Alyssa's Birth Class
Alyssa's Birth Class
After doing who knows how many classes, one of my gravid friends (sup @Hannah) told me I should make it a real thing. She came up with the name and after every class I did it was always in the back of my head.
Working part-time night shift with a savage toddler at home seemed like the perfect timing (shrug emoji). I truly eat this shit for breakfast and I LOVE when any of my knowledge or experience can help someone else- especially at such a vulnerable/important/life-changing time.
I'm always amazed at how quickly my patients trust me and what I'm there to do for them and I do not take that lightly. Taking care of friends and family has put my perspective of what and how I do it in an entirely different light. To be able to share what I know with anyone and everyone, especially the people I love, is an absolute honor and I think this shit is magic.
What to expect from the class:
What to expect from the class:
I guide you through the entire process, from start to finish, covering all the possible scenarios and what to expect. I don’t need you to remember every detail, but things can progress quickly and it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed when a lot of people are suddenly in the room.

In those fast-paced moments, it's hard to explain everything or anticipate every situation beforehand. My goal is to prepare you so that when things do move quickly—whether it's placing an internal monitor, repositioning you, or discussing the next steps—you won't feel blindsided. Instead, you'll be able to recall, 'Okay, I've heard of that,' and feel more in control.
