Information is power.
1 in 4 births in the united states are induced. preparing for inductions and understanding inductions is a key piece of preparing for birth.
A guide to induction is a pre-recorded and self paced course designed to help doulas, birthing folks, and birth partners feel empowered, informed, and prepared as they navigate options, provider opinions, and their own desires and preferences.
It is ESSENTIAL that you are ready to confidently turn down an unncessary induction, or walk into a medically necessary or elective induction with confidence, clarity, and understanding of every step of the process.
That is why I created this class. it is a wealth of knowledge that all doulas & parents need in their tool box.

Meet Your Instructor
We might already know eachother, but if not…I’m Evan! And I’m so thrilled that you’re here, thristy for new information and guidance around all things birth, induction, and beyond.
It may seem like a strange obsession for a birth doula who’s work is rooted in herbs, plants, and believing in magic. But, over the years- I’ve developed a fiery passion for helping people navigate the medical system.
Though I’m not a medical provider, I am fluent in medical language. I love helping people understand jargon and feel confident navigating the healthcare system, know what questions to ask, and never feel like they’re getting swept away in policy and protocol.
If you want to understand induction, become a powerful advocate, and enhance your skillset, you are in the right place.
This class is included in Cocoon Doula Mentorship, so if you’re in that course- you’ve already got it!
