The Better Birth Prep Series is a fully comprehensive 8-week childbirth Prep class that EVERY first-time mom should take, and any mom who has never taken a birth class before should attend. This comprehensive course will prepare you and your birth partner to prevent some of the biggest causes of birth complications, how to communicate with your birth team effectively, identify the road map to the birth you want, and understand what to really expect from birth, whether you deliver at home or in a hospital. This is for parents who really want to put in the work for a positive and truly healthy experience from their birth no matter what happens. This class is best taken in the early second trimester of pregnancy, but can be taken any time before 30 weeks pregnant.

Workshops

I offer a variety of workshops to add to your knowledge and build confidence in your ability to birth and connect with your baby. Check out my other workshops:

​

  • Microbirth Workshop - What if I told you the way you birth and medical interventions used during labor could affect your baby's immune system and long-term health? This course focuses on the microbiome during the perinatal period ( pregnancy through postpartum) and helps you learn how you can set your baby up for the healthiest start without overcomplicating the information.

​

  • Pediatric CPR/First Aid - This vital class will help you gain life-saving skills in the event of choking, cardiac arrest, or serious injury. Every parent needs this class. You will gain certification.

​

  • Belly Mapping Method™ -Belly Mapping Method™ is a fun and educational three-step process to figure out your baby’s position during those final months of pregnancy. Parents can enjoy using this method to learn more about their little one’s position, while healthcare providers can use it to sharpen their skills with visual clues. The main aim here is to help parents recognize different baby parts and understand where their baby is positioned.
