Childbirth Education Series

In pregnancy there is so much to learn!   It can feel overwhelming and confusing - especially when we hear very different (sometimes frightening) experiences and often conflicting recommendations. But birth can ABSOLUTELY be beautiful, empowering, and a positive peak life event! This course gives the information, tools, and tips to help you prepare to dive into this incredible experience fearless and strong.

I have attended at births for 25 years in different roles, and also had three wonderful births of my own.   By witnessing lots of people on this journey, I have come to understand what works/doesn’t work, how we can prepare, and make this the best experience possible for you! These are designed for everyone - no matter where you are planning to birth, or what kind of birth you are hoping for, there is good support and information here for you.

This goes beyond the typical childbirth class information - we also include tips to get as healthy and ready as possible during your pregnancy, and dive deep into important things to know ahead of time about postpartum, breastfeeding, and baby care.  

Our winter series will be held at Thrive Wellness Center in Oregon City, 1:30 pm-3 pm on 4 consecutive Sundays: 2/11, 2/18, 2/25 and 3/3.   

Total cost of $320 includes a partner, or support person of your choice. Scholarships are available


and…. separate bonus and open to all - a FREE birth fair!!! On Sunday 3/10 at 1:30, we will have a gathering of doulas, breastfeeding support, birth photographers, placenta specialists to meet.   This is open to the public and a chance to “speed date” to meet our birth support community in Clackamas County.  

We ask that both pregnant families, and birth workers register for the birth meet up by clicking the button below.


We love sharing information with our community -  it makes a huge difference when we feel well-informed, supported and prepared going into this incredible experience. 

Hope to see you there!
