You're busy. You need to fill a gap.

This bundle is intended to be used for education on interventions, inductions, and cesareans. It's best if you're looking for specific or additional information or missed a class on this topic. This bundle is *not* a comprehensive childbirth course. If you're looking for that, check out "The Birth Options" Course under Products.

This is often the part of childbirth ed that people skip

"I won't need an induction." "I'm not going to have interventions." "I'm not having a cesarean." The reality is, we don't know how your birth is going to unfold.  So let's name it to tame it. Demystify the parts of birth that maybe make you nervous. We'll go over these interventions in a way that makes you feel empowered and educated, not overwhelmed.

Hi, I’m Lisa! 👋 I’m a certified birth doula, childbirth educator, and the founder of Steady Birth. With an M.A. in Education and a passion for evidence-based care, I built this course to fill the gaps so often left by standard childbirth ed. It’s the exact resource I wish all my doula clients had, completely free of an agenda and with options clearly (and not overwhelmingly!) laid out. I'm dedicated to helping parents and partners understand their options, gain confidence in their decisions, and navigate their unique journey feeling prepared and empowered.

What people are saying

Testimonials

”
The course is incredibly empowering, approachable, and thoughtfully done balancing evidence-based education with personal insight, practical tips, and real-life experience in a way that never feels overwhelming or fear-based. It gave me a much better understanding of my options during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, while also helping me feel more confident advocating for myself and holding boundaries. I would absolutely recommend Steady Birth to anyone looking for childbirth education that feels informed, grounded, supportive, and genuinely encouraging.

Lisa is an incredible childbirth educator. We liked it so much that we reached out again for our second. We were honored to be one of the first to enroll in her self guided lessons. Her videos are very informative, clear, and run at a great pace. We watched a few videos at a time and it was very convenient. We highly recommend Lisa!
