Child Birth Classes

Classes are available in person or virtually. Breastfeeding and Birth Plan Classes also available.

10 Week Complete Series

In class you and your partner will learn the techniques to get you through labor quicker and with less pain. Your partner will learn what to expect and how to help you though labor. (We make him the ultimate Doula). We also cover topics on breastfeeding and caring for mom and baby after birth. We cover birth plans and possible complications. We really cover it all. But the labor rehearsals are my favorite. I find them helpful in getting your muscle memory down before labor starts, when your brain isn't working. So, you’re truly prepared.

4 Week Accelerated Series

Learn everything from the 10 week series, except breastfeeding, complications, after baby care and birth plans. (Add ons Available).

1 Day Crash Course

Short on Time? In our 1 Day Class, you will learn the basics to understanding the stages of labor, when to go to the hospital and the ways to help your body surrender to labor. We end class with a labor rehearsal to put your new skills to the test.

10 Week PreRecorded Series

Learn it ALL, at your pace. At half the price!!! And I’m still available for questions throughout!

*Bradley classes are 89% effective in accomplishing a natural unmedicated birth, but of course you get out of it what you put in. So practicing is key. In class we watch videos, play games and practice. It's informational but also lots of fun. Each class is about 1.5 hours long. Most mommas start around 25 weeks, but I've had moms start anywhere from 13-30 weeks. The class includes all the course materials.

*As a Doula my job is to educate and advocate; To guide you through labor, to attain the birth experience you and your baby deserve.

BirthKeeper

Thinking About A FREEBIRTH?

(Birth Outside of the System)

What is a Birthkeeper?

A Birth Keeper is someone who holds space for women to find the fullness of their power, to learn to truly trust, connect and listen to their bodies and to give birth in a way that makes you feel seen, heard, safe and respected. We respect and understand birth. We don't empower women, we help them embrace the power within.  Birth keepers encourage women to take control of their birth by knowing their rights and becoming educated about the birth process, so they are empowered to make choices that are best for their families. Birth keepers support you in whatever capacity you need; to achieve the birth experience you desire. 

Birth keepers are doulas, but not every doula is a birth keeper!

I believe in traditional wisdom. I believe that birth is a right of passage. I’m here to awaken the power in women, so we can reclaim birth. I know that women are born with the wisdom of birth and motherhood in our DNA, after all, women have populated the entire earth, without interventions for eons!

What I do?

As a birthkeeper, I accompany women in labor. I draw from my training, knowledge from outside studying, and experience to provide emotional support, physical comfort and, communication with family and friends, if needed. I can provide reassurance and perspective to you and your partner, make suggestions for labor progress and help with relaxation, massage, positioning and other techniques for comfort. As your birthkeeper I am working for you, not your provider or hospital. I am not a trained OBGYN, nurse, or midwife and I am not authorized to practice medicine in any state. I provide informational, emotional, and non-medical physical support for unmedicated physiologic labor only. I assist mom in any way she needs, offering help and advice with pain coping techniques and comfort measures throughout your labor. I can help guide you through breathing, encourage relaxation through massage, suggesting movement and effective positions for labor, all while helping protect your birth preferences. It is my priority to provide continuous support, emotional reassurance and comfort to you and your partner during your free birth.

After birth. I will remain with you for one or two hours, until you are comfortable, and your family is ready for quiet time together. I can assist with immediate skin-to-skin contact, assessing baby, and helping with initial breastfeeding and finding a good first latch. I then follow up within one week after birth to see how you and baby are doing.

Postpartum Care

-Cleaning, cooking, cuddles for you or baby, shopping trips, sanity checks, diaper changes, breastfeeding support, a shoulder to cry on, and so much more.

I believe in mothering the mother. I believe in your body! I believe that women are wise and birth is sacred.

I believe in you!
