Prep for Post from Through to Thrive, A Brand New Class

Hello out there!

Summer is finally here, and we’re soaking in every bit of sunshine and joy! Over the past month, we’ve been hard at work developing our education program—and today, we’re excited to spotlight a special offering that’s already making waves.

Back in May, we introduced the Prep for Post class. Today, we’d love to share more about what makes this class so unique and answer some common questions.

What is Prep for Post?

In this class an experienced educator and doula will guide you through creating a detailed, four-page postpartum wellness plan. You’ll receive six hours of thoughtful instruction and meaningful conversation, followed by personalized check-ins from your instructor to support your journey after birth. The class includes a workbook, or you can purchase The First Year bundle of books for an additional fee.

What makes this class special?

Unlike many courses that focus on birth or newborn care, Prep for Post centers the parents. It’s a groundbreaking approach to preparing for life with a baby—developed by licensed mental health counselor Kate Littlefield. As Kate shares:

“designed based on years of experience in which parents in various stages of parenting said “nobody ever told me…” and realizing that there are definitely more things we could be telling parents before the arrival of a new baby - whether it’s the first baby or a new baby arriving to a home with seasoned parents”

Who is this class for?

Prep for Post is designed for anyone expecting a baby and a support person of their choice—whether that’s a partner, friend, sibling, or parent. We strongly encourage attending as a pair, there’s no additional charge for your support person to join you.

What will we cover?

You’ll explore:

• Navigating life with a newborn (or newborns!)

  
  

• Understanding and addressing postpartum mood disorders and other challenges

  
  

• How to ask for help—and when
