LABOR NURSE MAMA
Our Birth Classes are like nothing else on the market!
THE CONVENIENCE OF SELF-PACED LEARNING
It’s completely self-paced, so you can study from the app or stream to your TV anytime!
A TAILORED APPROACH TO PLANNING
It walks you through step by step exactly what to expect, how to make decisions, and how to change your plans when presented with new information. No one-size-fits-all advice here.
STRATEGIES FOR INFORMED DECISION MAKING
We prepare you to avoid unnecessary medical interventions once at the hospital but also set you up for success if you end up with a c-section.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR OPTIONS
Our class empowers you and prepares you for any choice you make — home birth, hospital birth, medicated, or non-medicated. We want you to understand how to make choices — not have them made for you.
INSTRUCTION WITHOUT HOSPITAL INFLUENCE
We’re not affiliated with your hospital or any other brand, so our instruction is unbiased and unabashedly in YOUR favor. Not hospital policies like dumb sh*t such as no eating or YOU MUST STAY IN THE BED!
MAKING EDUCATION A SHARED EXPERIENCE
Your partner, mom, MIL, or bestie can learn alongside you — or at their own pace. No schedule coordination or classes after a long day of work.
Hey, I'm Trish, a labor nurse + childbirth educator
I've been a high-risk labor and delivery nurse for over 16 years, and I've given birth six times myself (no, that's not a typo!). I've helped deliver thousands of babies, and my goal is for you to know your incredible capabilities and feel confident in bringing your baby into this world. Your body was made for this.
As much as I'd love to speak out in the delivery room, my role as a nurse is limited to following your provider's orders. About five years ago, I had a breaking point when I couldn't do enough to change the birth culture.
That's when I decided to start Labor Nurse Mama. My birth classes combine all my experiences to give you the knowledge you need to make choices for your birth. Remember, if you don't know your options, you don't have any!”

Use Insurance to pay
Empowerment through education isn't just a mantra; it's a proven pathway to a smoother birth experience. Insurance companies recognize this truth: An educated mother is a well-prepared patient, leading to potentially lower costs and improved outcomes for both mother and child. That's why many insurers are now covering childbirth education classes.
So, before you join our transformative birth class series, check with your insurance provider — they might cover the cost because when you know more, they spend less. If they do, simply submit your receipt for reimbursement. Alternatively, you can also use your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to join our classes. Invest in your well-being and your baby's health by educating yourself for the journey ahead. Enroll now and take the first step towards a confident, informed birthing experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes your birth course different than others?
This is an all-inclusive birth course taught by a labor and delivery nurse with 16 + years of experience. I have 3 doulas on my team ready to answer your questions in the community.
I am not affiliated with any hospital or brand and only want what's best for YOU and your baby.
In other words, your interest is my main goal.
Do you have a community?
Yes! We have our student community on facebook! Your link to join in module 1!
What if I want a VBAC?
Choose the VBAC lab; this is not just a module slapped onto a birth course. I am passionate about your beautiful redemptive birth.
This all-inclusive VBAC-focused birth course is designed with the cesarean patient in mind.
We do a virutal zoom once a month as well.
This course teaches you how to patiently navigate a slow VBAC labor with understanding and power.
How much time do I need to take the course?
I am so glad you asked. We get this question often. Calm Labor Course is completely self-paced, so you can watch in snippets of time over a couple of weekends or sit down and binge the whole thing in less than 4-6 hours. Depending on how many weeks you are. (We recommend skipping the navigating early pregnancy choices if you are over 39 weeks.)
I'm not preggo yet, how long do I have to access?
Girl, this course is yours for life.
You can also add the membership option and then join the birth class at around 34 weeks.
You will have access to the course and any updates forever. It's yours to explore at your own pace. You can do this course any time throughout your pregnancy – or even if you are planning a future pregnancy. Doing the course before you're pregnant would give you tools that are invaluable for making decisions about your pregnancy.
I'm in my 3rd trimester, is it too late to take the course?
Absolutely not! Unless you're about to start pushing, chances are you've got time to review the videos and learn a ton. This is totally self-paced, so you can work on it at any time and complete it all in less than 4-6 hours.
Plus you can add the virtual services now, to get our famous labor bat signal, doula services.
I'm not a first time mom. Can I still benefit from this?
Yes! Especially if your last birth didn't go as smoothly as you wanted. Birthing a baby isn't something you do every day – studying up on how to make things go in your favor is always a good idea.
This birth you will be in control and the queen of the room!
I'm planning on a home birth, is this course for me?
Definitely. I will walk you through all the pain management techniques you need and you'll appreciate my advice helping you to avoid interventions including going to the hospital.
We love home birth and birth center births around here. They Rock!
I'm scared, what if I can't do this?
Your body is perfect. Your body was made to birth this baby. This baby was made for YOUR body. Birth is not new. Women throughout all of history have been birthing babies. You've got this.
What is your Virtual Services?
Mama, this is a truly unique opportunity where you'll have unrestricted access to my doulas, health coaches, and me!
Monthly workshops ranging from pregnancy to baby must-knows. Our network of experts is coming alongside you through QA's and workshops.

What if I end up being a scheduled cesarean?
Don't worry mama, we include the basic tools needed for a cesarean. You also have access to our powerful Belly Birth Class inside Calm Mama Society as a member.
What if I have a doula?
Having a doula is an absolute game-changer! Their hands-on support is incredible and can truly transform your birth experience. But guess what? Evidence-based education can have the same impact.
Here's the deal: you don't want to leave your birth up to chance or rely solely on someone else. You need to be in charge, fully empowered, and understand every step of your pregnancy and birth journey. It's time to take control! 💪🤰
Is this class HSA/FSA eligible? (Insurance covered?)
Our birth classes are eligible for FSA/HSA reimbursement under most insurance plans. In some cases, you can use your FSA or HSA to pay directly for the classes.
We've also seen some insurance plans cover a portion of the fee if not all of the cost of the classes, but this seems to be not as common.
When you enroll, you will be sent a receipt, the insurance billing codes are included, please keep this to send to your company. Some insurance companies also require more info. Please reach out to [email protected] for more help.
What if I don't want the Virtual Labor Support or Community?
No worries, just choose the birth class stand alone option at checkout.
