1. What makes this series different from other childbirth classes?

This series focuses on empowering both mamas and their partners by offering practical tools for confidence, calmness, and connection. With 20+ years of experience as a doula, childbirth educator, yoga teacher, and nutritionist, I’ve designed a holistic program that addresses the physical, emotional, and mental aspects of childbirth preparation.

2. Who is this series for?

This series is for expectant mamas who want to feel confident and calm during labor, create a personalized birth plan, and foster a strong connection with their partners. It's also perfect for those looking to communicate effectively with hospital staff and create a positive, joyful birthing experience.

3. What will we learn?

The series covers empowering birth visions, confidence-building exercises, calming techniques (breathing, meditation, and postures), optimal fetal positioning, partner support strategies, and how to advocate for your needs during labor and delivery.

4. What is the format of the series?

The series is a combination of in-person and Zoom sessions. You’ll attend 3 in-person sessions in Downtown Napa and 2 online Zoom sessions for flexibility. The next upcoming schedule is as follows:
