High-risk does not have to mean high stress
Pregnancy and birth can be full of surprises, especially if your pregnancy is high-risk. At Birth Savvy, we specialize in providing childbirth education for all pregnancy scenarios, including high-risk. Birth Savvy was founded by labor and delivery nurses with over two decades of combined experience in high-risk obstetric care. Whether you have an underlying medical condition, experienced a traumatic birth, are expecting a baby with medical needs, are expecting multiples, or are experiencing a pregnancy complication, we are here to support and prepare you for a positive birth experience. We're not just educators; we're your partners, working with you every step of the way. From the first to the fourth trimester, Birth Savvy will help you feel confident and empowered on your road to parenthood, even when high-risk conditions arise.

“I highly recommend Birth Savvy for any parents-to-be who are seeking education, empowerment, and peace of mind. There are so many unknowns and what-ifs throughout pregnancy and birth, and Anna helped us feel prepared and confident throughout the whole journey. She talked us through all possible scenarios and helped us through some tricky decision-making. We appreciated that she was able to give us far more attention, patience, and candid advice than our medical team could on most topics. Her expertise and passion as an experienced labor and delivery nurse, paired with her caring and empathetic client approach make her an amazing advisor in this field. We can't recommend Birth Savvy’s services enough! ”

“The birth of my daughter was the most thrilling day, thanks to the support and guidance of Ashley. From the moment she introduced herself with genuine warmth and kindness, I knew I was in good hands and instantly put me at ease. Throughout the entire process, Ashley offered emotional support and encouragement to both me and my family. She patiently taught me various breathing techniques to help cope with the intensity of contractions, helped with pain management, and ensured that I felt empowered and prepared every step of the way. Her presence and knowledge made me feel safe and supported, turning what could have been a challenging experience into a joyous and unforgettable journey into motherhood.”
