"The Empowered Birth Prenatal Course was legitimately a life saver! 
...
Not only eased my mind, it was SO much more than I could have ever expected! It is modern and up to date, so realistic but does not scare you like I have heard other prenatal classes can do sometimes. Nothing was biased, the information is just simply given so you feel you have choices for YOUR birth...."

Frequently asked questions

You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.

What is the difference between the online only, in person 5 week class, and the one day class?

In the Empowered Birth Online class you will have all of the videos, handouts and access to the exclusive EB Parents Facebooks Group for community! There is no 1:1 support or personalized information in this class as it is completely self-paced and online. A really great option for anyone who doesn't live near one of the classes or wants to just get the info they need!

Our 1 Day In-person/Online Hybrid class is for anyone who can't make it to the 5 week class but still wants to have some personalization. In the in-person portion we cover all of the labour prep, moves, and pushing info you need to feel confident when you start having contractions! You'll be practiced and know what you need to do to prep your own body before labour! In the online portion you will have access to everything mentioned above.

The In-Person 5 Week class is the most extensive class that we offer! You get everything listed above plus 5 weeks of 2 hours classes to really deep dive into the skills, communication tools, and support you need! This class is tailored each group to suit your needs - all of your questions answered, all of the mental and physical prep you need to be able to have your Empowered Birth!! Plus, we have so much fun together!

Will I be able to ask you questions?

This course is designed to be exclusively delivered online at your own pace, however, if you ever need anything I am an email away!

If you have questions about your personal health circumstances, specific diagnoses, and medical information may be redirected to your primary health care provider or you can book a 1:1 appointment with Lara to help you navigate your personal circumstances. 

You also have access to the Private Beyond The Bump Parent Support Group on Facebook where I moderate and answer questions alongside some super-experienced parents! 

Will you cover all of the info from other local birth education classes?

Yes, absolutely! This is a complete childbirth course with the information you really need to know that is regularly not covered in your hospital prenatal classes. 

I have made sure to go above and beyond anything I have ever found - this is the course I wish I had even after working in Labour & Delivery!

This course is relevant to all Canadian parents!

I know I want an epidural (or C-Section). Will I still benefit from this course?

Definitely! You need this course just as much as a someone choosing an unmedicated birth. You need to know your options even with medication (there are a ton) and typically you will still feel some contractions before you can receive your epidural. This course will benefit you greatly! 

Also, that baby still has to move down to come out - I can show you how to do this even while you're napping with an epidural.

When is the best time to take this class?

It's never too early to prepare! The information provided in this course will set you up for success through your pregnancy by giving you things you can do to prepare yourself now.

Also, if you are just finding this at 38 weeks, that's ok! You are able to binge watch all of the videos at your own pace. The best part? You will have access to all of this for 6 months. So, pregnant or postpartum you have a place to turn to for reliable answers and support.

Will my partner benefit from this course?

Absolutely! I highly recommend your partner join in alongside you when going through the course. They’ll be there when you are going through labour, so it helps if they also remember and repeat a lot of the training in those moments! There is so much information devoted to helping partners understand their support role in labour and postpartum.

This is my second baby. Can I still gain knowledge from taking this course?

YES! Maybe you want your second birth to go differently than your first? You need preparation for that. This course will help you become well informed to make the best decisions that are right for you. This course will review your birth options - preparation and support are key factors in how your birth experience will go the second time around!

What is your refund policy?

I am pretty certain you will love it. In fact, this course is tailored around what parents told me they wanted and what they wish they knew.

If you have done all you can as a participant and been actively engaged but still find you have questions, let me know and I will make sure they are answered. I am here to help!

There will be no refunds issued for this course once you register as you have immediate access to all course materials.
