Dear Parents,

Hello, expectant parents! I’m Charlotte Brielle- a full-spectrum doula, perinatal social worker, and the Executive Director of Wombs of the World. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of supporting birth and postpartum journeys around the world, and Preparing for Parenthood is the culmination of those experiences and insights. This course is my heart’s work. My vision is for you to feel not only prepared but genuinely excited to give birth. I want you and your partner to feel confident, flexible, and empowered, no matter what comes your way. Birth is unpredictable, and that’s why we’ll cover both the practical, the magical, and the deeply personal- so you can embrace this journey, grounded and informed. I believe birth is more than a physiological event. It’s a rite of passage, a powerful, transformative experience for both the birthing person and partner. Blending evidence-based practices with personal insights (and a bit of my woo-woo), this course treats birth as both a practical and sacred journey. Whether you’re planning your birth, prepping for postpartum, or deepening your connection to your baby, this course has you covered. From mental preparations to hands-on techniques, each lesson is designed to be digestible, and leave you inspired, informed, and empowered. Together, we’ll celebrate birth as the beautiful, messy, miraculous event it is. Step by step, I’ll guide you with knowledge, compassion, and a touch of humor, so you feel fully supported and ready to welcome your little alien—I mean, baby!

What Other Parents Are Saying

"I am so glad I found this course! I could hear Charlotte's voice when I was deep in "labor land" as she says. It was like having a doula there with me."
"We felt so much more prepared as a team going into birth and postpartum. My partner loved the sections that were just for him and I fell even more in love with him as he advocated for me! Thank you Wombs of the World!"
"I was so scared to give birth. I have had a lot of trauma and honestly I thought I just wanted to schedule a c-section and not have to deal with any of it. But Charlotte's course did such an amazing job of getting me excited to connect with the power of my own body and use birth as a method of healing. Her words are so powerful and I ended up with a beautiful and empowered birth!"
"Our first birth didn't go according to plan. So for this second one I wanted to feel more prepared. Thanks to this course I was able to mentally prepare myself for a completely different experience and my partner actually knew how to show up and support me. It also gave us tools for postpartum as a couple we didn't have the first time around. We are so grateful!"
