Molly Grace, Birth Boot Camp Instructor
I teach Birth Boot Camp childbirth classes to parents who live in or near New Braunfels and San Marcos, TX.
If you can drive to this area, I'd love for you to join a class!

Do you feel a little panicky every time you think about giving birth?
Does your partner want to do whatever he can to help you but has no idea what that is?
(And maybe you don't really know either?)
You are in the right place.
What if you could go into your birth feeling confident and ready rather than, well...
the way you're feeling now?
Prepare your sigh of relief, because I've got you.
Birth Boot Camp classes with me are what you are looking for.
You can have a birth that you describe as "amazing" or "everything I hoped it would be."

Molly is an incredible teacher and was incredibly supportive throughout the classes, always making sure to provide practical examples and answer all of our questions.

This course is more than just information and material. It’s about understanding a very complex but beautiful process (knowledge is power), but also learn and explore options that are available and that you need to consider because everything can happen.
-Andrea C.
I had so much anxiety about labor and birth before this course, but now I am eagerly anticipating my son’s arrival in just a couple of weeks. I highly recommend reaching out to Molly if you have a little one on the way.
-Bailey D.
My experience attending this birth class has been nothing short of transformative. I am grateful for the knowledge and connections gained through this enriching experience. I would highly recommend this birth class to any expectant parent seeking comprehensive education, practical skills, and a supportive community to guide them through this significant life event.
-Kamo E.
The information is spread out really nicely over the several weeks of class so that it never feels overwhelming or like too much to ingest. Our favorite thing about this class was the emphasis on learning comfort measures and relaxation techniques. We feel so much more prepared for birth than we did before taking this class!
-Emily M.
Molly was an amazing birth boot camp instructor! Would definitley recommend her and this course to anyone doing a home or hospital birth (1st time or not).
-Natalie E.
My wife and I are about to have our first child but we really had no experience with a new born and the thought of going into this blind was terrifying. We really needed some good all around baby basics and Molly's Birth Boot Camp was exactly what we needed. We are so happy we took this class and if you do, you will love it too.

(Buckle up, it's a long list!)
If that's not you, feel free to skip down to the class dates below!
Note: Are you planning to give birth at home or a birth center and wonder if this class is right for you since we talk about hospital-related stuff? Yes, it's right for you. You'll be fully prepared for birth at home or the birth center and I expect you'll have your baby right there, but please be ready for anything. I'd hate for you to feel unprepared at the time you need it most.
Here is my current Class Schedule

Newborn/Postpartum Care Workshop
Take it with a birth class for a package price!
These classes are offered after each of the 6-week classes listed above as an optional 7th class.
May also be taken without the birth class.
I also occasionally offer a 4 hour Comfort Measures workshop where we simply cover ways for you and your partner to help you through the sensations of labor. This is usually scheduled based on interest, so please contact me to get one set up (this info is also included in the childbirth classes listed above).

(It's okay if you missed the first class or two! You can still sign up and get make-up classes online!)
My birth classes are held near Centerpoint Mall in San Marcos, which is within easy driving distance for parents in both New Braunfels and San Marcos, and of course surrounding areas as well!
If you are not close enough to me for an in-person class, consider an online Birth Boot Camp class!
Birth Boot Camp is the original online childbirth class that is kept up to date and evidence based! All Birth Boot Camp instructors teach the same curriculum that you'll find in the online videos.
(Why take one in person? Too many reasons to list here, but the biggest one is that it will be more effective because you're more likely to actually do the activities and follow through, plus you get personal support. Feel free to get in touch to figure out the best option for you!)

Online Birth Boot Camp Classes
Bonus option! If you can't take an in-person class with me, but would still like personal support and the ability to have all your questions answered, I offer a hybrid option! If you want to use this option, you will get access to the online classes, but after watching each week's session you will have a video call with me! We can discuss what you learned, make sure everything feels clear, and answer your questions. Contact me at mollygraceBBCI@gmail.com.
