In our Prep For Post class created by Kate Littlefield (LCMHC) , a doula will guide you through making an extensive, four page, postpartum wellness plan including budget, risk factors, communication agreements and boundaries as well as how and when to ask for help when challenges arise. “designed based on years of experience in which parents in various stages of parenting said “nobody ever told me…” and realizing that there are definitely more things we could be telling parents before the arrival of a new baby - whether it’s the first baby or a new baby arriving to a home with seasoned parents.” It is designed to be inclusive of all kinds of parents and families - first time parents, seasoned parents, single-parents, multiple caregivers, children who arrive by birth as well as adoption. We have also strived to be inclusive of race, gender, sexual orientation. This course is in two parts, please make sure to sign up for the second session on Tuesday March 31st, 2026.

As part of this course you will be given a workbook and four check-in calls (once a quarter) to see how you're doing and if any changes need to be made to your plan or if you need any additional resources through out the first year of baby's life. This course is meant for you to bring a support person so each booking accounts for two people attending.
