Private Childbirth Class

I am well-prepared to teach about labor, birth, and postpartum expectations. With 15 years of experience as a birth doula and about 600 births attended, I share helpful skills and tips for a better childbirth experience. You can schedule a private in-home labor lesson in St. Pete and the nearby areas. This training focuses on medical inductions, labor comfort measures, and providing partner support.

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.
