Preparing for Parenthood: Prep Course

What if you could start your parenting journey feeling grounded, prepared, and confident instead of overwhelmed and second-guessing everything?

What if you didn’t have to just wing it?

It seems like everyone has a birth story to share—sometimes, whether you want to hear it or not—but helpful advice and a clear picture for what happens after birth? That’s harder to come by.

You’ve probably heard it before:
  • “No one really knows what they’re doing.”
  • “You’ll just figure it out.”
  • “Trust your instincts.”
  • “You’ll just know what to do.”

It’s often said with a reassuring smile and maybe a quip about how it’s all a blur anyway. But somehow, it doesn’t feel all that reassuring. Instead, it can leave new parents feeling like they should just “know” how to handle everything—even when in reality, that expectation often falls short.

Parenthood is one of life’s biggest transitions, and for many, it feels like everything changes overnight—your rhythms, routines, relationships, identity, even your body. Making mistakes, feelings of uncertainty, feeling challenged, questioning your choices, and growing in ways you never expected…that’s all part of the journey. But it’s rarely part of the conversation.

So it’s no wonder so many first-time parents feel overwhelmed, unsure, and underprepared.

If you’re feeling anxious or uncertain about what comes next, it’s not because you’re doing anything wrong. It’s because the kind of support you actually need—emotional, practical, and realistic—just isn’t offered often enough.

Becoming a parent is a big deal — but most of the preparation advice stops at the birth.

Becoming a parent is a big deal—but most of the preparation advice stops at the birth.

Let’s talk about what this actually feels like:
  • You want to feel ready—but you don’t even know what “ready” looks (or feels) like.
  • You feel like you’re missing something…but you’re not always sure what questions to ask.
  • You’ve tried Googling, but half the advice contradicts the other half—and it doesn’t always align with how you want to parent.
  • You have a stack of books, a million open tabs, and a growing sense of anxiety that you’re already behind, feeling short on time, energy, and maybe even patience.
  • And maybe, just maybe, there’s a quiet voice in the back of your mind wondering if you’ll still recognize yourself, your life, or your relationship on the other side of all this.

Sound familiar?

If you're being honest...trying to prepare for this next chapter already feels like a lot.

If you're being honest, trying to prep already feels like a lot.

See What's Included

Not perfectly prepared (because no one ever is)—but informed, equipped, and supported—with a clearer idea of what to expect and how to navigate it.

Imagine how it would feel to...
  • Have a thoughtful, personalized plan for support, self-care, and connection after your baby arrives.
  • No longer feel overwhelmed by advice, because you finally know what matters to you.
  • Talk through your questions with someone who gets it—and walk away feeling calmer, clearer, and less confused.
  • Have the space to prepare emotionally, not just logistically.

And instead of second-guessing yourself at every turn, you enter parenthood grounded in your values, with informed intuition, better equipped to grow into this next version of yourself.

That version of you? The one who feels confident, capable, and ready?
They're not so far away.

➡️ And that’s exactly what I’ll help you achieve through Preparing for Parenthood. You'll feel emotionally grounded, practically prepared, and supported as you step into this next chapter.

Imagine how it would be to actually feel ready.

Imagine if you could actually feel ready


Feeling prepared for parenthood isn’t just about taking a childbirth class or buying the right gear. It’s about building real confidence by informing your intuition, not just hoping it will show up when you need it.

Because, in reality, intuition isn’t born from instincts alone. And it's not built by cramming for every possible scenario, hoping you’ll remember it all, or relying on checklists to save you.

It’s built through experience, reflection, and support.

But most of the advice out there? It’s either too specific to be truly helpful, too generic to be meaningful, or too overwhelming to be practical. Plus, it rarely includes the direct support you need or makes space for the unique individual that you are—your personality, values, relationships, and needs.

That’s why this course isn’t just an item to put on your checklist.

It’s a flexible framework for thoughtful, personalized preparation—the kind that helps you grow into your role as a parent, integrate your changing identity, and build the support network you need.

So you’re not just winging it.
You’re grounded, informed, and supported.
You’re ready to show up for yourself and your family—with confidence.

Preparing is about more than checking boxes—but it doesn’t have to feel complicated.

Preparing is about more than checking boxes—but it doesn’t have to feel complicated.

As a new parent, I remember thinking time and again, “Why didn’t anyone tell me?”

I thought I had prepared the right way.
  • I had a thorough registry and a nursery ready.
  • I read books and took classes.
  • The baby clothes were washed. The car seat was installed.

I checked all the boxes. But deep down? I still knew I wasn’t ready.
I felt anxious, overwhelmed, and unsure how to prepare for the emotional and identity shifts that were already happening—just from thinking about parenthood.

