EDUCATION THAT SEES AND ELEVATES YOU | THE DWELL IN BIRTH SERIES
When you and your husband understand what your body is doing, and how best to prepare and support it, fear loses its grip.
Our classes are warm, fun, unhurried, and built for real families. We cover everything from mindset and physiology to labor, birth, comfort management, and what to expect. These classes are in person, complementary for our doula families, and available to our community. Space is limited as we desire small group settings to create feelings of community and intimacy.
Dwell in Confidence:
The Miracle in Your Mindset
Our doulas will help you understand the connection between your mindset and the miracle that is birth by
exploring how our thoughts are connected to and drive our experiences
understanding the dance between oxytocin, endorphins, and catecholamines
describing why a relaxed uterus changes everything
creating birth goals and declarations with you.
Dwell in Understanding Physiology
In the second course of our three part series, our doulas will dive into the stages of labor with you - richly walking you through what to expect during each stage of labor while discussing possible responses for both Mom and Dad.

Where salt of the earth women gather.
DWELL IN: SAFE SLEEP, CLOSE SLEEP
We believe your baby and you were designed to safely co-sleep
Safe sleep, close sleep.
In our experience, so many mothers find themselves co-sleeping while never preparing for it; so they end up afraid to sleep while pouring themselves out for their baby. We’re changing that narrative.
Other mothers find themselves deawn to keeping their baby close through the night and many don’t know there’s a way to do it safely. This class was created for you. This is a warm, judgment free space where we talk honestly about co-sleeping: what the research actually says, what the risks are, how to reduce those risk significantly, and how to create a sleep environment that keeps your baby safe while honoring the instinct to stay near.
We don’t tell you what to do. We give you what you need to make an informed, confident decision for your family.
You’ll leave knowing:
the difference between bed-sharing, room-sharing, and co-sleeping and what the evidence says about each
The Safe Sleep Seven and how to apply them
What makes a sleep environment high-risk versus low-risk
How to talk to your pediatrician about your sleep choices
How to set up your sleep space practically and safely.
This class is for expectant and new mothers who want real information, not fear. You deserve to make this decision with knowledge in your hands and confidence in your heart, before it’s needed.
