Our independent course, designed and taught by certified doulas / childbirth educators, is designed to provide families with the most current evidence-based information, empowering you to make educated and informed decisions for your birth.

Maintaining a healthy pregnancy (nutrition, exercise, prenatal holistic wellness)

Making thoughtful decisions about childbirth
Writing a birth plan/preferences
Finding comfort during labor (positions, breathing, relaxation, visualization)