That quiet internal chaos—the questions, fears, self-doubt, and invisible mental load—was all-consuming. And I felt completely alone with those big feelings.

No one really talked about it. I didn’t even know what questions to ask — or who to ask them to. And it wasn’t until years later that I realized just how far from alone I really was.

That’s why I created Preparing for Parenthood.

As a certified birth doula and childbirth educator—but even more so as someone who’s been there—I knew we could do a better job helping parents prepare for the “unpreparable” journey that comes after birth.

Through my work supporting over 100 growing families, hundreds of hours of education and learning, and my own parenting journey—I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it is to feel grounded, supported, and emotionally prepared as you enter parenthood.

It's about finding clarity in the noise, calm in the chaos, and confidence in your capacity for growth as you step into this next chapter.

And that’s exactly what I’m here to help you do.

This isn't just my work

Unlike traditional prep classes that focus solely on labor and newborn care, this course goes deeper by preparing you for the emotional rollercoaster, practical changes, and identity shifts that come up as you grow into your role as a parent.

It’s not just a “how to” course—it’s a “who you are” course, focused on helping you feel clear, capable, and connected, with real tools to navigate the common challenges of early parenthood.

A flexible, parent-centric course that helps expecting parents feel grounded, confident, and better prepared for the realities of life as a new parent.

Preparing for Parenthood

Introducing...

“What truly distinguishes the From Pregnant to Parent program is the unwavering commitment to preparing parents for birth and the whirlwind that follows.

My sessions leading up to birth were not just informative, they were invaluable, equipping me with knowledge, strategies, and above all, a sense of calm amidst the anticipation of our first kid.

And the postpartum support group became a sanctuary during the chaos of the early months. Surrounded by fellow parents navigating similar waters, I found solace, understanding, and practical advice.

It's where my exhaustion met empathy, confusion met clarity, and overwhelming emotions found a safe space to be expressed. I cannot recommend this community enough! This isn't just a service but a lifeline for the transition from pregnancy to parenthood.”

What we'll explore together

Course Topics

Becoming a parent is one of life’s biggest emotional shifts. It’s not just about joy and love (though those are part of it)—it’s also about uncertainty, self-doubt, and moments when you feel totally unprepared.

In this session, you’ll learn:
  • How to make sense of your changing emotions — so you don’t feel blindsided by the intensity of this transition.
  • Why the difference between change and transition matters — and how it can shape your experience as a new parent.
  • When to seek support — including a deeper dive into Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) and signs what you’re feeling is more than just the “baby blues.”

You’ll leave this session feeling more prepared to face the emotional ups and downs of parenthood—knowing you’re not alone, and that “normal” is a wide spectrum.

Topic 1 - Mental Health | Identity | Emotional Resilience

Navigating the emotional rollercoaster

Parenthood has a way of changing us. This topic is all about integrating that role into the person you already are, without losing the parts of yourself that matter most to you.

In this session, you’ll learn:
  • How to define your whole self — so you can show up as a parent and an individual, without feeling lost in the process.
  • Why a strong sense of self matters — for purpose, decision-making, self-confidence, and more fulfilling relationships.
  • How to align your values and actions — so you can make choices that feel authentic, even as your identity shifts and grows.

You’ll leave this session feeling more connected to who you are, more confident in the choices you make, and more prepared to integrate your evolving identity as you grow into this new role.

Topic 2 — Self-Discovery | Identity | Personal Growth

Embracing the identity shift of parenthood

The first year of parenting is a whirlwind of changes and challenges. This session covers what to expect in those early days and beyond, so you can feel more prepared and less overwhelmed as you grow into your role as a parent.

In this session, you’ll learn:
  • What to expect in the first hours, days, and months — from the “Golden Hour” to the realities of round-the-clock care.
  • How to meet your baby’s basic needs — including feeding, diapering, sleep, and soothing, without overthinking every choice.
  • Why realistic expectations are essential — and how to prepare for the messier, more unpredictable parts of the first year.

You’ll leave this session feeling more prepared for the first year of parenthood—ready to meet your baby’s needs without losing yourself in the process.

Topic 3 — Newborn Care | Practical Prep | Infant Development

Caring for your new baby

The old saying is true: it really does take a village. But building that village is a skill, not just a matter of luck. This session is all about creating a network of people you can lean on, both in the early days and as your family grows.

In this session, you’ll learn:
  • How to identify the support you actually need — and match those needs with the right people in your life.
  • Why it’s okay to ask for help — and how to overcome the guilt, fear, or cultural expectations that might be holding you back.
  • How to create a flexible, evolving support system — so you can adjust as your needs and your baby’s needs change.

You’ll leave this session feeling more prepared to lean on your community, communicate your needs clearly, and set healthy expectations for the support you deserve.

