As a Certified Postpartum Doula, I’ve supported hundreds of families through the postpartum period. I know firsthand how overwhelming those first weeks can be — and how much easier they are when you’re prepared.

This class is about YOU. So much focus goes to preparing for the baby that new parents often forget to prepare for their own recovery, emotional shifts, and the massive life transition that comes with parenthood.

We’ll cover everything from physical healing timelines and breastfeeding basics to meal prep, nursery organization, and recognizing the signs of postpartum mood disorders. You’ll leave with a clear plan, practical resources, and the confidence that you’re ready for what comes after birth.

What My Clients Say

Paulina

★★★★★

“My husband and I also ended up taking her in person childbirth class and highly recommend that as well! 10/10 all around. There was never a topic or issue I had that she wasn't able to assist with.”

Shoshanah Sarraf

★★★★★

“We took her classes privately. They were clear, organized, and provided us with confidence. Denise was able to answer all our questions and provide us with resources. We find ourselves referring back to the printed packets she gave us.”

Ashley Coakley

★★★★★

“Denise came to our home to do in birth classes, came to our home to put together our birth plan with us, came to our home before birth for baby care basics classes. Denise was everything and more in what I wanted and she made me feel confident and supported.”

Is this class in-person or virtual?

Both! You can choose in-person (at your home in the Los Angeles area) or virtual via Zoom.

When should I take this class?

Ideally in your third trimester so you can prepare before baby arrives. The meal planning and organizing tips are most useful when you have time to implement them before birth.

Is this class just about physical recovery?

Not at all! We cover physical recovery, emotional wellness, feeding preparation, meal planning, nursery organization, and building your support system. It’s about preparing YOU for the postpartum period — not just baby.

How much does the class cost?

This private postpartum healing class is $500. Payment plans are available — contact me to inquire.

Do you take insurance?

I do not take insurance directly. However, classes are eligible for reimbursement with an HSA/FSA/HRA account. A detailed superbill can be provided upon request.
