​“Confident Beginnings”
A Comprehensive Support Program for First-Time Parents
Whether you’re feeling excited, nervous, or both about becoming parents, my Confident Beginnings program is here to help! You can choose between a one-time, 90-minute virtual First-Time Parents Workshop or a comprehensive 6-Week Cohort designed to provide deeper preparation and support.
The workshop covers the essentials: stages of labor, creating a birth plan, and practical tips for partner support and preparation for labor. For those who want more, the 6-Week Cohort dives further into each topic and includes additional modules, such as a dedicated Daddy Boot Camp session to empower partners with newborn care skills and postpartum support. Plus, the cohort offers a chance to connect weekly with a community of first-time parents, giving you the tools, guidance, and confidence to enter parenthood as a strong, united team.
Core Values
1. Partnership First:
I focus on strengthening the bond between couples, making the partner the MVP in supporting the pregnant mother through every stage of the journey.
2. Empowerment:
I provide couples with the skills and knowledge to confidently advocate for themselves, ensuring they make informed decisions that align with their birth plan.
3. Community:
By connecting with other couples on the same journey, our cohort-based approach fosters a sense of shared experience, building lasting support systems.
4. Preparation:
My comprehensive modules, including a special session for dads, prepare both partners for the emotional, physical, and practical aspects of childbirth and newborn care.
5. Complete Support:
My program goes beyond birth, covering postpartum recovery, newborn care, and emotional well-being, ensuring both partners feel fully equipped to support each other and their new family.

Mission
I empower couples to navigate pregnancy, labor, and postpartum as a united team. Through a supportive, interactive, and evidence-based program, I equip partners with the knowledge and confidence to be the primary support for the birthing mother, eliminating the need for in-person doulas and allowing couples to complete their journey together, stronger, and more connected. I provide the ultimate resource for couples who want to own their pregnancy journey together, without relying on a third-party doula to guide them through the most intimate moments of labor.
​
Vision
I envision a world where every couple feels fully prepared and confident in their ability to navigate pregnancy and childbirth together. My goal is to create a transformative experience that not only equips partners with essential knowledge and skills but also strengthens their connection as they enter parenthood. I believe in the power of preparation and community, providing couples with a nurturing environment where they can thrive, without the need for external, in-person doula support.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What’s the difference between the workshop and the 6-week cohort?
The 90-minute Workshop is a one-time session focused on preparation for labor and birth, covering essentials like labor stages, birth planning, and partner support techniques. The 6-Week Cohort goes further, offering in-depth weekly sessions on labor, birth, and postpartum care. The cohort also includes a Daddy Boot Camp session specifically for partners and offers a supportive community of first-time parents.
2. How does this program differ from having a doula present during labor?
A doula provides in-person, hands-on support during labor, while Confident Beginnings empowers both parents with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to support each other as a team. This approach not only helps partners feel actively involved but also strengthens the bond between parents as they work together through the birthing experience. By learning how to support each other, couples build a deeper connection and enter parenthood as a united, confident team without feeling solely reliant on a doula’s presence.
3. Is this program suitable for partners who want to be actively involved?
Yes! The program is designed with partners in mind, offering them practical skills and techniques for supporting the birthing parent. The Daddy Boot Camp module in the 6-Week Cohort further prepares partners with hands-on newborn care and postpartum support strategies.
4. Is the program virtual?
Yes, both the workshop and the cohort are conducted virtually, allowing you to join from home. This also enables you to connect with other expectant parents in a supportive virtual community.
5. Do I need to participate in both the workshop and the cohort?
No, you can choose either option based on your needs. The workshop is perfect for a quick, focused overview of labor and birth preparation, while the cohort provides an in-depth experience for those wanting comprehensive preparation and community support.
6. Can I join if I’m already working with a doula?
Yes! Confident Beginnings complements the support of a doula by preparing you and your partner with foundational knowledge and skills. This allows you to enter the birthing experience feeling more empowered, engaged, and self-assured as a team.
