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

Birth Navigator Experience™

Comprehensive prep for your birthing day

For those in their second or third trimester, this program offers everything you need to feel prepared, confident, and supported. You’ll receive:

  • 10 weeks of personalized support
  • Ongoing access to your consultant
  • On-demand Understanding Postpartum Health & Baby Care Class

Who It’s For

  • First-time parents who want more than just “information”

  • Busy professionals seeking flexible expert support
  • Parents seeking continuity of care without piecing services together

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.

Peace of Mind During Pregnancy & Birth | The Peace of Mind Method™

At Childbirth Concierge®, we believe preparing for childbirth and parenting is about more than just checklists or clinical milestones. It’s about feeling safe, respected, and deeply supported. That’s why everything we do is grounded in The Peace of Mind Method™—a model where trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches intersect to transform perinatal care. Most importantly, our focus is peace of mind during pregnancy and birth.

More than a philosophy, this method is the foundation of our entire practice. It guides how we educate, listen, and walk alongside families—through childbirth classes, doula care, lactation support, and postpartum planning. In addition, it represents the intersection of what modern families truly need: practical tools, emotional safety, and deep trust in their own instincts.

Why “Peace of Mind”?

In a maternity system where many families feel unseen, rushed, or overwhelmed, peace of mind is more than a luxury—it’s a necessity. It’s the emotional and cognitive space to make informed decisions, feel secure in your choices, and be fully present in your own experience.

That’s why our model goes beyond typical education or support. It combines two vital elements:

  • Evidence-Based Care — grounded in current best practices and clinical knowledge.
  • Trauma-Informed Principles — recognizing that everyone’s story is different. As a result, care must be respectful, individualized, and empowering.

Because of this, our method builds trust, clarity, and confidence—no matter your background, birth plan, or path to parenthood.

The Peace of Mind Method™, Defined

Each letter in PEACE OF MIND represents a core value we embody at every stage of care—from the first consult to postpartum follow-up.

Our approach is built to support you with peace of mind during pregnancy and birth, so you can make decisions with clarity and confidence.

P.E.A.C.E. – The Foundation of Support

P – Personalized Support
Every journey is different. We meet families where they are—with tailored care, not one-size-fits-all plans.

E – Educate to Empower
Knowledge reduces fear. We lead with education that’s relevant, respectful, and rooted in your goals. As a result, empowered families make confident decisions.

A – Access to Trusted Support
From Certified Childbirth Consultants™, doulas, and childbirth educators to IBCLCs, families receive reliable, compassionate care every step of the way—from planning to postpartum.

C – Continuity of Care
We bridge the gaps in traditional maternity systems. As a result, we offer ongoing, relationship-based support from pregnancy through postpartum.

E – Empowerment Through Connection
True peace of mind comes from feeling seen, heard, and never alone. You are supported by a team that walks beside you, not ahead of you.

O.F. – Ownership and Feeling Grounded

O – Owning Your Experience
You deserve to be at the center of your care—not just guided, but grounded. Peace of mind means having a say in what matters to you.

F – Following Your Instincts
While books and classes are helpful, no expert replaces the wisdom within. We help you tune out the noise so you can hear—and trust—yourself.

M.I.N.D. – Inner Clarity and Confident Decisions

M – Make Room for What You Feel
There’s no right way to feel on this journey. Birth and parenting stir up big emotions. For that reason, we encourage you to acknowledge them with compassion, not judgment.

I – Identify What You Need
Clarity starts from within. Whether it’s rest, reassurance, or real information, naming your needs is how you begin to meet them.

N – Nourish Your Inner Voice
Your instincts are valid. We help protect and strengthen that voice so it can guide your decisions with confidence.

D – Decide With Confidence
Whether you’re choosing a provider, setting boundaries, or even shaping your birth preferences, you can move forward with calm, informed intention.

The Foundation of Childbirth Concierge®

Whether you’re attending one of our childbirth education classes,, hiring a doula, joining a lactation consult, or connecting through virtual support, you’ll experience The Peace of Mind Method™ in action. It shapes our tone, the way we design materials, how we train our team, and how we walk beside every family we serve.

This is not a one-size-fits-all model. Instead, it’s relationship-centered care, rooted in both best practice and deep respect for your lived experience.

What Peace of Mind Means for You During Pregnancy and Birth

When you work with Childbirth Concierge®, you’re not just booking a class or service. You’re partnering with a team who sees you as the expert of your own story. In turn, we equip you with tools to navigate pregnancy, birth, and early parenting with both confidence and calm.

Because peace of mind isn’t a perk—it’s the foundation.

Should I go to a Childbirth Class?

Should I go to a Childbirth Class?

by | Feb 6, 2024 | Childbirth Education, Pregnancy

Childbirth Class

Often times I hear pregnant moms say “I don’t need to go to childbirth class I am going to use an epidural” and it is probably one of the biggest misconceptions about childbirth class that exist. Before the electronic era and wide spread use of pain medication for pain control, the common way expectant parents could learn about what was going to happen to them during birth was to attend a childbirth class. Over the years the childbirth education classes have seen a decline in attendance, yet a lot of people spend more time and resources researching how to remodel a bathroom or kitchen than learning about bringing a baby into the world.

Options

Today offers a lot more options. With YouTube and the internet, one doesn’t even need to leave their home or put down their hand held device to get advice and information on giving birth.  It is true that babies will come into this world without their parents taking a class on “childbirth”. After all, childbirth classes didn’t exist 100 plus years ago and babies still arrived. Fast forward to a very busy society.  Today 80% to 90% of laboring patients use epidural and c-section rates are the highest they have ever been across the United States.
Learning from a childbirth expert what you can do to increase your chances of a positive birth experience is worth your time and money. Most hospitals offer some type of class, but it is also very popular to see other classes offered in the community. For those with busy schedules, private classes are the perfect option and are not as expensive as you might think. Most classes whether group or private should cover basic items like when to go to the hospital or birth center, stages and phases of labor, basic terminology, comfort measures, partner tips, interventions. Some classes include newborn care and breastfeeding. The hot topics usually are pain medications.

Thoughts on Pain Management

In my 34 years of experience there are generally three types of thinking when approaching pain control;
1. I definitely want an epidural.
2. I will wait and see if I need one.
3. No thank you, I do not want one.
There is no right or wrong answer, only you can decide, but I also encourage you to stay open about options. For example if you are planning on an epidural learning about when the ideal time is  to get an epidural can help you to decrease your chances of a C-section. Most moms don’t realize that the number one way to decrease their chances of a C-section is to wait until active labor to come to the hospital. We call this the 511 rule – contractions at least 5 minutes apart, lasting 1 minute long, for at least 1 hour. Also using a peanut ball decreases chances of surgery as well.
If you are planning on not having an epidural, have you thought about what it takes? Do you have good labor support? Have you thought about hiring a doula? Key to laboring without an epidural is movement, use of hydro therapy, access to many comfort measures, and understanding all the ins and outs of labor. Do you understand when an epidural can be beneficial? Yes, even for those “natural” mamas, sometimes interventions can be helpful in unique situations. Being prepared and not afraid makes a world of difference.
Birth planning and birth itself is not 100% black and white.

Education Empowers

The more you are educated and understand the value in good communication with your nurses, midwives and doctors the more satisfied you will be even if the need arises for a C-section.
Your childbirth educator is the expert that you can ask all kinds of questions to and bounce things off that you have read or heard.
It’s is your birth, and education is key!
