This 4-week workshop is designed to give you everything you need to feel prepared for birth and early parenthood — in a focused, time-efficient format that respects how busy life already is.

Led by trained birth and postpartum professionals, each 1.5-hour session combines practical education, real-world guidance, and supportive conversation so you leave feeling informed, confident, and ready for what’s ahead. Partners and support people are welcome to join.

Rather than overwhelming you with information, this workshop delivers what matters most — clearly, thoughtfully, and with space to ask questions and connect with other expecting families.
