Your birth, your way.
Get educated with private Birth Prep.
Private childbirth education customized specifically for your unique birthing location, needs, and preferences. Delivered on your schedule in the comfort of your own home (or virtually!). Whether this is your first baby or your fifth, your experience matters. Together we will gather and discuss the information you need so you approach your birthing day feeling confident and prepared. Typically delivered over two 1.5-2 hour sessions.
Are you looking forward to having a baby, but worried about what it’s like to be a “patient” in the hospital system? Never fear, Savvy Birth 101 is here! The 1-hour Savvy Birth 101 class was developed by Evidence Based Birth® to give you the inside scoop on how to form the ultimate birth team, so when the time comes to bring your baby into the world you can find yourself at the center of respectful, evidence-based care.
After this workshop, you will be able to:
Define evidence-based care and discuss the difference between evidence-based care and routine care
Describe how the power system works in most hospital labor and delivery units
Discuss ways to create a team-based atmosphere in the birthing room, so that you and your partner can get evidence-based, family-centered care
Cost: $30 per expectant family
Bonus: All attendees receive a discount towards the full Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class with me or Aly Romot, and will have the opportunity to schedule an exclusive tour of the brand new Ohio Birth Center!
Check back in Spring 2025 for upcoming dates, or reach out to schedule a private session!
Get the facts, then make a plan.
Plan for the baby, not just the birth.
So you’ve made a birth plan and feel ready for the big day, and then you realize…they’re going to let you bring this kid HOME? And be the PARENT?
Don’t stress. You’ve got this! But let’s chat through the basics first, so you have an idea of how to prepare, what to expect, and where to turn for help when you need it! I offer two different group classes, which can be taken individually or in combination, to give you the low down on how to feed and care for a newborn human. All classes are hosted at Northside Women’s Health (though you do not need to be in care with their practice to attend!).

Birth Professional? I’ve got you!
Are you passionate about evidence based care, but regularly witness hospital policies taking precedence over your client's choice? It can be frustrating to watch clients receive care that isn’t based on research and not quite knowing how to help.
The Savvy Birth Pro Workshop (3 contact hours) was developed by Evidence Based Birth® to give professionals the skills you need to make a genuine difference and help your clients attain the best possible chance at evidence based care during pregnancy and labor.
The 3-hour Savvy Birth Pro Workshop will succeed in preparing you to help your clients assert their right to evidence based care in a respectful way that builds bridges, not walls. We believe the inspirational knowledge you will gain from the Savvy Birth Pro Workshop will have a positive ripple effect that extends to your clients, the professionals you work with and your community!
You’re no longer alone in the quest to help more families receive respectful, high quality maternity care! The Savvy Birth Pro Workshop does more than provide great skills; it creates a strong community of connected professionals who together share this important mission.
