A 4-hour mini-course to finally get you ready to meet your baby.

In October, 2023, on its 1-year anniversary, Prepping for Parenthood got a little glow-up!
Check it out!
Ready for parenthood?
✔ You’ve gone to all your prenatal appointments but all the focus seems to be on your pregnancy and upcoming birth.
✔ You’re starting to wonder when they’re going to talk to you about what life will be like after you meet your baby
✔ Are they really going to send you home with a newborn just two days after meeting them without even checking if you know anything about babies?
✔ You've had a baby shower (or two!) and are almost done setting up the nursery but wish there was a checklist or master plan for life with your baby so you wouldn’t feel so unprepared.
Imagine what it would feel like if you knew exactly what to do to feel totally ready to meet your baby.
You can shift smoothly into postpartum 🌤️
✔ clarify your needs so that it’s easier to make plans to have the kind of birth and postpartum you dream about
✔ prepare your house and baby things so that everything is ready and in place when you bring your baby home
✔ feel confident looking after your baby and know whether they are hungry, fussy, or sleepy in those first 12 weeks
✔ know exactly who to call to look after yourself or your baby when things get hard?
… in just 2 weeks!

Meet your doula:
Prepping for Parenthood was the solution I created to meet your postpartum prep needs.
In your search for a comprehensive new parent class, look no further. I've tailored Prepping for Parenthood to transform your pre-baby jitters into a well-organized plan.
This class covers everything from newborn care basics to setting up your postpartum support system because it’s what I needed when I met my first baby, what my clients wish they’d had access to, and what I learned in my interview series in 2022.

Your questions answered: everything you need to know
1. Who is this for?
Prepping for Postpartum is a course for pregnant people who want to do more to get ready to meet their babies. If you want to take 2 weeks to really nail down your needs, set emotional boundaries, organize your house and baby things, learn about newborn development, feeding, and sleep, and about other birth and baby professionals in your community, this course is for you!
2. How long is the course?
The course is set up to take just two weeks to complete. The course consists of 4 modules of video content and downloadable resources totaling about 4 hours. You can complete the course at your own pace starting the day you sign up and join us for Tuesday Voxer office hours at your leisure. You can continue accessing the course as long as you need it.
3. What do I get when I join?
You get access to short video lessons along with accompanying resources guiding you through various preparation strategies and tasks as you prepare to meet your baby. You also get access to my postpartum doula expertise and experience through our weekly office hours throughout the remainder of your pregnancy.
4. When should I join the course?
You can join at any point in your pregnancy, though you’ll likely be in your late-2nd trimester or early-third trimester when you join. You’ll need about a week to complete the course and take action on the to-dos for each module if you’re feeling ambitious, so don’t leave this for too close to your due date!
