Childbirth Education

Pregnancy can be overwhelming! Many people report feeling unclear about the options available to them in pregnancy and postpartum, and when they look for answers they end up getting unhelpful, unsolicited, and/or incorrect advice and information. 

This course is taught through an advocacy lens, and is appropriate for anyone who is interested in exploring not only the options available to them as a pregnant person, but also the context surrounding the decisions they make about their care. 

I offer two 4 hour or four 2 hour childbirth education classes depending on your unique needs. During these classes we will cover a wide range of topics, including:

  • Self -Advocacy in Pregnancy, Labor, Birth, and Postpartum

  • Prenatal Planning; Birth Preferences, Postpartum, Crisis & Safety, & VBAC Planning

  • The Pregnant Body; Anatomy, Common Discomforts, and Complications

  • Non-medical Support; Self-management of Labor & Labor Comfort Measures

  • Medical Support in Birth, Postpartum, and Early Infant Care & Complications

  • What to Expect During Labor & Birth; Signs of Labor & Stages of Labor 

  • Postpartum Experiences, Recovery & Wellness

  • Newborn Procedures & Health Concerns

  • Basics of Infant Care, Feeding & Family Planning

Investment

I offer tiered pricing in an effort to make my doula services accessible to as many folks as possible while also balancing my own finances.  Your contract will give you the chance to select the best match for your situation.  No proof of income or verification is necessary.  This is the honor system, rooted in the values of community care.  I trust that most folks are trying to do the right thing, and this includes honoring my time and value as a birth worker, while also honoring your financial capacity.
