Childbirth Education That Prepares You for Real Birth

Private, evidence-based childbirth education for families who want to feel informed, confident, and prepared — without feeling overwhelmed.

There is no shortage of information about birth. The hard part is knowing how to apply that information when it’s your turn.

My goal is to take everything you’ve been reading, hearing, Googling, and worrying about — and turn it into practical preparation you and your partner can actually use. I’ve taken years of birth experience and distilled it into a clear, practical format that helps you understand what matters most — and actually feel ready to use it.

You’ll learn how labor unfolds, how to recognize when it’s time to go in, how to work with your body through movement and comfort techniques, and how your partner can support you with confidence. We’ll also cover pain management, common interventions, induction, cesarean birth, postpartum recovery, and how to make informed decisions if your birth takes an unexpected turn.

Most partners want to help. They just don’t always know exactly how.

We’ll make sure your support person understands what labor may look like, how to recognize what you need, when it may be time to go to the hospital, and how to use movement, positioning, and comfort techniques to support you.

They’ll also learn how to stay grounded when plans change, help you think through decisions, and know when to step in — and when simply being close is exactly what you need.

The goal is for both of you to walk into birth feeling more prepared, connected, and confident as a team.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Because your birth is not a classroom case study.

    Private education gives us time to focus on your pregnancy, your provider, your birth setting, your questions, your previous experiences, and the things that are keeping you up at night.

    It’s childbirth education built around your family — not the other way around.

  • I teach each family privately, via Zoom in the comfort of their home! I try to be flexible on the timing, offering evening and weekend classes. However daytime sessions during the week between 7am and 5pm are preferred.

  • I charge $500 for the entire curriculum, which consists of 3 sessions. Each session is between 2-3 hours long.

  • Many insurances now cover CBE and provide reimbursement credit for families. Since I am a Certified Childbirth Educator, I am able to provide you with a superbill and help you to receive that reimbursement.

  • I am a Certified Childbirth Educator through CAPPA and have built my unique curriculum under the supervision of their Organization and standards. I combine practical knowledge from my birth doula practice, evidence based information and unique questions and needs of each family into my CBE teachings.
