Education & preparation is the key to feeling empowered and confident for birth and baby! Joyful Birthing offers a series of private, one-on-one classes for those families seeking preparation for birth, baby, and/or breastfeeding. All classes are taught virtually by Ellie Lindenmayer, founder of Joyful Birthing & Beyond, and include a professionally designed presentation, video demonstrations, and live-on-one-on interaction. Each class can be catered to your unique preferences, schedule, and situation.

Do you dream of birthing with a sense of calm, trust, and joy, instead of fear, tension and pain? The HypnoBirthing® Class Series will open your mind to these possibilities and so much more! This class will prepare you and your partner for all things childbirth, it will equip you with a variety of coping techniques, and it will teach you to approach your birth with confidence, a sense of calm, and empowerment.

Having a baby is a bit like climbing Mt. Everest. If you were to climb Mt. Everest, you’d likely hire a sherpa, someone who knows the land, can read the weather and knows the technical aspects of climbing very well. A doula is like a sherpa for you and your partner, someone who is trained and experienced and can help you navigate a safe, satisfying, and empowering birthing and postpartum experience. At Joyful Birthing, with compassion, respect, and without judgment, we support all of your choices. We bring our heart and soul to each and every birth and family and are 100% committed to providing the unique support, guidance, and encouragement that you, your partner, and baby need in order to have the most positive experience possible.

Sleep is essential to good health and well being but not always easy to come by during the early years with little ones. Many families get off an age-appropriate sleep schedule without even knowing it, inadvertently establish negative sleep associations and crutches, and find their entire family is not meeting their sleep needs. As a Center for Pediatric Sleep Management Certified Sleep Consultant, I am here to help you get back on track and maximize your family’s sleep.
