Find the right class for you

Hi, I’m haley
A registered nurse and internationally board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC). I have spent the first ten years of my career as a labour and delivery nurse, helping families welcome their little ones into this world, and the last four years I have worked in public health, helping families transition to life at home. With two little ones myself, I know first-hand that welcoming a baby can be hard! The best way to feel supported is to prepare ahead and have someone in your corner.
I’m excited to be that someone for you.
Take home support
Practical guides for pregnancy, birth, and the first weeks with baby.
A FREE printable, digital checklist for what to bring to the hospital for you, your support person and your baby.
This birth plan is built for the two of you, not the hospital. Most care teams don’t have time to read a long birth plan. What makes the difference is a support person who knows your wishes well enough to speak up for you. This guided couple’s workbook helps you work out what matters to you, get on the same page, and walk into your birth feeling prepared and confident.
Inside you’ll find:
Side-by-side prompts for the birthing parent and support person to answer separately, then compare
An “Exploring our options” table that shows where you agree and what needs a conversation
A comfort and pain relief plan, including a code word for “I really mean it”
The BRAIN decision-making tool and simple phrases to use with your care team
Caesarean and “if plans change” preferences, so you’re ready for any birth
A one-page summary and a cut-out pocket card for your support person
A one-page digital timeline for new parents to guide you on what’s normal for a healthy, term newborn.
