Surrendered Birth Course

Learning all of the ins-and-outs of pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum is imperative to aiding in the childbirth process. It can be scary when we don’t know what is going on with our bodies, or what to expect during the different stages and phases of labor. No matter what kind of birth you are planning (home, birth center, or hospital), this comprehensive childbirth class will prepare you for any scenario. Even if you’re planning a home birth, it is wise to educate yourself on hospital procedures in case of a possible transfer. If you’re planning a medicated hospital birth, it is also wise to know the process of a natural, physiological birth as you never know exactly how your birth will unfold. Maybe you don’t know what kind of birth you want yet!  This class will go over everything that you need to know in order to make the best decision for you and your child. 

My goal is to inform you of all of your choices, and of all of the risks and benefits that come along with those choices with evidence based research. How you think you want to give birth is up to you, but my objective is to ensure that you’re making those decisions from a place of full education, and then surrendering those plans to the Lord. 

While this is a Christian childbirth class, and focuses on how God designed birth, we still cover anything and everything you’d need to know going into childbirth and early parenthood.

Once you’ve completed the course, I will be available via email or a monthly open zoom call to answer any questions you might have leading up to or shortly after your birth!

KAYLA

My passion is teaching childbirth classes, but it’s not just that. My heart is to help open up the hearts and minds of expecting parents and assist them in learning what they didn’t know they didn’t know about birth, and anchoring them to Jesus in the process. How your birth unfolds can have such a tremendous impact on how your parenting journey will start and continue for years to come. I am honored to equip you in learning what you need to know to make the best plans possible for you and your baby, and then to help you to surrender those plans to God as He gives you the peace of living in His will.

A Peek Into What you’ll learn

  • Believe it or not, who we hire to care for us during our pregnancy and delivery can have a huge effect on how our labors and births unfold. We'll dive into the different types of care providers, what they offer and specialize in, and why you would want to hire one over another.

  • Labor prep isn't just physical. While taking care of our bodies is SO important, we also need to be continuously preparing our minds for labor, as well as keeping a constant line of communication open with God about it all.

  • While it's important to prepare for childbirth, it's arguably more important to prepare for postpartum. Everybody in your family will be experiencing postpartum in a different way and it's vital to have the tools and knowledge to help everybody succeed in this precious season.

Course FAQ

  • Yes! This is the exact same course that I teach in person, but in an on-demand, online format. You will watch videos of me teaching the exact same content, and you'll have PDF's that you can (and should) print out and put into a notebook to follow along, as well as other resources along the way.

  • Immediately! As soon as you purchase the course, there will be a button that pops up to start the course. You will also get an email giving you exclusive access to the entire course to go through at your own pace.

  • There are over 10 hours of teaching footage in this course, so plan wisely. There are five modules, and several lessons in each module varying in length. While you can go through it straight, I recommend breaking it up into a few lessons at a time so that you have time to process what you're learning.

  • I HIGHLY recommend spouses taking the course together. Even if you can't manage to get your schedules aligned, it would be wise for both of you to go through the class and then discuss it when you can. You want to be on the same page about everything before the birth of your baby.

  • Once purchased, you have lifetime access to this course, so if you need to freshen up if you have another baby in the future, you'll be able to. I will also make periodic updates to the course as I see fit.

  • With much experience and evidence, this course, being over 10 hours long, is MUCH more comprehensive and informative than most courses that currently exist, with the added bonus of weaving Jesus throughout the entire process. I've had 2nd, 3rd, and 4th time moms take this course and tell me how much more they learned and how much more prepared they felt in comparison to their previous births.

  • Yes! While I do recommend having the PDF's printed out and available to follow along with in your hands, you can watch the videos on any device.

  • Whether you just found out you're pregnant or you're due next week, it's never too early or too late to take your childbirth course, especially one that you can come back to over and over again. Preparing yourself for the most life changing event while you're here on this earth cannot be overstated. Start now!

