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

by | May 29, 2025 | Uncategorized

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.

The Journey of a Birth Doula in Orlando: Empowering Families Through Every Step

The Journey of a Birth Doula in Orlando: Empowering Families Through Every Step

The Journey of a Birth Doula in Orlando: Empowering Families Through Every Step

Orlando is famous for its theme parks and sunny weather, but beneath the surface lies a vibrant community of families, each with their own unique journey into parenthood. As a birth doula in Orlando, I have the privilege of walking alongside these families during one of the most transformative and intimate moments of their lives: childbirth. It’s a role that involves not only emotional and physical support but also empowering families with the confidence and knowledge they need to navigate labor and delivery with grace and strength.

What It Means to Be a Doula in Orlando

The role of a birth doula is more than just providing support during labor—it’s about being an anchor for families through every stage of pregnancy and birth. From the moment a family contacts me, my goal is to create a space where they feel safe, heard, and empowered. In Orlando, a city filled with diversity, I encounter families from all walks of life. Some are first-time parents nervous about what’s to come, while others are experienced parents seeking a different type of support for their subsequent births.

Orlando is a melting pot of cultures, and with that comes a variety of traditions and beliefs surrounding birth. I’m honored to adapt my approach to meet each family’s needs, whether it’s offering bilingual support, understanding cultural preferences for the birth process, or working with non-traditional family structures. Being flexible and attuned to the unique needs of Orlando’s community is key to ensuring that every family feels valued and respected.

In-Person, Private, and Virtual: Flexibility is Key

One of the things I love most about working in Orlando is the diversity of options I can offer families. I provide in-person support during labor and facilitate childbirth classes in the heart of downtown, but I also offer private and virtual sessions. Some families prefer the intimacy of in-home classes, where we can dive deeper into personal concerns or practice hands-on techniques like comfort measures and breathing exercises. Others find that virtual classes allow them the flexibility to learn at their own pace from the comfort of home.

No matter the format, the focus is always the same: ensuring parents feel confident, informed, and prepared for the birth they envision. Whether it’s their first or fifth baby, every family deserves individualized attention and care.

Supporting Families During Labor: The Heart of Doula Work

The labor room is where everything comes together—the education, preparation, and emotional work that families have invested during their pregnancy. As a birth doula, I’m there to offer continuous support, both physical and emotional. From providing comforting words during contractions to suggesting positions that may help the labor progress, my goal is to ensure that families feel supported in whatever way they need most.

Orlando has a range of birth environments, from large hospitals to cozy birth centers, and even home births. Each birth setting brings its own energy and dynamic, and I adjust my approach accordingly. In the bustling environment of a hospital, I may focus on creating a calm, focused space, offering counter-pressure or massage, and helping parents communicate with their medical team. In a birth center or home birth, my role might center around providing quiet encouragement and hands-on physical support, while also allowing the space for the family’s personal preferences to unfold.

Navigating the Emotional Journey

Birth is not just a physical experience—it’s deeply emotional. My role as a doula is to help families embrace the full range of emotions that arise during labor. For some, it’s excitement and joy, while for others, there may be moments of fear, doubt, or overwhelm. I remind parents that these emotions are all part of the process, and I am there to guide them through, offering reassurance and calm.

I often tell families that birth is like a marathon. It requires endurance, mental strength, and a good support team. As their doula, I’m part of that team, cheering them on through every contraction, every moment of doubt, and every surge of strength. Witnessing the joy and relief when a new life finally arrives is the most rewarding part of my work. It’s the culmination of hours of effort, both from the birthing person and their support team, and I feel privileged to be a part of it.

A Special Place in My Heart for Orlando Families

I was born in Orlando, Wand working as a birth doula in Orlando gives me the opportunity to serve a wide variety of families, each with their own beautiful story. Whether it’s welcoming a baby at one of our local hospitals or supporting a home birth surrounded by loved ones, every birth leaves a lasting impact on me. There’s nothing quite like witnessing a family come together in the shared joy of bringing new life into the world.

Being a birth doula is a calling—one that I’m honored to answer every day in this vibrant city. The relationships I build with families often extend far beyond the delivery room. Watching these babies grow and seeing the families thrive post-birth fills my heart with joy. In a city known for its magic, there’s nothing more magical than the moment a new life enters the world.

If you’re expecting in Orlando and looking for support on your journey, know that you don’t have to go through it alone. Whether you’re seeking a calm, peaceful birth or preparing for a more intense experience, I’m here to help you feel confident, empowered, and ready to welcome your little one into the world.  Also consider becoming a doula as our profession is also growing.

The father’s comical response to his partner giving birth has become an internet sensation

by | Aug 4, 2023 | Birth, Uncategorized

Childbirth takes women on an unparalleled emotional roller coaster, fluctuating between bliss and horror, with agony that is beyond comparison.

For fathers, this occasion can be both fulfilling and emotionally challenging.

Recently, a couple captured the incredible moments of their third child’s birth on camera, and the photographs quickly became viral, touching the hearts of many. The new father’s facial expressions mirrored the emotional highs and lows of welcoming a newborn into the world.

It’s truly amazing to witness how much things have changed. In the past, fathers were not allowed to be present inside the delivery room with their pregnant wives; they had to wait outside with skilled midwives for updates.

But now, fathers are expected to actively participate and provide support throughout the delivery process, breaking away from traditional norms.

Over time, fathers’ roles during childbirth have evolved, and they are now encouraged to do anything to comfort and support their wives during labor, even offering a strong hand to hold onto.

 

Brett Sillis and Amanda Renee’, parents based in Arkansas, shared heartwarming photographs of their baby’s birth on social media, turning their journey to parenthood into an internet sensation.

Brett’s emotions were beautifully captured as he witnessed his son’s birth, resonating with people worldwide.

Despite the gravity of the situation, Amanda found Brett’s momentary expression of disgust amusing rather than disrespectful.

Caught up in the moment, they didn’t notice the photos until they returned to their room. However, upon seeing the pictures, Amanda felt compelled to share them with the world, and the response was overwhelmingly positive.

Both parents are doing well after the successful birth, and it’s evident from the photographs that Brett was incredibly thrilled and relieved.

Spending time in the hospital during childbirth can feel like an eternity, and Amanda expressed her joy at finally returning home with their newborn baby, a feeling many parents can relate to.

Brett’s emotional reactions resonated with people worldwide, resulting in over 6,000 shares, 7,000 likes, and 2,000 comments, making their story go viral.

Many others shared similar tales, and new fathers acknowledged feeling like Brett did during the childbirth experience. Some mothers also shared touching and amusing stories about their delivery experiences with their partners.

The comments were filled with encouragement and camaraderie.

The journey of childbirth is a unique and evolving event for both mothers and fathers. The growing involvement and support of fathers during birth represent a significant societal change.

The emotional bond and shared experiences during this pivotal moment create memories that last a lifetime. Brett and Amanda’s story has touched the hearts of countless people, spreading joy and laughter worldwide.

Let us celebrate the wonder of childbirth and the bonds it creates within families. Share this heartwarming tale with your friends and family to spread the love!
