Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Classes


Know Your Options. Trust Your Decisions. Prepare for Birth.

The Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class combines self-paced learning with live, interactive support so you have time to  understand the information, ask questions, practice what you’re learning, and figure out what it means for your birth.

Guided mentorship 

Learn alongside a friendly, knowledgeable (and occasionally humorous!) certified doula and childbirth educator who can help make the research feel approachable and applicable to real life.

A flipped-classroom approach

This isn’t your typical childbirth class where I stand in front of you and talk at you. Instead, you’ll learn the foundations at your own pace before we meet. You’ll receive 3 months of access to the Evidence Based Birth® Parent Portal, where you’ll watch short, self-paced lessons before each class.  That means our time together can be spent talking, practicing, asking questions, and applying what you've learned.

Live weekly sessions 

Choose the format that works best for you:

Private Class: Meet with me in person on a schedule that works for you and your support person.

Group Class: Join other expectant families for live Zoom classes on scheduled dates.

Your EBB Childbirth Class® Workbook

A digital download of the Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class Workbook is included with your registration. Prefer something you can hold, highlight, and scribble all over? You can upgrade to a physical workbook mailed to your home for $15 at checkout.

Weekly assignments

Between classes, you'll have short assignments and activities designed to reinforce what you're learning and help you and your support person continue the conversation at home.

Throughout the course, we'll explore:

Evidence-based care 

The stages and phases of labor

Comfort measures and coping techniques (and hands on practice!)

Advocacy, informed consent, and communicating with your care team

Common interventions and your options

Birth preferences and birth planning

Newborn procedures and the first hours after birth

Lactation and early feeding

Postpartum recovery and preparing for the fourth trimester
