GUIDING YOU BOTH TOWARD A CONFIDENT BIRTH
FINALLY—CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION THAT PREAPRES COUPLES, TAUGHT BY A COUPLE.
At Our BirthRoom®, we believe confident birth doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when both of you feel informed, supported, and ready to advocate for the birth you actually want.
Created by a Physician Assistant + Family Doctor duo—with over 25 years of combined experience and four natural births of our own—Our BirthRoom® is where medical insight meets real-life birth wisdom. We don’t just teach birth. We train teams.
Because it took two to get here… and now it’ll take two to do this birth thing with confidence.
CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION
Evidence-based classes to help you understand and work with labor, not against it.
PARTNER TRAINING
Your partner becomes your BirthRoom Daddy Doula™, equipped to support and advocate for you.
COACHING SESSIONS
Community support and expert guidance to reinforce your learning.
Birth isn’t just about the moment—it’s about the journey.
Let’s make yours an empowered one.
THAT FEELING YOU’RE FEELING? WE’VE BEEN THERE.
Imagine you’re 32 weeks pregnant and just finished touring the hospital where you plan to give birth…
You walked in excited and curious, only to leave feeling uneasy and anxious. By the time you get home, you can’t get over the higher risk you might be taking by choosing a hospital birth—the higher likelihood of induction, unnecessary intervention, and c-section. So, you get home and begin researching alternative ways to have your baby.
That was me during my first pregnancy.
I knew the health gap for Black moms was real—inadequate prenatal care, higher rates of c-section, preterm labor, and low birth weight.
My husband, Stephen, a Family Medicine resident at the time, saw these inequities firsthand. But I wondered—was I strong enough for a natural birth? And how would I handle people thinking I was crazy for considering it outside of a hospital?
TRUSTING MY BODY AND TAKING A LEAP OF FAITH LED US TO FOUR NATURAL BIRTHS AND ALLOWED US TO HELP OTHER PARENTS HAVE DEEPLY SATISFYING AND POSITIVE BIRTHS OF THEIR OWN.
WHY WE BUILT THIS
We’ve seen the gaps—moms left out of decisions, partners unsure how to help, and families overwhelmed by fear and outdated information. That’s why we created a different kind of childbirth class. One that speaks to:
First-time parents who want clarity, not chaos.
Partners ready to be more than just “support people.”
Families healing from past birth trauma.
Couples of all backgrounds, empowered to birth their way.
Our classes combine evidence-based strategy and partner-focused training that equips you both to step into labor with clarity and confidence.
IT’S YOUR PREGNANCY. OF COURSE IT’S OKAY TO LOOK FOR DIFFERENT OPTIONS.
I’ve seen birth from both sides—the clinical and the personal. As a Physician Associate, I witnessed hospital deliveries, from smooth, joyful births to intense c-sections and difficult recoveries. I knew I wanted to explore a different path when I became pregnant. I wanted to try something different.
That led me deep into research, where I discovered alternatives and holistic ways to give birth.
Learning about physiologic birth changed everything for us. We combined our medical backgrounds with our personal birth experiences to create Our BirthRoom®, a space dedicated to helping parents feel informed, confident, and supported in their birth choices.
Our BirthRoom® is a testament to the passion that blossomed from our transformative encounters with natural birth and continues to thrive through our cherished students. Our passion for this work has only grown stronger through the families we’ve served.
To date, our students have had cesarean rates far below the national average, and every full-term baby has been born at a healthy birth weight. We’ve also seen only one case of preeclampsia—an outcome that speaks to the power of education, preparation, and informed decision-making. Many of our students have gone on to use the same lessons for subsequent pregnancies, approaching each birth with even more confidence.
For us, choosing a natural birth was the best decision we ever made—four times over. And now, nothing brings us more joy than guiding families through their own birth journeys, ensuring they feel empowered, prepared, and truly heard.
