Our Prenatal
Program
Prepare for birth with a program designed to support you, your partner, and your growing family with confidence and clarity. Led by a Perinatal RN with real-world experience at Victoria General Hospital, this evidence-based, Lamaze-aligned series blends respectful, inclusive care with practical, hands-on learning.
You’ll gain the knowledge, skills, and reassurance you need for labour, birth, postpartum recovery, newborn care, and feeding—whether you’re planning a physiological birth or one with medical support. Throughout the program, you’ll learn how to stay calm, informed, and empowered, with guidance tailored to local maternity practices and an emphasis on reducing stress, worry, and fear.

FROM BIRTH TO BONDING:
Postpartum Wellness, Newborn Care and Breastfeeding
Prepare for your baby's arrival by focusing on a healthy pregnancy and creating a safe environment. We’ll introduce you to Lamaze International and the 6 Safe and Healthy Birth Practices, adapted from the WHO’s evidence-based practices.
We'll explore informed choices together and collaborate on your personalized birth preference plan.
We'll cover real-life labour scenarios and evidence-based options to discuss with your healthcare providers.
​
Build a strong support system, considering the support you need. Explore with your partner how they can meet your needs during labour and birth, ensuring a positive and supportive birthing experience.
​
In pregnancy, changes can affect your health, and challenges may arise. We will address common issues, navigate challenges, and know when to reach out to your healthcare provider.
​
Approach labour and birth with confidence. Explore topics like the onset of early labour, distinguishing true vs false labour and recognizing the signs that signal a hospital visit or a call to your healthcare provider.​​
Embark on the labour journey, where your pregnancy plans meet the reality of childbirth—a remarkable and sometimes unpredictable experience.
Discover the stages of physiological labour and birth, gaining insights and understanding the dramatic role hormones play.
Explore the concept of pain during labour, an inherent part of the birthing process that aids successful delivery.
Practice various strategies to manage pain, including both medicated and non-medicated approaches.
While some situations may require interventions like medications or surgery, being informed empowers you, eases anxiety, and promotes collaboration with your caregiver.
Regardless of your pregnancy's risk level, knowledge about potential challenges and interventions allows you to confidently plan for a joyful birth experience.
In the fourth stage of labour, or the Golden Hour, experience the joy of bonding as your newborn is placed on your chest.​​
Discover your baby's unique qualities, from appearance to innate abilities and behaviours.
​
Learn about the expected physical, emotional, and social changes post-birth, and find ways to ease your adjustment to parenthood.
Postpartum may bring unexpected challenges for some, including complications and troubling situations that can make the adjustment more difficult for new parents.
Explore baby care fundamentals and safety, including understanding newborn cues, soothing techniques and ensuring a safe, peaceful sleep.
During pregnancy, your body nourishes your baby, and after birth, breastfeeding continues this process. It plays a crucial role in your baby's growth, supports their immune system and encourages emotional growth, bonding, and attachment.
Learn proper latching techniques, hand expression, recognize signs of satisfaction during feeds, and identify potential breastfeeding challenges and solutions.

Meet your
Educator
As a RN specializing in labour and delivery and a Lamaze certified childbirth educator, I am thrilled to embark on this journey with you.
​
My primary goal is to provide guidance and support during the final weeks of your pregnancy, the labour and birth process, and the postpartum period as you nurture and bond with your newborn.
​
I believe in placing the birthing person and couple at the centre of care, recognizing that every person has their own unique experiences and stories. I view pregnancy, labour and birth as special opportunities to enhance self-confidence and foster a positive self-image. I bring additional expertise in trauma and mental health care to better support your unique needs.
