Why hire Belly to Baby (and everything in between) to guide you on your journey? Childbirth preparation is a key factor in the way that you experience birth and the early days of parenthood. With private, in-home classes tailored to your needs, we are able to focus on the content that is most important to your specific needs and desires. This course goes hand-in-hand with my birth doula services, allowing us to communicate and work together throughout your pregnancy, building trust, confidence, and understanding for optimum birth outcomes. Research shows that having the continuous support of a birth doula reduces unwanted medical intervention, increases the likelihood of vaginal delivery, shortens the average labor time, and improves feelings of satisfaction with one's birth experience. Whether you are looking for childbirth preparation with a personal touch, or a birth doula who will support you with compassion, Belly to Baby (and everything in between) has you covered!
