Our Classes

We had a great 6 weeks with Julia! We really enjoyed her facilitation of the prenatal class and topics/information presented and discussed. It was very helpful and informative. We really appreciated Julia's down-to-earth nature and very realistic views and presentation of the topics. Julia was very detailed but kept it light and realistic with no sugar coating :) - which is just what we needed!

Julia's manner and the information she provided was so reassuring. We feel prepared for the birth and so excited to meet our baby girl. It was a delight to be enrolled in her class.

I went into the class feeling apprehensive about giving birth and what to expect during labour. I left feeling prepared, confident and excited for when I go into labour in a few more weeks. Brandie provided us with a wide set of tools that we could draw on during the labour to deal with a number of different situations, should they arise.

The Bringing Home Baby course offered by OCEA was worth every penny. My husband and I were thoroughly impressed with the educator’s level of knowledge and experience. The class covers a lot of material but somehow flies by! 10/10 would recommend!

We highly recommend taking classes with OCEA. Instructors are beyond knowledgeable and so warm and helpful. We learned SO much and now have a wealth of resources to tap into when needed!

This class was an excellent resource for new moms and dads to be - highly recommended! Be prepared to learn a lot that your baby books don't tell you.

Easy going, could speak up and ask questions without feeling judged.

OCEA courses provide you with the information you need to feel confident in preparing for birth and baby. I'm so glad I took them. I highly recommend them to any Ottawa soon-to-be parents!

This class was unbelievably helpful for navigating the crazy world of new / first borns. My husband and I feel more equipped for bringing our baby home and learned so much about the options and resources available to us. Highly recommend for first time parents!

Julia was excellent. Very personable and she made you feel very comfortable in the class and when asking questions. Really enjoyed her overall approach. I will definitely be recommending her and the class to friends.

I'm so glad we took this course. Even if you feel like you've done your homework and read every article out there, it's great to have the chance to discuss what you've learned in a fun and supportive environment. It was great chance for my partner and I to ask all kinds questions and get practical, down-to-earth advice.

We appreciated all the information presented in the Bringing Baby Home course. It not only filled in some of the gaps in our knowledge, but it put everything together in a way that let us get a solid idea of what life with baby will be like. We would definitely recommend it to any new parents. Our instructor was amazing - approachable, incredibly knowledgeable and experienced (as a mother of four herself) - and she presented balanced views and dealt with controversial issues in a sensitive and accessible way.
