What Sets Us Apart

  • Root into confidence, not fear

    Unlike typical newborn care classes that focus on schedules and routines, we guide you back to your biological instincts and innate maternal knowing.

  • Connection over checklists

    Instead of just focusing on basic baby care tasks, we take it further into deepening your connection with self and baby, allowing you to respond in ever changing environments and situations.

  • Trust Your Inner Wisdom

    Instead of searching for answers to every question, we help you reconnect with your natural maternal knowing. Learn to trust the wisdom that already lives within you, building confidence in your ability to understand and respond to our baby’s needs.

  • Emotional Wellbeing at the Core

    Understanding that your regulation creates safety for your baby, we integrate nervous system awareness and maternal wellness into every aspect. A regulated mother leads to a more regulated baby.

  • Build Your Village

    We don’t just prepare you for baby care  – we help you create your own support system before your little one arrives.

  • Continuous circle of support

    Unlike one-off classes, our support extends through your first weeks with baby through text guidance, 1:1 sessions, and follow-up care.

Who is this Course For

This course is designed for expecting mothers who want to prepare for those precious early days with their baby—before the whirlwind of postpartum begins. By laying this foundation during pregnancy, you're giving yourself and your baby an invaluable gift.

The first days and weeks with your baby are too precious to spend searching for answers. Having this wisdom beforehand allows you to be fully present in those early moments.

Your baby's early experiences shape their developing nervous system. Understanding how to respond to their needs from day one supports their emotional and physical wellbeing.

Building your knowledge and support system during pregnancy significantly reduces postpartum anxiety and overwhelm.

Learning to trust your maternal instincts takes time. Pregnancy is the perfect opportunity to strengthen this connection, helping you step into motherhood with confidence.

When questions arise in those middle-of-the-night moments, you'll already have the resources, support, and community in place.
