We recommend that you watch the first Masterclass video, and then follow this up with a live zoom session (so you will therefore have a coaching session with Elise following each Masterclass to consolidate and deepen your knowledge and birth preparation). However if you prefer to watch all the Masterclasses, and then schedule your 3 x live sessions, that is also absolutely fine.
