YOUR EMPOWERED BIRTH
Our immersive birth prep course has been carefully curated to equip you with the tools, resources and confidence to have the empowered birth you desire. Whether you’re birthing unmedicated at home, at a birth center or with medication in the hospital, this class is for you. We've offered guidance to families from first-time to fifth-time parents. Our warm and welcoming space allows us to dig deep as we talk about the raw and real aspects of birth.
This course is offered as a single-day in-person group class, private in-home personalized class or private virtual class. Topics we’ll cover but are not limited to choosing your ideal birth team and environment, hormones at play in labor, birth choices, understanding hospital inductions, preparing for labor, stages of labor, what to pack, labor tools, what to expect in delivery and postpartum, partner involvement, coping and comfort techniques and more! We also provide you and your partner with dozens of helpful PDFs infused with our years of doula experience that will continue to support you beyond the class. We’re dedicated to raising the bar for better birth outcomes, and it starts here with the right education.
YOUR EMPOWERED FOURTH TRIMESTER
Birth is only 5% of the journey and postpartum is the other 95%. It truly takes a village to support a new family in their early postpartum weeks and months. We want to be an important part of your village by setting you up for success before your baby arrives. We’ll teach you to care for your new baby and for the new version of yourself as a mother.
This immersive fourth-trimester course is offered as a personalized in-home or virtual course for you, your partner and your immediate family. Topics we’ll cover but are not limited to: what to expect for mom’s recovery, postpartum care and nutrition, recognizing postpartum disorders, setting up for successful feeding, how to hold, swaddle, bathe and diaper your baby, understanding baby’s sleep, car seat safety, vaccine choices and much more! Beyond the personalized class, we'll provide you with dozens of PDF takeaways specifically designed to equip you throughout your fourth-trimester journey
