You don't know what you don't know. My goal as your doula is to offer the education necessary to empower you so that you can make informed decisions. When you sign up as a client of mine, this program is included in my birth package.

The Welcome Earthside courses focuses on what actually happens during birth, so you're ready for the real thing. Each section has videos that go over different categories such as Vaginal Birth, Cesarian Birth, Newborn Care, Newborn Resuscitation, Delivery Complications and More.

Built by a local labor and delivery nurse here in the Rogue Valley, this course is packed with evidence-based, real-world guidance so you walk in informed, confident, and ready to speak up when it matters.

My goal as your doula is to help you develop a birth plan (and contingency plan) so that:

  • You're able to understand the hospital's staff language, so you stay an active participant and informed.

  • Equip you so you can make evidence-based decisions that align with your values.

  • Prepare you to advocate for yourself and your baby, ensuring you are seen and heard.

  • You'll know what's happening in your body and around you.

  • I can't promise your birth will look exactly like your dream scenario, but I can say this:

Knowledge brings you one giant step towards having a beautiful birth that leaves you feeling empowered, strong, and connected to the process and your baby.

Birth & Beyond Maternal Support, LLC is thrilled to partner with Welcome Earthside to offer parents comprehensive resources for their birth journey. Welcome Earthside is a company created by a labor and delivery nurse, to empower you with the knowledge you need to make informed decisions about your birth.
