Prepare for the Journey Ahead

preparing for parenthood

What if you didn't have to "wing it" as a new parent and figure it all out as you go?

This program was designed to change that. While it's true that there is no way to prepare for everything you're about to experience, we can absolutely do a better job preparing new parents for what's to come than we currently do.

We'll prepare you with the essential skills and knowledge you need to truly feel prepared for parenthood. And, we'll do it in a way that's optimized for adult learning with bite-sized education, mentorship, community, and ongoing support. 

Why didn't anyone tell me?

We've heard too many new parents (including us), ask the question...

A prep Group that's so much more than just a Class.

Group learning and Expert support designed to help you Navigate What's to Come with More confidence

Preparing for Parenthood

Introducing...

Preparing mentally and emotionally during pregnancy can reduce the risk of mood disorders (like postpartum anxiety and depression) and ease the transition to parenthood.

The New York Times

Maybe you've even seen friends or coworkers become parents and share stories of feeling overwhelmed and underprepared... and you want to approach parenthood in a proactive way to minimize those feelings in your own experience.

But you've started looking into the many books, courses, social media accounts, and other resources out there, and you wish someone would synthesize it all into one easy-to-follow, digestible program that includes live access to an expert for questions.

You want to want to feel prepared for parenthood, not just birth and basic newborn care (although those things are great, too), but this whole new chapter of your life.

You're here because your family is growing, and you know there has to be a better way to prepare.

A comprehensive program and community of support that doesn’t disappear after your baby arrives.

We've got what you're looking for.

Are you in?

You like to do your own research.
We get it.

Maybe you're wondering if this is worth the investment of your time, energy, and (let's be honest) money.

After all, you have a lot on your plate right now. There are so many appointments and things to do to get ready for your baby and prepare for the time away from work.

And, you're growing a human. Even if you do have the time, you're not sure you have the energy.

Plus, it likely already feels like you're spending money left and right preparing for your little one. You're wondering: won't my "parental instincts" be enough?

Despite all of this, there's STILL a part of you that would really rather not try to figure it all out on your own...and you really DO want to feel prepared instead of just "winging it" regardless of how "natural" parenting is supposed to feel.

Enhance your parenting intuition with knowledge, support, and realistic expectations.

You don't need to rely on instincts alone.

Whether you're a first-time parent or have been through this transition before, our expert coaches will set you up for success with a new skills, tools, and information while also holding space for you to share what you're experiencing, so you have the chance to feel seen and validated as you prepare.

  • No more overwhelm as you try to figure out what you need to know, what resources you can trust, and where to find that information.

  • No more cramming it all into one day or one long weekend class, hoping you retain even half the information you just learned.

  • No more wondering, "Am I the only one?" in a group with people you're sure you'll never talk to again.

A village of support to help you prepare

"From the very beginning, Richelle was genuine, warm, incredibly caring and extremely knowledgeable. I was blown away by the level of support she provided."

- Danielle, First-Time Mom


  • You’re committed to “figuring it out as you go” and would rather do it on your own.

  • Science-backed data, inclusive language, and research-based information aren’t a priority for you and maybe even turn you off.

  • Starting a family is a distant goal or you’ve already had your baby.

This may not be for you if...


  • You're preparing to welcome a new baby into your family.

  • You’re feeling eager to learn…even if you don’t quite know where to start or what questions to ask.

  • You want to expand your parenting village with peers and experts to guide and support you.

This is for you if...

Here's What You'll Get

LET'S RECAP...

Secure Your Spot

Instincts play an invaluable part in our role as parents. AND, knowledge, support, and realistic expectations are vital supporting characters.

But plenty of parents get by just fine without preparing, right? The truth is, regardless of how it seems on social media, even the most self-assured parents have their moments of doubt and wish they had more guidance.

You don't need to settle for figuring things out as you go. Equip yourself with the answers, information, and support you need.

Our program isn't just another appointment on your calendar; it's an investment in ease, clarity, and tools that can make your life simpler.

Let us help you cut through the noise, equip you with clear information, and provide you with practical guidance as you navigate pregnancy and prepare for what's to come.

You don't need to navigate parenthood on instincts alone.

Still have questions?
We've got answers.

Frequently Asked Questions

When you purchase the program, you also get access to a private online community that includes our coaches and the other members of your group. This is your space to ask questions, connect, and seek guidance between calls.

Inside that online community, you'll also get access to an exclusive resource library containing pre-recorded bonus modules that can be completed as either pre-work or homework between sessions. They're not required, but we do recommend watching them to learn even more about the topics we cover in our group calls.

