Tiny Blessings Prenatal is a prenatal education program, in Kamloops, run by two great ladies – Amy and Tara.  Here is a little bit more about them and a fantastic giveaway, too!

“We offer interactive, prenatal education focusing on coping in late pregnancy, labor and delivery, breastfeeding, and newborn care. We combine group activity, self work, couple activity, lecture, videos, and hand-on activity to enrich the class time.  There are two programs of prenatal courses available to parents with a tiny blessing on the way.

The five week course will allow for a more in-depth discussion of the topics. We will have more hands on activities and flexibility of topics covered in detail. Or, due date just around the corner?

The one-day course is great for parents who do not have time to attend a five week session, or 2nd time parents wanting a refresher. It will cover all the same topics but with a little less opportunity for hand-on activities.  As an added bonus- a car seat inspection and installation assessment is done by certified inspector is included with registration.

Not only will families leave feeling more confident in their ability to give birth, they will meet other families starting the same journey! Come to learn some tools for coping for birth and baby. Welcome you to the next step to your very own “Tiny Blessing,” because these blessings come in small packages.”
