About

Lizabeth Baker Wade

A note to my community. As of January 1st I will no longer be holding large group classes. I will be holding small groups five couples maximum for the next three months until we find our new home.

I will also be offering private classes and private consultations and preparing to launch my blog. I will continue to serve my community as a labor and delivery nurse and patient advocate in Santa Monica.

With love and gratitude, Lizzie

Birth and Beyond, Liz Baker Wade R.N.
