What students say about this class:

"I really appreciatedthat you told us about your feelings of frustration you had experienced at one point and what to do to get it back under control. I've only had a couple bad days, but it really made it easier to handle."

"The class was very helpful. I had way more confidence in handling the baby than I would have otherwise. And my wife had more confidence in me after seeing me change the messiest day one diaper you have ever seen. I will recommend your class for the all the new fathers-to-be I know."

"Every week I still think of the wonderful insight you provided in your course."

Conscious Fathering


This class is for expectant dads and new dads. The class fee covers one dad-to-be, he can bring along his child’s grandpa-to-be or uncle-to-be for free.

This class offers men insight into preparing for those precious first few months of baby's life. It covers how to meet baby's basic needs: to be fed, to burp, to be comfortable, to be rested, and to be responded to when they cry. We also discuss how to begin to develop your own definition of what kind of a father you want to be, and how you want to interact with your child. Our children need fathers as much as they need mothers, and fathers' involvement in the lives of their kids is an integral part of healthy development. How you care for your child from the very first day will build the foundation for your relationship. Are you ready to embrace fatherhood, immerse yourself in your child's life, and strive to be a true partner in all aspects of your child's development?
