Course Curriculum
Hi, I’m Dr. Alyssa Shepherd
After listening to the questions my pregnant patients would ask me leading up to labour and birth, knowing the questions that I had while I was pregnant, as well as hearing the many stories of birth of patients, friends and family - including how prepared their partner was to support them in birth - I decided to craft my own prenatal course to help create labours that both Mom & Baby & the Family can love. This short, scientific, information-packed, holistic course is the result.
What People are Saying:
Susan:
After my husband and I went through Dr. Alyssa's course, we both felt more comfortable and confident heading into labour. AND he was able to actually support me in labour! Thank you Dr. Alyssa!!!
Jenn:
The information that Dr. Alyssa shares about birth was so helpful in helping me have a birth experience that I am proud of and feel good about.
It's time to get informed.
It's time to get inspired.
