Voyage Prenatal Education
Group classes + private sessions, face-to-face or online.
Evidence-based information, knowledgeable educators who have been there.
However you’re planning to build your family, we can help you prepare for the transition —
head, heart, and body, without judgment or bias.
Birth & Postpartum Preparation
Our classes cover all the bases: what to expect in your labour and birth, medications + interventions, comfort measures + support, infant feeding, and postpartum adjustment and recovery. More than that, though, we help you build critical decision-making skills and prepare for the many unknowns you are soon to be facing. Build community in small classes intended to help you find your parenting village. We honour the monumental transition about to take place in your life, and want to support you with tools and skills to help you along your journey.

“We weren't sure if we wanted to do a prenatal class, however we are SOO HAPPY we decided to take one with Voyage Birth. Both Suzi and Katie are so lovely, kind and knowledgeable. The class was enjoyable and they presented a lot of information in a way that was fun and easy for us to remember! Cannot recommend this class enough!”
— Jacqueline
“She made us feel safe, answered any questions we had, and instructed in a very clear and authentic manner. Childbirth seemed weird and scary beforehand, but Katie just made it out to be magical and wonderful. And it was! After our class, I felt excited to give birth and I don't think it's a coincidence that I ended up completely loving my childbirth experience.”
— Jill
“The education and knowledge Katie provided us with totally made me feel so much more calm and at ease. Of course I was nervous, I hadn’t grown up with a lot of exposure to birth, so my fears were rooted in the unknown! I’m so grateful for being able to learn about the tools we needed to bring our beautiful and healthy baby girl into the world!”
— Leilanika
“It was so helpful to have Katie walk us through what to expect during labor and delivery. She tailored the content to our needs and questions. We both felt prepared and at ease as we learned from her. She is knowledgeable, professional and so great to work with. We gained not only the necessary information, but also a great sense of peace, confidence and even excitement for this special event in our lives.”
