Village Birth

Village Birth Village Birth offers education, community, and support for all new and expecting parents. We are honored to be a part of your journey into parenthood!

Village Birth designed our childbirth classes to give you the information, skills, and confidence you need to have an empowering birth experience. No matter where (hospital, home, or birth center) or how (unmedicated, medicated, or Cesarean), we prepare you for your baby’s birthday and life with a newborn. Our goals are to help you understand the birth process, iron out your birth preferences and

coping techniques, and learn when to let them go. We will help you develop confidence in yourself, your partner, and your care providers, so you feel prepared to welcome your baby. We also offer a variety of other classes to help you prepare for birth and life with a newborn including but not limited to: infant feeding, newborn care, CPR, infant massage, cloth diapering, baby sign language, and more. Village Birth understands the incredible importance of community during the transition to parenthood and the swirl of life with young children. We provide a variety of circles, groups, and events geared towards supporting you during this amazing and intense time. Some of our groups include Village Prenatals, our Fourth Trimester Support Circle, Babywearing Dance Party, Loss and Fertility Groups, and much more. Our registry of thoroughly vetted birth and postpartum doulas bring their hands and hearts to all new and growing families – holding space for your family’s unique experience and offering support, information, and comfort as you navigate the transition into parenthood. Come mix and mingle with some of our amazing doulas at our Meet the Doula Night event, or sign up for our registry online - both free services!

My dear sister-friends are doing these beautiful circles in Woodland Hills these upcoming weekends. One is a red tent ceremony for menstruating women 18 years and older, as well as mothers, and those interested in beginning a moon cycle practice.
❤️ The second one is a hormone and vitality workshop.

We couldn’t teach childbirth class without our model pelvis and baby Kim! She’s an icon, she’s a legend, and she is the moment.

Happy New Year! We hope you’re resting, celebrating, and relishing this time. The holiday might not have looked or felt as it usually does. If ringing in the new year was impacted by early little bedtimes, nighttime feedings, pregnancy, loss, or any big life shifts, we see you. Cheers to change and silver linings.

We know that in an age of ai and social media and in this season life, we need a human resource (literally). Find a friend, a smile, validation, nuggets of wisdom, or just a reason to leave the house.
