Hi! We’re Hollie Hauptly and Cheryl Amelang, birth professionals and your online instructors. With a combined 20+ years of teaching experience preparing hundreds of couples for birth, we know first hand how nervous you must feel about your upcoming birth. You might have heard horror stories from your friends or family about their birth, but know that we believe that your birth can be different!
After both experiencing life-changing births of our own, we can’t help but want to share what we’ve learned with others.
We’re excited to have you join us on this journey as you prepare for your birth.

Have you taken our quiz? We recommend starting there, but here are a few other things to consider.
If you are a first time parent, considering a natural birth, planning a VBAC, or just want the most information, we recommend our Comprehensive class. If you’re also wanting information about newborn care, breastfeeding, and your postpartum recovery, you’ll want to take the Comprehensive class.
A majority of our students start their class sometime during the 2nd trimester, but we have some people that start earlier and some later.
In an ideal situation, you’d begin your class with enough time to watch one class each week, practice what you learn, do the homework, have discussions together, talk to your care provider, write your birth plan, etc.
If you’re starting a little later, no problem. You’ll just be learning it all in a shorter amount of time.
You will have 12 months of unlimited access to the class(es) you are registered for.
Your online class includes hours of video content filled with tons of information and tips, demonstration and practice videos, and relaxation recordings.
Each course has an online e-book with the option to upgrade to a physical workbook if you’d like.
Treating your online classes as you would a live class is the best bit of advice. Pick a class night, put it in your calendar, then do the homework (relaxation, Chow Charts, exercises, discussions with each other and/or care provider, etc.) during the week. Don’t try to cram the classes all at once, even if you are getting a late start. Space them out by at least a few days and work on the weekly assignments even if it’s not for an entire week. Be accountable to each other. Other useful tips can be found once you log on after registration.
Your online instructors, Hollie Hauptly and Cheryl Amelang, would love to help if you have any questions at all while you complete your online class.
