Materials full of inspiration, ideas for discussion and affirmations.
Access to 4 curricula - a 6 week comprehensive class; the M I N I course; a hospital specific coure; and a homebirth course.
A journal for your students, available only to BEST Certified Educators, that organizes the thoughts, hopes and dreams of couples or individuals and turns them into easy discussion points to bring up with their care provider, birth team, or partner.
The student journal is printed on the softest high quality paper. It looks and feels luxe - families will feel pampered and will want to explore and journal between classes.

Learn More About Being a BEST Educator

Everything a World Changer Needs.

Connect With Your Students.

Teach a class that begins where intuition meets evidence and prepares your students for any birth, at anywhere. The language and materials are designed to be inclusive for all families and all births. Your students will be prepared no matter what birth plans they have (or how they may change over time).

Stronger Relationships, Better Birth.

Filled with thought provoking questions designed to get parents talking to each other and their health care providers, the course journal helps students to explore what they want in their birth and how they want to experience it. Your students will love the book because it isn't your class verbatim, it inspires them to leave class thinking, journaling and preparing.

Flexibility

Becoming a BEST Certified Educator gives you access to Preparing For Birth curriculum that is both brand-able and flexible. You can add your own branding to your course and marketing and also adjust the length of the course as needed to fit your students and situation. With four included curricula - you have the flexibility to work them as you see fit.
