HONEYLEAF BIRTH & BABY

Empowered birth. Nurtured postpartum. Happy baby.

Childbirth & Parenting Classes for Intuitive Parenting.

I will be on maternity leave from mid-February to early June. If you are due in that time, sign up for a birth class early! The last date I will be offering is February 1st, and will resume again in June.

Licensed Midwife, Educator, Quinn’s Mama

I have been caring for families and their children as far back as I can remember. First just as a babysitter, then nanny, daycare worker, preschool teacher, doula, then finally as a Midwife. It’s been nearly a decade since I attended my first birth, with 6 of those years spent catching babies with Wenatchee Midwife Service & Birth Center. My passion and expertise is in physiological birth, newborn care, infant feeding, and intuitive parenting practices.

Since the birth of my daughter, Quinn, I felt called to stay home with her as long as possible. I have stopped attending births for now and have instead put my energy into Honeyleaf Birth & Baby. Named for the Ancient Greek word for Lemon Balm, a calming herbal medicine that works to soothe the nervous system, Honeyleaf classes will help families feel prepared and confident starting their parenting journey.

Childbirth Classes

How you birth matters. Approach the first time you meet your baby feeling ready for the wild ecstasy of birth. This class is designed for those seeking an unmedicated birth in any setting and focuses on preserving the natural hormones of labor.

Newborn Care & Postpartum Healing Class

Giving birth isn’t just the arrival of a new baby. It’s also a time for you to be reborn as an entirely new person with a changed body, mind, and heart. This class is designed to teach new parents how to heal and thrive after birth as well as meet all the needs of the newborn.

Postpartum Home Visits

One of the most crucial elements of successful postpartum healing is the ability to rest at home as long as possible with your new baby. For families choosing to discharge from the hospital early following an uncomplicated delivery, I offer postpartum home visits to assess the well-being of both baby and mother/parent.

Babyled Feeding Class

Many people believe that the only way to feed babies is spoon-feeding with purees. For those interested in learning how to instead include baby in the family meal and teach your little one the skills of self-feeding with whole foods, this class is a hands-on eating experience.

Private Classes

Although I keep my group classes small, some people prefer to commune in a private setting. If you would like to take any of classes privately, please e-mail me directly.

Private classes offered at the same price as a group class.

I also would be happy to consult on other parenting tools including short classes on:
- babywearing.
- cloth diapering and/or elimination communication.
- sign language for babies.

Gift Cards

Many people think of traditional gifts when their loved ones are welcoming a new baby. Truthfully, feeling confident and prepared goes so much deeper than any material item.

If you have a friend or family member that would benefit from the gift of knowledge and a deeper level of preparation, consider a gift card as your contribution.
