Courses

This three-hour course is designed for partners, dads, spouses, and sweethearts who want to show up prepared with steadiness, clarity, intention, and quiet confidence during labor and birth. Come and be yourself. Beverages welcome… BYOB!

What to Expect

This course is intended for families who are not planning to have a doula or labor coach for their labor and delivery journey.

You’ve taken the Birth Education class. You understand why families hire doulas  and you also know you can level up and be there in a way no one else can. As pregnancy moves closer to birth, you may feel her shift from excitement to nervousness. This is where you step in.

You’ve heard the stories from friends. You’ve seen the movies where the partner drops the ball at the most important moment. That’s not going to be you. This is the class that teaches you how to become the person she looks to as her whole world changes. Someone who knows her, loves her, and can care for her when she needs it most. Because in that room, she will need you to help others understand who she is and what she needs so she can stay focused on the powerful work of giving birth.

Confident support changes everything. Birth is unpredictable. Your presence doesn’t have to be. This experience gives you the knowledge, language, and practical skills to support your partner calmly and confidently — without trying to turn you into someone you’re not. This class replaces uncertainty with quiet confidence.

You’ll leave knowing how to support, when to step in, and how to remain calm under pressure — skills that meaningfully shape the birth experience. Because confident support is one of the greatest gifts you can give while receiving one of life’s most important gifts — your child.

The class NYC parents wish they’d taken before giving birth.

After more than 20 years supporting families across NYC hospitals, one thing is clear: the families who feel the most confident aren’t necessarily the ones who know the most — they’re the ones who understand how birth actually unfolds in this environment.

That’s what we teach here.

Because let’s be real: who has time for weekly classes? Kerri’s class is tailored to your specific hospital, your provider, and most importantly — to you.
