As a midwife and women's health nurse practitioner, I have been supporting women through pregnancy and birth for many years... this experience as well as my own the births of my own 4 children have shown me that there is a huge gap in our maternal healthcare system - postpartum care.
This 1.5 hour class is designed to help parents prepare and plan for the physical, emotional, and practical changes that come after their baby arrives, and to provide birth workers with the knowledge they need to help their clients feel prepared as they navigate life after pregnancy!
