You’re sorting through too much information.

Advice is everywhere, but it’s hard to tell what will actually help when labor begins.

You don’t have time for a long series.

You want to feel ready, but your calendar is already full.

You’re informed, but not sure what to do with it.

Knowing your options doesn’t always translate to confidence in the moment.

What this weekend is for:

You don’t need more birth information—you need help making sense of what you already know. This two-session live course is designed for parents who want to feel oriented, steady, and capable as birth approaches. We focus on advocacy, decision-making, and working with your body through labor and early postpartum—without rushing, oversimplifying, or overwhelming you. Led by doula and childbirth educator Andrea Weaver, this class blends evidence-based education with real-world practice. You’ll leave with clarity, usable tools, and a stronger sense of trust in yourself—not a longer to-do list.
