Testimonials

"Denise is so knowledgeable on child birth and completely calmed my nerves and anxiety before the birth of my baby. Perfect for busy expecting moms who want a crash course on child birth. Highly recommend."

"We loved Denise! We did a 2 day childbirth education class. She came to our house and taught us everything from comfort measures to labor positions to breastfeeding basics. I was definitely scared of the delivery process before the class but now I feel super excited. My husband is also very excited to advocate for me and feels more prepared in supporting me through labor. Thank you Denise!"

"Denise is absolutely wonderful! Denise is so knowledgeable and just all around awesome. She presented in an engaging way without being too much like a seminar. And she gave us lots of useful handouts too plus access to lots of amazing resources. Hire her! You won't regret it!"

"Deciding to reach out to Denise was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy. The 1 on 1 sessions made all the difference! It provided us a pressure-free space to ask personal questions and allowed for my husband to learn alongside me. Denise provided us with all the information and created a judgement free space for us to make our own decisions with childbirth. "

Meet Your Instructor

Hi! I’m Denise Curtis. I’m a CAPPA Certified Labor & Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator, and HypnoBirthing® Certified Educator in the Los Angeles area. I’ve helped thousands of families just like yours learn what to expect and how to face birth with confidence and readiness.

I’ve heard it all so many times:

“I want an unmedicated birth but have no clue how to achieve that.”

“I likely want an epidural, but need to know more about it.”

“I don’t know what my rights are and I don’t want the providers doing things that I may not need or be okay with.”

The birth space is sacred and you should have full control over what that space looks and feels like at all times. The way to have that control is to understand exactly what’s going on in labor and be able to make fully informed decisions along the way.

Let’s get together and get you fully prepared for anything that may come your way during birth.
