Newborn Care Workshop
During pregnancy we read books, attend birth classes and keep our bodies fit ready for labor. But how much preparation have you done for the days and weeks after you give birth? Common concerns I hear expectant parents having include:
How will I know if he's getting enough to eat?
What happens in the hospital after I give birth?
How will I know if my partner has postpartum depression, and what do I do?
How do I give my baby a bath?
When is a good time to start pumping?
Will we ever sleep again?
If this sounds like you...
Join us in our Newborn Care Workshop and get all your questions answered. Class sizes are capped in small groups so we can ask questions and discuss the things that are important to YOUR family.

Ellen says...
"This was a great newborn and infant care class from Emma. It was highly informative, included detailed information, and covered a wide range of topics. Even if you think you know a lot, you will learn something valuable. I'm glad we took this. We feel a lot better prepared for baby!"
A look at what we'll talk about:

What to expect in the first few hours of your baby's life. From the all important golden hour of bonding, to the first feeding, to routine newborn medical procedures and tests.

I look forward to meeting you
I've worked in the pregnancy and childbirth field since 2007, as a prenatal and postpartum massage therapist, birth doula, childbirth educator and postpartum doula. I've attended over 250 births and given well over 1000 prenatal massages in that time.
In my time as a postpartum doula, I've helped countless parents adjust to their lives as new families and look forward to sharing that experience with you too.
And yes, those are two babies in the photo plus one cat who couldn't be left out of the snuggles.
I'd love to learn more about you,
so let's get social!
