Why Our Training Matters

Maternal health in the United States is at a tipping point. Families face preventable trauma and poor outcomes while birthworkers are stretched thin.

Yet 80% of pregnancy-related deaths are preventable with the right care.

It starts with skilled, compassionate professionals ready to address these gaps.

Behind Every Statistic is a Family.

1 in 3 birthing families experience their birth as traumatic.

(Beck, Nursing Research, 2004; Dekel et al., Birth, 2019)
80% of all poor maternal health outcomes are preventable.

(CDC, 2017-2019)
Over one third of U.S. counties are maternity care deserts. In New Hampshire, 13 community hospitals and birth centers have closed.

(CDC, March of Dimes, Boston Globe 2024)
Maternal mental health is often overlooked

1 in 5 birthing people experience postpartum depression.
1 in 7 experience perinatal anxiety disorders.
Suicide is a leading cause of maternal death in the first year postpartum.
Most are not honest on mental health screenings due to fear of judgment or stigma.
These Are Real Lives. We Can Prevent This.

These numbers aren’t just statistics. They’re real families and real lives. Too many are experiencing preventable harm but it doesn’t have to be this way. With skilled, compassionate support, we can change these outcomes.

How Birth Wellness Coaches & Full Spectrum Doulas Change Outcomes

Birth Wellness Coaches are trained to walk beside families with skill, presence, and trauma-informed support.. They help prevent poor outcomes by:

Educating families about their bodies, the birth process, and their choices
Offering emotional support and somatic tools throughout pregnancy and birth
Guiding comfort measures to ease pain, tension, and fear
Being a calm, safe presence in every interaction
Supporting postpartum healing with care and respect
Connecting families to resources and referrals when extra support is needed

When families feel supported, respected, and informed, outcomes improve and trauma is less likely to take root.
