Social proof: testimonials
“I purchased this class for my partner and I. Most of the information is geared towards the pregnant woman, but I also found it very informative. Sylvia is great and I wish she could be our doula. I would highly recommend this course to expecting parents, especially if you feel anxious about what's to come. Informative stuff. Great job, Sylvia!”
“A MUST for new mom, Sylvia is wonderful! Her course answered all the looming questions I had as a new mom and provided so much more valuable information that has given me confidence in my ability to make it though a natural childbirth and I feel better prepared to take on this exciting new chapter!”
“Thank you so much, Sylvia. I started this course before being pregnant and finished now while being pregnant for the first time. You are such a warm person & this has been such an in depth class covering everything one could possibly want to know about birth & the postpartum period. 10/10 would recommend. :)”

I remember the immediate thought that came into my mind after I saw that second pink line for the first time on my pregnancy test: How will I do this? I knew I wanted a positive birthing experience, but had no clue where to start.
My husband may have studied engineering. But dealing with female mechanics? Not so much. So I decided to hire a doula for additional support. And it was such a game-changer for us that I never gave birth again without one.
Here’s what I know as someone who has attended over 200 births and had three of her own: The way a woman gives birth can have a lasting impact on the birth story she shares, how her body heals, how close she feels to her partner during and after the birthing experience, and even the bond she forms with her new baby.
Full disclosure—it still took blood, sweat and tears. But giving birth wasn’t the screamfest I imagined it would be (thanks for that, Hollywood). I was grounded in the moment. I walked around like an Amazon queen for days. And all because an amazing birth squad had my back…and I was encouraged to give birth my way, in my own time.
