I'm Janice and I will be teaching your classes. I have been in the childbirth education field for over 13 years and I love what I do. I am a Certified childbirth and lactation educator, birth and postpartum doula, baby massage instructor and pre/postnatal fitness instructor. I received my childbirth education training through Humber College and Women's College Health Sciences Centre Childbirth Educator's Multi-discipline Program that took 3 years to complete and graduated with Honors. This comprehensive program was the only Childbirth Educator's program in Canada approved by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. I have a lot of experience teaching in a hospital setting and independently. I also have a wealth of experience providing support during labour, birth and in the postpartum period.
Lucy, founder of Orange Dot, is a mother of four children (Benjamin 10 yrs., Liam 7 yrs., Hudson 5 yrs, and RamiAnne 3 yrs.) who knows the importance of having a positive and rewarding pre and postnatal experience.
Nesting Place and one of our birth doulas and prenatal instructors. I think childbirth is a transformative life event that can influence how you feel about yourself for years after your delivery. I want parents to feel more confident, less scared, more connected and less isolated in birth and their immediate postpartum. Nesting Place to offer parents prenatal classes and doula care that authentically supports their own birth preferences.
