Why We Created This Course
Being Naturopathic Doctors, we saw the gap in prenatal and postpartum support from conception through to postpartum care for our patients. Often, prenatal courses are only considered in late pregnancy, to help prepare for childbirth and not to provide support for a woman throughout her pregnancy. In addition to this, you often don’t see your healthcare provider (beyond confirmation of pregnancy) until you are at least 8 weeks pregnant, and many women have lots of questions prior to this!
Being mamas, we know how exciting and overwhelming the pregnancy and postpartum journey can be. While there are always lots of relatives and loved ones ready to provide advice, often knowing where to turn for reliable and easy to access information can be more difficult. We want you to be able to focus on enjoying this journey!
The Benefits Of Taking This Course
After taking this course, you will feel:
Confident in your experience and decisions surrounding pregnancy, labour and postpartum
Free from needing to consult Doctor Google
Free from the weight of unwanted advice or opinions from others
Empowered and excited to welcome your new baby into your family
This isn’t just a course on childbirth - so many areas focus on childbirth (and while this is important and we cover it thoroughly), childbirth is one day in a year long journey into motherhood!
