborn. Our session was the best money we spent throughout our entire pregnancy.

Maggie is a wealth of information and a pleasure to be around. We had extenuating circumstances due to our daughter being born almost 3 months early. She was very accommodating, and we really enjoyed our customized private information session with her.
