The Childbearing Society

I did two breastfeeding clinics (one in person and one online) and they were a gamechanger for my breastfeeding experience.after weeks of hunching over, propping up baby on pillows, and layering more and more techniques to my approach and still not having a consistently good feed, Lily showed me how to modify my posture, relax, lay back, and let baby do the latching.all of a sudden it felt so natural and easy. Kelsey also gave me invaluable advice about positioning that i use everytime we settle in to nurse, and insight about why certain issues were coming up for me.these clinics were super affordable, easy to book, and packed full of practical wisdom. I'm very grateful they were recommended to me!

The prenatal class was fantastic! Stephanie lead the weekend workshop and she is so knowledgeable and well spoken, it made the class very worthwhile and so enjoyable. We learned so much and it really put any worry or questions we had as new parents at ease.

We came to the Childbearing Society for their highly recommended prenatal in-person classes, which we found insightful and useful. The hands-on birth support positions for me and counterpoint pressure for my partner were very important to us to attend in person because we were preparing for an unmedicated birth. Our facilitator was knowledgeable, warm and open to everyone's birth plan, and she gave us a balanced view to the things (sometimes misconceptions) of what to expect during birth.

Now I'm attending the by-donation weekly Virtual Parenting Talks hosted by the Childbearing Society featuring insightful professionals in very relatable fields (feeding, development, relationships, mental health, finances, etc.) and I'm finding them invaluable to me as a new mom. I really appreciate Stephanie's approach in creating a welcoming and safe postpartum community for me/us.

TLDR: Amazing and lovely staff, I highly recommend!

Stephanie was an incredible instructor! My husband and I felt fully equipped with the skills and knowledge for my birth and life with a newborn. I highly recommend the Childbearing Society as a place that will augment your preexisting knowledge around pregnancy as well as provide you with new information that will help your transition into parenthood.

Great little place that offers huge support to expecting parents! I have been a part of the baby circle & it helped me so much as first time mom — definitely helped me bond better with my babe through the connections created during the sessions & learning experiences. Thank you!

It was a pleasure having Stephanie as our instructor. The class was very engaging, informative and enjoyable. We appreciated all the time and effort put into the details of every class, down to the relevant information boards in the washrooms. I'm so glad we took this class instead of just watching online videos. There's just so much more that those videos don't mention, especially all the evidence-based information.

Took the “Healthy Pregnancy” Seminar and Prenatal classes with hubby through Childbearing Society. They did such an amazing job with evidence-based information, practical ways to practice compassion throughout pregnancy and being overall supportive to any further questions. Will definitely be checking out their postpartum resources as well! Thank you so much <3

Taking the 7 week prenatal course was easily one of the best decisions we made for our pregnancy. We are first-time parents who felt a little dazed by all the information out there. Stephanie was an amazing teacher. We went home every week with lots of new things to discuss that we simply didn't know anything about beforehand. This course gave us lots of options to consider backed by data and also just made us feel simply more empowered to advocate for the birth we realized we could have. If this is your first birth, I couldn't recommend this course more.

My husband and I took prenatal classes with Stephanie and really enjoyed them! Although we did lots of research, reading and learning about birth before these classes, we still got a ton of useful information. Stephanie taught us pros and cons of different situations during birth and baby care, encouraging us to make our own decisions based on what we think is best for our family.