What others have to say about this course…

  • “Kayla’s class is unmatched! The amount of detail and honesty in the information you won’t find in any OB’s office or hospital class. 10/10 recommend. My only regret is not finding her for my first birth - and I’m looking forward to having Kayla as my doula for my second!”

    -Ashley H.

  • “Kayla is absolutely amazing! Highly recommend to any parents that are expecting. We learned so much about what to expect before, during, and after birth and what recovery looks like. No matter where you decide to have your birth, know you have choices in the treatment of you and your baby. Thank you so much for the wealth of information Kayla! You opened my eyes and taught me more than I ever imagined I would learn about child birth.”

    -Chase H.

  • ”Kayla so beautifully intertwines the spiritual and biblical aspect of birth and the science of the situation as well! No matter what kind of birth you are planning or dreaming of, Kayla will prepare you for all possibilities. I was planning a home birth and ended up transferring to the hospital, I am so thankful that I took Kayla’s class and learned what birth would look like in both settings. She is encouraging and supportive, you can tell that she genuinely cares so much about each mom that she comes across. Go ahead and spend the money on her class, it’s worth it!”

    -Poem N.

  • “My husband and I took Kayla’s birth course for our second birth, and WOW was it incredible! After the first class my husband was locked in and ready for us to achieve an unmedicated birth - which we were successful in!! To anyone who wants a good, strong, biblical but medically knowledgeable perspective we cannot recommend Kayla’s class enough. Truly grateful for all she taught us & for God’s grace through it all!”

    -Kelsey H.

  • “Kayla’s birthing class was AMAZING and super educational! So much better than any class that you will take at a hospital. The materials were perfectly organized for us and everything was very clear and easy to understand. She went into thorough detail on every topic and I feel extremely prepared for my birth experience. Even though this is my third child, I still feel that I learned so much information that I didn’t know previously. I highly recommend Kayla’s class to anyone who wants to be extremely prepared and educated for childbirth!”

    -Allison O.

  • “The education she provided during her class was invaluable to us as first time parents. She did a great job of going over all the options you have during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum and explaining the risks and benefits of each.”

    -Alyssa S.

  • “Taking Kayla's birth class has worked wonders for me. I went into the class scared, anxious, nervous, really all the feelings. I ended the class feeling strong, empowered, confident, and ready for birth. I learned so much from this class; things I know a hospital class wouldn't have spoken of. I feel confident in being able to stand up for my needs/wants with my doctors and while having a hospital birth and for that I am forever thankful. I also think Kayla's class is really good bonding time for husbands because they get to see and hear all the ins and outs as well as learn techniques for a calm labor. I learned so much from this class and I will recommend it to everyone who is pregnant! No matter what kind of birth you plan on having, this class is wonderful for all births. Thank you Kayla for making me feel confident for labor and delivery. I am forever grateful!”

    -Jessica G.

  • “Kayla’s childbirth classes were so informative and in-depth. I was fortunate to have done a bit of my own childbirth research prior to her classes, so hearing her speak more about the info I had read and give her life experience was invaluable and validating. I feel that for someone with lesser knowledge it will be even more eye-opening. Her material was well-researched and backed by a plethora of her personal stories. The knowledge gained really helped us to feel equipped to make our own decisions and much more prepared for the arrival of our first child! Would 100% recommend her to others!”

    -Kristen H.

  • “Can’t say enough about Kayla’s childbirth course! Even after just one session, we had such better expectations and felt that much more equipped as partners to do this together. We felt comfortable enough to ask any questions we had and I personally felt SO empowered to let my body do what God created it to do. This wasn’t just for me as the one giving birth-Austin, my husband, was that much more prepared and was given tools on how to help and support me during the process. It got us even that much more excited to welcome our baby, Shiloh, into our lives! Kayla, thank you for making us feel so comfortable to talk through anything and giving us so much encouragement and practical help!!”
