In our  Childbirth Prep Series, we will guide the birthing person and their partner to develop tools and techniques in an interactive and engaging set of classes.  While covering all topics of any comprehensive childbirth preparation, as birth doulas, we begin by imparting our knowledge and information gathered from a variety of resources such as: Lamaze, DONA, the Birth Coach Method, Pelvic Dynamics, and The Body Ready Method, in addition to our backgrounds in education,  to guide you through birth’s journey.  Lamaze’s three pillars resonate with our philosophy: 1. Evidence-Based. 2. Respectful, everyone’s journey to parenthood is unique. 3. Transformative, the journey from pregnancy to parenthood can be very transformative for many families.  We strive to strike a balance between theory and practice allowing you and your partner to arrive at the day of your birth empowered, knowledgeable, and confident. 

We look forward to being members of your birthing team as your childbirth educators.

Topics covered include:

  • Lamaze’s 6 Healthy Birth Practices

  • Physical, Emotional, Hormonal Variations