You'll also get a copy of each presentation and the accompanying handouts, workbooks, guides, and tools to help you review and apply what you're learning during each session.

The best part is, you can access everything via an app on your phone to make it even easier to participate!

As but not least, as a thank you for your participation, we also give our group members exclusive discounts on 1:1 Coaching for the duration of the program and lifetime discounts on our other groups designed to support you after your baby is born as you navigate the newborn phase and adjust to life with your little one(s).

What's the time commitment? Are the sessions recorded?

What's the time commitment? Are the sessions recorded?

The Time Commitment:
The core component of this program is the group calls, which are held LIVE on Zoom. Each call is approximately 90-minutes long. You can view the full schedule on the checkout page. Click here to view the checkout page for more details.

Participation Commitment:
To get the most value out of this experience, we ask that you commit to showing up and participating in those calls. The pre-recorded bonus modules and "homework" will help you feel even MORE prepared. However, if showing up for those calls is all you do, you'll still be ahead of the game!

Recordings Policy:
We don't record sessions because we believe it's more important to create a safe space for open and honest sharing during discussions. Our commitment to privacy helps us make sure everyone to feel safe being vulnerable while discussing sensitive topics.

The good news is, the combination of the live calls, a resource library, and ongoing community support provides flexibility "when life happens" while preserving the integrity and intimacy of the group experience.

Who exactly is this program for? Are partners welcome?

Who exactly is this program for? Are partners welcome?

This program was designed with birthing mothers in mind, which means that is the primary audience we were considering when building this curriculum.

That being said, our program is designed to deliver a tailored and inclusive experience for more than just that audience, including:

Birthing parents who don't identify as "mothers."
We are committed to using inclusive language to create a safe space for everyone who needs and deserves support preparing for birth and parenthood.

Primary Caregivers who aren't giving birth. 
The only session that may not feel relevant to you is the session on preparing for birth (unless, of course, you will be supporting someone else through labor and birth, such as a partner, surrogate, or biological parent).

Partners
We are here for the partners who want to be equally as informed and prepared. So, we welcome partners to join any and all sessions. Have your partner join for 1 or 2 sessions, or invite them to join them all!

The best part about leading small groups in this way is that we can tailor the content specifically to each group and it's unique makeup of participants!

What's the cost? Are there any payment options or plans?

What's the cost? Are there any payment options or plans?

Investing in our "Preparing for Parenthood" program is not just about a price tag; it's an investment in your well-being, support, and preparation as you embark on this incredible journey. Here's how we've structured the cost to make it as accessible as possible:

  • Full Payment Option: You can choose to pay for the entire program upfront for a one-time payment of $285 USD. This is perfect if you prefer to make a single payment and have everything taken care of right away.

  • Payment Plans: We understand that financial flexibility is essential, especially during this significant life transition. That's why we offer various payment plan options, allowing you to spread the cost over several installments. You can either make 2 monthly payments of $145 USD ($190 total) or 3 monthly payments of $99 USD ($297 total). For the payment plans, you'll make your first payment at signup. Additional payments will be processed automatically one time per month until all payments have been made.

  • Sliding Scale Spaces: We are committed to making this program accessible to a wide range of families. We have a limited number of sliding scale spaces in each group, which allows us to accommodate various financial situations. For more information about this opportunity, please email hello@frompregnanttoparent.com.

We believe that preparation, support, and knowledge should be accessible to every future parent. We've created these options to help ensure that no one misses out on this vital resource due to financial reasons.

How long will I have access to the resources and community?

How long will I have access to the resources and community?

We are currently committed to hosting the resources and private community space for up to two (2) years after the start of the first group call, which means you'll retain full access to the resource library and community feed during this period.

All group members are also currently given access to our broader online community, the From Pregnant to Parent Village. You'll continue to maintain access to that community for as long as that community exists (or until you choose to leave).

If any of this changes, we're committed to communicating these updates via email to all of our impacted members with ample time to address any concerns you have.

What support will I get during and after the program?

What support will I get during and after the program?

During the program, you'll have access to support during our live calls, in our online community, and through optional add-ons.

Live Calls
During every group coaching call, there is time for discussion and questions.

Online Community
Between calls, this is your space to "show your work," ask for additional resources, seek guidance, and share more about your pregnancy experience. The internet can be a scary place during pregnancy and early parenthood, so we encourage group members to use this space! There are no silly questions, and we work hard to make sure it's a judgment-free zone!

Optional Add-Ons
Members of our groups also have the option to add an addition session to help you prepare for your hospital birth or purchase private coaching sessions at a discounted rate if there's something you want to discuss in more detail.

