Ditch the Overwhelm: Real Support Starts with the Childbirth Navigator Experience™

Ditch the Overwhelm: Real Support Starts with the Childbirth Navigator Experience™

Ditch the Overwhelm: Real Support Starts with the Childbirth Navigator Experience™

At Childbirth Concierge®, we understand that preparing for a baby can feel like a full-time job. Between navigating new information, weighing options, and managing the unexpected, the decisions can pile up fast. That’s why we created the Childbirth Navigator Experience™ — a complete, personalized path to reduce decision fatigue and bring peace of mind to your journey from pregnancy through postpartum.

Built for Modern Parents

Today’s families are navigating more than just pregnancy—they’re managing careers, conflicting advice, time constraints, and the emotional weight of getting it “right.” It’s a lot to hold alone. That’s why the Childbirth Navigator Experience™ offers something that a typical class or single provider can’t: consistency, clarity, and compassionate guidance, all led by a Certified Childbirth Consultant™ who walks with you every step of the way.

What is a Certified Childbirth Consultant™?

A Certified Childbirth Consultant™ is a trained perinatal professional who holds comprehensive certification as a childbirth educator, birth doula, postpartum doula, and lactation educator. More than a single-role provider, they offer expert, integrated support throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period. Their role is to guide families with evidence-based education, emotional reassurance, and hands-on planning—so every decision is made with confidence and peace of mind.

More Than a Class. More Than a Doula. Your Personal Expert.

A traditional childbirth class provides key information, but once it ends, so does the support. A doula offers hands-on, in-person care for birth or postpartum, but not all doulas provide structured education or long-term planning. The Navigator Experience™ fills the gap—not by replacing doulas or classes, but by offering a wraparound model that adapts to your needs.

We honor the role of doulas and educators (many of our consultants are both), and we understand that some families prefer a more private delivery or minimal in-home support. That’s why the Navigator Experience™ offers options for in-person and telehealth care, with or without doula services.

What’s Included in Every Experience:

  • Private consultations to plan, problem-solve, and prepare
  • Ongoing access to your Certified Childbirth Consultant™ via text or email
  • Live Peace of Mind Sessions
  • On-demand, accessible education
  • Evidence-based tools for labor comfort, partner support, and newborn care

Peace of Mind in Pregnancy: A Reflection Guide for Expectant Parents

Peace of Mind in Pregnancy: A Reflection Guide for Expectant Parents

Pregnancy can bring a whirlwind of emotions, plans, and pressure. With so much information to navigate, it’s easy to feel like you’re losing touch with what really matters to you. That’s why taking a few moments to pause and reflect can be powerful.

At its core, peace of mind during pregnancy is about feeling grounded, informed, and supported — in ways that align with your unique values and needs. Below are a few simple but meaningful questions designed to help you reconnect with yourself and identify the support that will truly serve you best.

What does “peace of mind” look like to you right now?

Is it feeling informed and prepared? Having consistent support? Being able to slow down? Take a moment to define it in your own words.

What’s weighing on your mind the most?
From decisions about birth to outside life stressors, naming your top 1–2 concerns can help you begin to release them — or ask for the help you need.

What kind of support feels most helpful right now?
☑ Emotional reassurance
☑ Clear information
☑ Practical tools/resources
☑ Hands-on help
☑ Space to ask questions
☑ Other: ____________

How do you best receive new information or instructions?

☑ Email
☑ Phone
☑ In person
☑ Other: ____________

Are there any cultural values, personal preferences, or past experiences you’d like someone supporting you to know?
You deserve care that respects your full story. Anything you’d like to share can help create a more thoughtful experience.

What helps you feel most confident and cared for when working with a professional or service provider?
This could be tone, style of communication, consistency, listening, or other factors.

What typically causes you stress or overwhelm?
Identifying your stress triggers allows you (and others supporting you) to navigate them more gently.

What helps you regulate or come back to calm?
Knowing your own go-to strategies can empower your experience. For example Knowing what you can control

Is there anything else you’d like to share about how you’d like to be supported on this journey?
Whether it’s a specific fear, hope, or simple request — it matters.

This is your journey. Reflecting on these questions isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about staying connected to yourself in a season full of change.

Wherever you are in the process, we hope this gives you space to breathe, think, and feel more grounded in what matters most.

This reflection guide is inspired by the values behind The Peace of Mind Method™ — a supportive care model grounded in evidence, empathy, and empowerment.

Big News Brevard County: Childbirth Classes Now in Palm Bay, FL.

When a Shared Vision Becomes a Powerful Partnership

Sometimes, the most meaningful collaborations start with a heartfelt conversation—like the one that sparked the launch of childbirth classes in Palm Bay.

When Dr. Beth and Terra from The Healthy Family Chiropractic and Massage met with Kathy Bradley, IBCLC, founder and Teresa McIntyre, Operations Manager for Childbirth Concierge®, they discovered a shared passion. Both teams were committed to expanding access to trusted perinatal education and support throughout Brevard and Indian River counties.

As they talked, a clear need came into focus—families needed more hands-on guidance and confidence-building support right in their own communities. That initial conversation led to something bigger: a deeply aligned partnership rooted in clarity, compassion, and the shared belief that families deserve more.


A Warm Welcome to Our Newest Location

Beginning July 10, 2025, The Healthy Family Chiropractic and Massage will host our Platinum Series Childbirth Education Classes. These evening sessions will take place Thursdays on the 4th floor of their Palm Bay office at:

5200 Babcock St NE, Suite 400A
Palm Bay, FL 32905

The Healthy Family is a community-centered practice that inspires wellness and empowers families. Because of our shared values, this collaboration felt like a natural fit from the very beginning.

Now, we’re proud to bring trusted childbirth education even closer to families in Palm Bay, Melbourne, Viera, and throughout Brevard County.


What Families Can Expect

We keep class sizes intentionally small to offer a cozy, interactive space where families feel heard and supported. Each couple receives access to our Peace of Mind Dashboard—a curated online hub filled with trusted tools and planning guides.

Navigating Pregnancy Worry: Focus on What You Can Control

Navigating Pregnancy Worry: Focus on What You Can Control

Why Pregnancy Can Feel Emotionally Overwhelming
Navigating pregnancy worry is a common part of the journey—even in the midst of joy and excitement. Pregnancy can be filled with hope and anticipation, but also a thousand questions. From prenatal testing to planning your birth, it’s easy to feel like there’s so much riding on every choice. That mental weight? It’s real. But it doesn’t have to take over.
Understanding What You Can Control
You can’t control when labor will start.
You can’t control every symptom or outcome.
But you can control:
  • How you prepare

  • Who supports you

  • What information you take in

  • How you speak to yourself

Shifting Your Mental Load with Intention
When your thoughts spiral into “what ifs,” pause and ask:
🔹 What is actually in my hands today?
Even one clear, doable action—like reviewing your birth class notes or texting your doula—can ground you and help  when navigating pregnancy worry.

Simple Tools to Protect Your Peace During Pregnancy
  • Breathe intentionally (even for 30 seconds)

  • Focus on facts, not fears

  • Use a journal or notes app to clear mental clutter

  • Prioritize rest and nourishment

  • Talk with someone you trust—don’t carry it all alone

  • Consider taking a class like Calm Birth
Support That Keeps You Steady
At Childbirth Concierge®, our mission is peace of mind. We know the mental weight pregnancy brings—and we’re here to help lighten it. Whether you’re facing big decisions or everyday anxiety, our certified team offers expert support that helps you feel prepared, informed, and never alone.
