WHY THIS COURSE?
YOU DESERVE MORE
The way you care for yourself postpartum will have consequences that will linger for years (and years) to come. By investing in learning and preparing for postpartum, you will find yourself expanding and growing. Your postpartum time is a sacred period and should be honored.
IT'S UPFRONT AND REAL
This course is designed to be upfront and real about the experiences of postpartum that will benefit both you and your partner. There’s no dancing around. All the information here is down to earth and relevant for both parents as they navigate the struggles and experiences of this consecrated time.
IT’S AFFORDABLE
Comparative courses are $200-400 in price, but we wanted to make this class available to more parents. This course is the price of going out to eat 3 times, and that’s not bad for all the wealth of real information you will get. While this course would normally cost more, we wanted you to use your any extra funds to work with a postpartum doula or IBCLC (or other professional) to get tailored and specific care that you need. We really believe in the value of connecting with your community and accessible education.
IT SAVES TIME
Other courses that are similar have 16+ hours of footage that are filled with redundant information. We know that your time is valuable and want you to actually have the time to prepare for postpartum! Our course is 4 hours - total! It’s broken up into small segments so you can easily digest information every day or you could binge watch in a weekend and get the foundational information you need. This is perfect for busy moms and dads who want to prepare for postpartum without being glued to the couch for hours on end.
You deserve a peaceful postpartum. You deserve an informed postpartum. You deserve a supported postpartum. Let us show you how.
