A Birth Coach

In most settings, healthcare workers will not be available to stay at your bedside throughout labour. Unfortunately, nurses have multiple patients, endless documentation and tasks to complete. It is impossible for them to stay 100% focused on you at all times. That’s where we come in!

We stay with you every step of the way, helping you navigate all aspects of your labour. By choosing birth coaching by The MTL Birth Co., you are hiring an expert you trust and who has your wishes and wellbeing at heart!

Why Everyone Can Benefit From Our Services

How It Works

During your pregnancy, we spend time together via prenatal sessions aimed at getting to know you/your partner/your goals/your fears/your specific pregnancy. It is also during these sessions that we teach you “all the things” pregnancy, birth, and postpartum-related.
