Private Childbirth Class

I’m uniquely prepared to teach about labor, birth, and postpartum expectations. After 15 years of working as a full-time, professional birth doula and attending approximately 550 birthdays, I share my skills, tips, and tools for success with students wishing to optimize their childbirth experience.

Arrange an in-person, private labor lesson to be held in your home in St. Pete and the surrounding neighborhoods. This is hands-on partner training for labor comfort and progress.

Prepare for the realities of birth and parenthood with private learning tailored to your individual needs. This Labor Lesson includes:

• Up-to-date, evidence-based birth information relevant to inductions, labor, delivery, and routine newborn procedures;

• Labor comfort measures, positioning, and relaxation techniques;

• Self-care, postpartum, and breastfeeding expectations;

• Access to the online Learning Center to dive deeper into the current research, review your studies, watch videos, and read tips for labor and advocating for your choices in childbirth.

You'll be prompted to specify your needs and tailor your lesson as you desire. I suggest you take this at-home birthing class between weeks 33-38 of your pregnancy.

Lactation Counseling

For all my doula clients who wish to bodyfeed their babies, I offer guidance on the first latch and feeding positions to try immediately following birth. During the first few weeks postpartum, I help new parents troubleshoot any feeding issues and address new concerns as they come up. For those who need additional lactation counseling, or plan to build up a supply of milk before returning to work, you can also book a special session with me.
