The Birthing With Love Course consists of four classes lasting 2-3 hours each. I'm available Monday-Saturday, afternoons and evenings EST.

And, you can always book a consultation call with me to help you decide if this is the right course for you. I'll never ask you for personal information until you decide we're a good fit.

Hi, I'm Christine, a CAPPA certified Postpartum Doula, Labour Doula, and Childbirth Educator - as well as a former pediatric nurse and mother of four.

I love the power of prenatal education. We start with lots of great information, which is tailored to your specific needs and interests. You’ll understand how your body is able to birth and care for a baby - it’s fascinating! You’ll discover your own super powers to birth and feed your baby - through the power of love and hormones! You’ll discover how your team of partners creates a loving safe birth environment. And there’s so much more.

We’ll get interactive - discussing, laughing, and practicing skills hands on. We can practice body positions, breathing skills, how to practice a contraction with your birth partner, how to diaper and feed your baby, and many more. You’ll enter birth and parenting with confidence in your knowledge, skills, and the supportive partnerships you’ve surrounded yourself with. You’ve got this!

With Love,

Christine
