Birth Ready: A Prenatal Masterclass

A refreshingly real prenatal workshop for women + their birth partners

You wouldn’t wing a marathon. Or a wedding. Or your taxes (hopefully).

So why are so many women sent into one of life’s biggest events—birth—without actual prep?

There’s a major gap in our healthcare system when it comes to preparing people for labour. You get appointments, ultrasounds, and tests... but no one really sits down to say:

  • Here’s what contractions feel like

  • Here’s what to do when your water breaks

  • Here’s how to stay calm during intense moments

  • Here’s how your partner can *actually* help

Let’s change that.

Birth Ready

ENTER….

“I can confidently say that Sandra’s approach to care is nonjudgemental, warm, incredibly knowledgeable and most importantly, she makes me feel safe. The perinatal period (trying to conceive, pregnancy, post partum, etc) is such a vulnerable and unsure time for so many of us. Sandra brings a confidence to her work that is contagious. She helped me feel confident in my body and what I am capable of in my recovery and pregnancy journeys. She will truly listen to what you have to say and find ways to support your goals. She is one of the few health care professionals who genuinely cares and it is clear in every interaction you will have with her.”

“Sandra is phenomenal at preparing patients for pregnancy and labour. She was instantly able to make me feel comfortable and provided resources to further improve my wellbeing and assist in preventative measures. Whenever I hear someone is pregnant, I tell them to go see Sandra!”

What Others Are Saying:

I honestly can’t say enough about Sandra - she is the best! She helped me during pregnancy; not only did she provide such great care, but she also provided so much knowledge and education. She helped me to feel ready and empowered for labour/delivery. She has continued to help me in my postpartum recovery. I highly recommend Sandra and Makewell Health!
