Parenthood is certainly the most important life decision we take, but can also be a wonderful and enriching experience, for to-be parents, for which we receive no formal training. To enjoy this experience, it is important for you as parents to be well-prepared, with adequate knowledge, to make this a joyful and pleasant journey in life. The most important knowledge to prepare you for this journey is presented during the antenatal course.

The postnatal period brings its unique and often multiple uncertainty, questions and concerns. (Babies do not come with an operating manual.) Do the antenatal course to get rid of the uncertainty, get answers to some questions and concerns, and to actually see and experience “we are actually cute parents and doing well”. This course gives parents peace of mind to make raising a baby and small child a little easier.

Karien has a passion for pregnant women, parents, and babies, and she will walk this path with you.
