Private Antenatal Classes & Birth Preparation in Verona & Lake Garda
I am preparing personalised birth preparation in English, German, French and Italian for local and international families. Future formats include one-to-one and small-group courses, in person in Verona and Lake Garda or online. No courses or clinical appointments are currently available for booking.

Planned course structure
The planned curriculum will be shaped around each family’s priorities, hospital questions and existing knowledge, with partners included in preparation. Session lengths, schedules and booking arrangements have not yet been finalised.
Labour physiology
What your body actually does across each stage of labour, how to read contractions, positions and movement that help progress, and breathing and coping techniques you can rehearse together.
Pain management options
A clear, unbiased comparison of non-pharmacological tools, nitrous oxide and epidural analgesia as they are offered in Veneto hospitals — including when to ask, and what timing is realistic.
Hospital procedures in Italy
Admission, triage, monitoring, consent, who is allowed in the room, caesarean pathways and the postnatal ward routine at Borgo Trento and Borgo Roma, so nothing on the day is a surprise.
Postpartum readiness
The first 72 hours and the first six weeks: feeding, newborn behaviour and sleep, pelvic-floor basics, mood and recovery, plus the paperwork you need to register the birth in Italy.
Built for international families
The future courses are intended to run in English, German, French and Italian, with bilingual terminology and birth-preference preparation for discussion with your treating team. Planned relocation orientation includes SSN and tessera sanitaria questions; this service is not yet available.
Formats and coverage
Small-group workshops and individual sessions are planned. Future in-person care and home visits will be limited to Verona and Lake Garda, with online birth preparation intended for families across Italy and before relocation.