After the Program
We will keep the group community space open for up to two (2) years after the start of the first group call. However, our coaches will no longer be active participants in this space.

Want support from our coaches after the program?
All group members are also currently given access to our broader online community, The From Pregnant to Parent Village. You also have the option to join another group if there is one applicable to your current phase, or you can book a private coaching call with one of our coaches. Click here to view our other offerings.

What if I want private coaching?

If you're interested in private coaching, you have two convenient options:

2. Explore Fully-Customized Private Coaching:

Whichever option you choose, our skilled coaches are here to provide the support and guidance you need on your journey from pregnancy through the early years of parenthood.

Break down the cost for me...

This seems expensive. Break down the cost for me...

We understand that the cost may seem high at first glance (especially if you're comparing this to a traditional childbirth education class), and we want to assure you that there's significant value packed into this program. Here's a breakdown of what you're paying for:

  1. Two-Way Experience: You won't be just sitting in a lecture; you'll be engaging in interactive sessions and guided discussions with experts. You'll also receive personalized guidance and connect with a supportive community that gets it.
  2. Access to Coaches: Between sessions, our coaches are available to answer your questions and provide additional support. The more you take advantage of this component of the program, the more value you'll get out of it!
  3. Expert Knowledge: Our coaches have poured their extensive experience, knowledge, and passion into the materials and resources to ensure you receive the best information to feel as prepared as possible.
  4. Comprehensive Content: The program includes a unique combination of live calls, pre-recorded modules, online community access, and optional add-ons, all designed to cater to your unique needs.

As a private coaching experience, this same offering costs $1497 (which breaks down to $499 per month).

To make the program more accessible, we offer a few options:

  • Payment Plans: We offer two different payment options to accommodate your budget.
  • Sliding Scale Spots: There are a limited number of spaces available at a sliding scale rate in every one of our groups for those who may need financial assistance.

Want more information about the sliding scale spaces? Send us an email at hello@frompregnanttoparent.com.

Our commitment is to provide a comprehensive and supportive experience that helps you navigate your journey from pregnancy to parenthood. We believe the investment reflects the quality and depth of the services provided.

How is this different from other options out there?

How is this different from other options out there?

Our program is uniquely designed to go beyond traditional childbirth and parenting preparation classes, focusing on an integrated, holistic approach. There are plenty of options out there offering one piece of our program, but we don't see many (if any) options out there that offer such a comprehensive program that includes all of these pieces:

  • Expert Guidance: Our coaches are highly qualified and specialized in their fields. We're not just doulas, therapists, or parental leave coaches--we're all of these and more. Our collective expertise ensures you receive well-rounded support.
  • Tailored Experience: The program is not a one-size-fits-all approach. The curriculum is the same every time, but we also recognize the uniqueness of each participant and tailor the content to suit the individual needs and makeup of the group.
  • Inclusive Approach: We strive to use inclusive language and make space for all birthing parents, primary caregivers, and their partners, recognizing diverse family structures and needs.
  • Live Interaction & Community Support: Unlike many pre-packaged online courses, our program includes live Zoom calls, facilitating real-time interaction, discussion, and support. The community space for discussion between sessions fosters connections and provides additional guidance.
  • Comprehensive Curriculum: From preparing for childbirth to navigating early parenthood, our curriculum covers a wide spectrum of topics. It's not just about birth preparation but also building realistic expectations, mental wellness, and the long-term enjoyment of parenthood.
  • Long-Term Access to Resources: We provide access to our resource library and community space for up to two years, ensuring continued support and a space for connection well after the program's completion.
  • Optional Private Coaching: For those looking for more personalized attention, we offer the option to add private coaching sessions at a discounted rate.
  • Emphasis on Safe Space: We prioritize creating a safe and judgment-free zone, encouraging open and honest discussions about sensitive topics, something that may not be available in more conventional settings.
  • Payment Flexibility: We offer multiple payment options and a limited number of sliding scale spots to make the program as accessible as possible to a broader audience.
  • No-Questions-Asked Refund Policy: Our commitment to your satisfaction is backed by a straightforward refund policy if the program does not meet your expectations or you decide it's not for you after our first group call.

In a landscape filled with diverse offerings, our program emphasizes personalization, inclusivity, ongoing support, and expertise. We're not just preparing you for birth; we're preparing you for parenthood, providing a comprehensive and nurturing environment unlike anything else available.

Feel free to reach out at hello@frompregnanttoparent.com if you have more specific questions about how our program compares to others you might be considering!
