There is a belief that feeding from your body is natural and therefore easy, but ask around and you know that’s often not the case. In Canada, our success rates are dismal and families face many obstacles when it comes to infant feeding. Breast/chest feeding is a learned skill that both you and your baby work at together to figure out.
*PARTNERS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO TAKE THIS CLASS!

Preparing for birth isn’t just about grabbing an online (likely US based) template and checking off a bunch of things. It’s about knowing and understanding ALL of your options, so that you can make informed decisions every step of the way.

Many birthing people have no idea how their body's are supposed to work in labour, and more importantly, how best to support their body's ability to birth. Through education, breathing techniques, relaxation, visualization, self-hypnosis and more, this class will bring you closer to achieving your ideal birth experience.

planning for postpartum - $45+HST
continuing your education
We spend so much time planning for pregnancy, labour & birth but not postpartum recovery. The 4th trimester is both a beautiful & transformative time, but it can also be challenging. You are recovering from birth, taking care of baby/babies, and slowly figuring out who you are as a parent. This class focuses on YOU- your recovery & your journey.
We created our newborn care class to cover the most important topics for taking care of a new baby and to answer your most pressing questions. Our professional training and a career as postpartum & infant care doulas make us the perfect baby manual for you as you prepare for your baby. Join us for this exciting class as we cover all the "must learn" topics, and invite the excited grandparents too!

"When you are pregnant, even your earlobes are pregnant" - a nurse practitioner told this to SJ once and she couldn't have been more accurate! Your body changes so quickly and drastically in pregnancy and with it comes a whole ton of strange symptoms, annoying aches and pains, and for some new pregnancy related medical conditions.

Our culture has led families to believe that there are only two ways to deal with parental sleep deprivation & getting their babies to sleep more: using a variation of a "cry it out" method or suffering through this period until their baby learns to sleep on their own. Join us along as we explore navigating your first 6 months with baby & answer YOUR most pressing questions about infant sleep. Take this class prenatally or when your baby is already here!