Topic 4 — Support Systems | Connection | Community


Building your parenting village

Parenting can put a strain on even the strongest relationships. This session is all about staying connected, setting clear expectations, and learning to share the mental load before resentment sets in.

In this session, you’ll learn:
  • How to strengthen your connection as co-parents — including practical strategies for nurturing intimacy and emotional closeness.
  • How to communicate clearly and with empathy — so you can avoid common roadblocks like negative sentiment override and stonewalling.
  • Why sharing the mental load matters — and how to divide responsibilities in a way that feels fair and supportive for both of you.

You’ll leave this session feeling more prepared to tackle parenthood as a team, communicate openly, and support each other through this major life transition.


Topic 5 — Communication | Connection | Mental Load


Partnering as parents

Caring for yourself as you care for your little one isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. This final session is all about equipping you to juggle your needs with your little one’s, find moments of joy in the midst of the chaos, and hold onto the parts of yourself that still matter.

In this session, you’ll learn:
  • How to prioritize your recovery — including tips for physical healing, emotional well-being, and the unique challenges of both vaginal and cesarean recovery.
  • How to navigate the sleep struggles of early parenthood — including practical tips for managing exhaustion and creating a family sleep plan.
  • How to enjoy more of parenthood — by setting realistic expectations, rejecting comparison, and finding confidence in your own unique path.

You’ll leave this session feeling more prepared for the ongoing transitions of parenthood as you come through the "messy middle" to your new normal, your life as a parent.

I worked with Richelle to prepare for the birth of my son as well as sleep consultations at various stages. She offered such a nonjudgmental, safe, and collaborative environment where we were able to come up with a variety of solutions and ideas to try so that we could ultimately find answers that worked for our baby and our individual family needs.

This was not a simple to do list to prepare or set of rules to follow but rather personalized discussions to learn about our specific wants and needs so she was able to offer support, knowledge, and resources that felt unique to us! Would highly recommend working with Richelle for pregnancy, parenting, sleep, and beyond!

Client Love

In my first years of parenthood, I found myself wondering if I’d ever feel like me again.

Spoiler alert: I did—but not by going back. I had to grow into a new version of myself. One that honored who I used to be and made space for the person and parent I was becoming. It was a journey of personal growth I never saw coming—one that changed everything.

It didn’t take long before my story became my mission. I was convinced there had to be a better way to not only prepare people for parenthood—but to support them through the early years, not just the early days.

Today, I help parents like you find your footing when everything around you is shifting—so you can reconnect with yourself, show up with confidence, and create a version of parenthood that actually feels good.

Because yes—it is possible to be a good parent without losing yourself.

This program was designed for first-time parents who are currently navigating pregnancy and preparing for birth and parenthood. However, there’s still a lot to gain if you’re a single parent, adoptive parent, or utilizing a surrogate. While some sections are tailored to the biological transition into parenthood, the majority of the material will still be relevant. You’ll find the sessions on identity shifts, emotional health, and parenting village building especially valuable.

A note about partners: Partners aren’t just welcome—they’re encouraged to join for as many sessions as possible, especially if you choose the live coaching or in-person options. Understanding what to expect, how to share the mental load, and how to support each other through this transition can make a huge difference in your experience as new parents.

This isn’t a typical class and it's not exactly a retreat—but it does pull from the best parts of both. It’s an intimate, immersive experience designed to create a cozy, brave space where you can get vulnerable, ask big questions, and prepare for the challenges ahead.

We’ll spend 2 to 4 days together in a small group, working our way through all six core topics, plus a dedicated birth prep session covering labor, comfort measures, and early postpartum recovery.

What to Expect:
  • Meaningful Group Discussions – Share your hopes, fears, and curiosities in a safe, supportive space.
  • Hands-On Learning – Interactive exercises, storytelling, and practical skill-building.
  • Shared Meals – Enjoy a catered meal each day, with ample time to connect, reflect, and care for your needs.
  • Open Q&A – Plenty of time to ask questions, share your thoughts, and get real-time feedback.

We’ll cover big topics and small details, make time for self-care and community, and give you a chance to connect with others who “get it”.

You’ll leave with a full heart, a clearer mind, and a stronger sense of what kind of parent you want to be.

It’s completely normal to wonder if this program is the right use of your time, energy, and money, especially with so much on your plate right now. Between appointments, preparing for baby, and planning for time away from work, it can feel overwhelming.

And let’s not forget — you're growing a human! Finding the energy for anything extra is tough, and it probably feels like you're spending money left and right.

You're probably even wondering: won't my "parental instincts" be enough?

But deep down, there's a part of you that knows you don’t want 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.

You don’t need to do this alone. Let’s get you feeling prepared and confident, together.
