Childbirth Education
Childbirth Education is a crucial tool in helping a family navigate the world of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. It’s not as simple as a handout or a binder of information. My partner, Nicole Foster, and I have come up with a comprehensive group childbirth series, “Prepared Pregnancy”, that combines the power of movement, breath, mindset, and education all together to provide you with everything you need to get you through this exciting yet often overwhelming journey. Courtney also offers private Childbirth Education Classes in the comfort of your own home or with your own selected group of friends.
Prepared Pregnancy Series
This 6 week series (and immersive class options) for expecting mothers/couples/birthing people will incorporate all that you need to know as you transition to becoming a parent/parents. The way we move and breath is directly related to the way we are able to function throughout pregnancy, cope, and progress throughout labor, and heal postpartum. Education is crucial in advocating for ourselves, knowing our options, and being able to better understand the entire process. Whether you want an epidural or unmedicated birth, if you are planning on having a doula or not, birthing in a hospital or at home….this series is for you! Our goal is to prepare you physically, mentally, and emotionally all the way through postpartum.
6 classes (will be recorded in case a class is missed)

Choosing Courtney to be our Doula was one of the best decisions and investments I've ever made. There is so much fear and negativity around pregnancy and birth in our culture, and I can truly say I walked away with the most positive and empowering experience I could have asked for. What I value most about Courtney is her ability to support you in making the decisions best for you, your baby and family, she won't push you down a path, like some OBs/midwives might because of their own beliefs. If it wasn't for Courtney, I'm not sure I would have stuck with my plan for an unmedicated labor and delivery, but we did it!! So proud of myself and my husband for how well we did, with Courtney's support.
I also took Courtney's Prepared Pregnancy class and met a group of local moms who all now have babies around the same age. Building community is so important for moms, and I'm so happy to still keep in touch with Courtney and our birth class mom group and lean on each other for support and advice throughout our parenthood journeys. I am more than happy to speak with anyone who has questions about working with Courtney.
