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 a long dang time, (over 16 years over high risk travel nursing years!). And I’ve also given birth myself 6 times (<< nope, not a typo)
I’ve delivered thousands of babies (yep, I have the most incredible job in the world!) I want you to understand what you’re capable of. I want you to feel completely confident in your ability to bring this baby into the world (because, yes, that’s what your body was made to do). While I’d love to be there by your side and help you navigate the delivery room like a boss….but as your nurse my power to help you make choices are limited to what your provider orders me to do.
I had this moment about 5 years ago where I said ENOUGH! I was sitting on the bathroom floor in our breakroom crying. Ugly-snotty- crying. I had just taken a FTM mom to the OR for BS reasons and I was over it. But I felt like my hands were tied. I had no clue how I was going to help change the birth culture but I decided I had to try.
I had done everything I could to educate and empower my patient to advocate for her rights but it wasn't enough. I couldn't do enough.
So, I started educating online and hence Labor Nurse Mama was born.
Both of my birth classes combine all of my experience from over 16 years in the labor and delivery room — and gives you the knowledge you need to walk into your birth (no matter where you decide to deliver) with the power to choose. If you do not know your options, YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY!!!
As Seen On

Even though things went a little differently than I expected, I felt very empowered and I’m proud of my birth story.
Thank you for preparing me for everything from the first contractions to asking for delayed cord clamping. You seriously helped me more than you know!
This group, board, and guidance have been absolutely invaluable.
I was extremely comfortable asking questions, and making decisions, and even though nothing went according to my “plan”, I couldn't be any happier with the way everything went!!!
I cannot think of one thing I was surprised about/ contradicted the course material!
I took what the course said to heart.
I can’t thank you enough.
Overall, I was very blessed with an easy pregnancy and delivery.
I am so grateful for the information I was able to take with me from this course.
Even though my birth plan changed in the end, I still ended up with a labor and delivery that I am super proud of and that made me feel empowered.
I felt so educated and informed throughout the entire experience!
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially as a first-time mom.
Thank you for offering your course and empowering all of us mamas to be out there!
My husband and I do definitely credit your course with educating us about all of our options, what to expect, etc. and it helped create that positive experience for us both.
It was honestly the most incredible experience! I am so happy that I will forever be able to look back on that time fondly!
I hope every expecting mama/couple takes your course so they can love their labor as well!!

Module 2: How to Navigate Pregnancy Choices
Ever wondered what the difference is between a birth center and a hospital birth? This module teaches you everything you need to know about choosing the *right* providers and creating a team that's in your corner.
Module 3: Preparing For Your Birth
Here I start digging into the right birth mindset and helping you understand how much your thoughts affect your labor so that you can keep that cool, calm, and confident throughout the process.
Module 4: Understanding Labor & Delivery
Here I'll teach you how to tell if it's “time” or just a false labor cue. We'll go in-depth, showing you the anatomy and physiology – so you *really* understand what your body is capable of.
Module 5: During labor
Do you know your medical rights? Do you know how to create a birth plan? I'll ensure you have all the training you need to be the queen of the labor room.
Is it going to hurt? What is it going to feel like? I'll give you the honest-to-goodness truth so you can put your fears to rest.
I'll walk you through your options so you can make informed choices about medications.
Should you be induced? What are the risks of a c-section? What if you want to do this naturally?
Here's the thing – if you aren't sure about medical interventions *before* you go into labor – you will have them thrust upon you and have decisions made FOR you that you might regret…this is your chance to get informed before it's too late.

Yep, sometimes some complications crop up, no matter how well you prepare. But I'm here to teach you the warning signs so you can sound the alert the second you think something's wrong. + How to handle them if they do!

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 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.
What if I want a VBAC?
Choose the VBAC lab; this is not just a module slapped onto a birth course.
This all-inclusive VBAC-focused birth course is designed with the cesarean patient in mind. Not only do you get comprehensive education, but take part in our mama membership for 30 days of free personalized support through weekly group coaching.
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, the support as you embark on your postpartum journey is priceless. (see what makes us different FAQ above)
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.
