Hi, I'm Deborah!
I have been and still am serving pregnant and postpartum women for over 20 years, both in the birthing room and hands on daily treatment.
As a Registered Massage Therapist, Certified Pregnancy & Pelvic Floor Therapist, and DONA Doula who’s attended over 1,000 births, and coached countless pregnant women like you through the birthing process, I know that the information that I have prepared for you in this course will help you feel confident and supported every step of the way.
I designed Deborah the Doula’s Labor & Birth Course so that you don't need to hire a doula if you absolutely cannot afford one. We have included a take-along packet so that it feels like taking a doula with you on your birth journey. That’s why it includes:
- Step-by-step modules to guide you through every aspect of labor and birth.
- Printable downloads and fill-in-the-blank forms to make planning easy.
- Take along packet - to help you remember on the big day.
- Hands-on, natural techniques for pain management, including perineal massage and aromatherapy.
Let’s transform your birth experience together.
INTRODUCING
Deborah the Doula’s Labor & Birth Course
Deborah the Doula’s Labor & Birth Course is an online program for pregnant women who want to feel confident, prepared, and supported during labor and birth.
Here's what you'll achieve:
Confidence
Learn essential information, practical skills, and most of all, a step-by-step plan to handle EVERY situation. I believe it's not as important to educate you on everything that COULD happen during birth & labor, but TEACH you how to handle ANY situation that arises with your values and desires in mind.
Whenever baby decides to make an appearance, you will be ready!
Support
Receive expert guidance and support from Deborah in a safe, judgment-free space. No question is too big or too small—if it’s on your mind, I've likely seen it before. We have course office hours available for your questions and concerns every week until you feel fully prepared & confident moving into your birth experience.
Yes, you heard that right, if you purchase the course, you get access to me as well!
Peace of Mind
With every question answered, and every scenario prepared for, you’ll replace uncertainty with empowerment, knowing you’re fully prepared to welcome your baby with peace of mind and heart.
Fear is always going to show up during pregnancy and birth, We are here to show you that fear is healthy, and that it doesn't have to drive, Let me help you move fear to the back seat and let confidence drive.
There’s nothing more reassuring than feeling prepared for one of life’s biggest moments.
Here's what you get:

Course Highlights
- Build Your Dream Birth Team: Many of us know who we want to bring into the birthing room to support us. What if I told you that the person you have chosen may not be the best person to support the birth you want. We want to help you build a team that is well-thought-out and fully educated on YOUR birth preferences.
- Deep Dive into Labor Stages: Learning about the stages of labor can help us feel more educated and empowered. What is also important is understanding what the stages can look like for the birthing momma and the birth team, then exactly what we should do and what to focus on during each of these stages.
- Empower Your Birth Partner: Setting your partner up for success will be a pretty important key to getting the birth you both desire. Let us equip your partner with tools like, when to take over advocating for you, how to communicate with you during the hard parts of labor, how to play an active role, and most importantly, how to handle any intervention as a team!
- Preparation for Every Scenario: From early labor routines to managing moments of crisis, we've got you covered.
Extra support options:

What my students say!
Deborah's course is exactly what I was hoping for. As a first time mom, finding ways to lessen my anxiety and prepare was SO important to me. The course is perfectly detailed, the videos are helpful, and Deborah's in-depth knowledge truly makes you feel supported and better equipped to deal with the unknown. Thank you SO much for creating this!!

I cannot recommend this birth course enough! I've come across many resources, but this course stands out. The depth of knowledge and expertise is unmatched. The videos were engaging and practical. I appreciated how the content was both evidence-based and real-world wisdom that only someone with this level of experience could provide. If you're looking for a course that combines expertise, compassion, and practical advice - this is it!
Jacklyn K.
I cannot say enough about this course. We had a traumatic first birth experience and my husband and I were both very nervous going into our second birth. This class taught us so much that I wish we had known when we had our first son. It equipped us with valuable information and gave me confidence to advocate for myself and our birth plan. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this course, whether this is your first or subsequent birth!

“Asking your husband to be your sole guide through labor is like asking him to lead the way on a climb of Mt Everest. He may be smart and trustworthy, you may love him, but in the Himalayas you’d both be a lot better off with a Sherpa!”
