Less hands-on, more impact: creating a sustainable
birth support practice and leading the best experiences

The new emerging practice of Perinatal Coaching


You wake up in the morning knowing that your calendar is filled with clients you love working with—clients who are deeply committed, fully invested, and ready to grow.
Your business runs on your terms, your schedule, and your energy.
You’re no longer dependent on an employer or burnt out—you’ve created a thriving practice that allows you to contribute to expectant individuals, birth givers, and new parents from anywhere.
You’ve got location freedom, time freedom, and freedom from being on-call. (Unless you're like me and want to preserve some of the excitement of attending births 😉 )
I’ve seen it happen again and again with Birth Coach Method students.
And when I learned these coaching tools, my clients finally showed up confident, autonomous, and with agency and achieved their desired perinatal experiences.
Now, you can facilitate immediate transformation in your practice and in the lives of those undergoing the perinatal journey by becoming a transformational perinatal coach. You'd be amazed at the results of your coaching.
That feeling when you witness your clients own their expert position and take the lead is unlike anything you've experienced in your practice till now.

3 signs that it's time You learn transformational coaching strategies

  • Your clients' childbearing experiences do not match their desired ones
  • You've been informing your clients and trying to help them make informed decisions, but realize high fear levels, rather than lack of knowledge, lead to their submissive behavior and sabotage their success.
  • You've engaged in many hours of hands-on physical support and feel unsuccessful and underpaid.

The Perinatal Coaching business is blooming 

The perinatal coaching industry is expanding rapidly, and there has never been a better time to enter this life-changing coaching field.

I always knew that birth support was my calling. But it wasn’t until I witnessed my clients struggle to achieve their dream birth that I truly understood the power of perinatal coaching.  Seeing the transformation, the confidence, and the long-lasting impact of my clients' satisfaction with themselves and their birth experiences in those who once felt fearful and lost solidified my mission: to empower others to become perinatal coaches!

Now, more than ever, expectant and new parents are searching for long-term and empowering support,  and with the proper training you can be the coach that helps them navigate their journey to confident parenthood.

Perinatal Coaching Empowers Everyone!

I developed a game-chaining method, and suddenly, I was having those priceless moments, witnessing my clients standing in their power with confidence, firm convictions, and a positive mindset about their ability to have healthy, empowering experiences. The miracle is they were well-prepared, and it reduced the hours of hands-on work significantly. More pregnant people were having better births, and they've asked me to continue coaching them during the postpartum period. I knew I must show more birth pros how to unlock the secret to healthy and positive childbearing experiences. And that started prenatally with juicy and impactful coaching conversations.

Watch, listen, and embrace the innovative method

I almost quit my doula practice

I've been a labor doula for 25 years, during which maternal care has come to rely heavily on diagnostic technologies, pain blockers, and medical interventions. Birth givers' fear levels have increased dramatically despite having Dr. Google, Dr. Facebook, and Dr. YouTube on speed dial, and fewer have achieved their desired birth experience. I was overworked, frustrated, disappointed with myself, underpaid, burnt out, and ready to quit. I wasn't alone. Many birth workers shared the experience.

My passion for birth work led me to search for better strategies that would be more impactful and game-changing for my clients and me. I found it in transformational coaching and stepped into transformative birth support.

What Our Graduates Say

"Neri's coaching method is the missing piece to birth support. I truly believe birth coaching is the way to empower birthers. Now I am able to help and encourage a mom to be the expert of her birth and body. I now have the skills to not overly invest in the outcomes of the birth I am supporting. This allows me to protect my own mental health and energy while continuing to do the work I know I'm called to do and that is to help make birth better."

- Kathleen Paige Adilapuram CD, India

"The transformational birth coach program was everything I had been longing for. There are so many different routes to take when it comes to birth support but little incorporate coaching and empowering the birth giver along their experience. Neri is amazing and I love how experienced and knowledgeable she is in the field. You can feel how much she truly loves what she does and it comes through in the course details as well as the live sessions."

- Tanai Holder, Certified Birth Coach, USA

Creating accountability - rather than be the doula rescuer when things don't go as planned. Letting clients find their own answers, take ownership, and advocate for themselves will set them on a path for life as people and parents while meeting them where they are. (Not to mention, it really helps with - preventing - doula burn-out.)

- Bertine Van Norden-Attia, Nederland

I believe the Birth Coach Method truly is the missing link in birth support and would recommend to everyone working with expectant and/or newborn mothers and parents.

- Dagný Erla Vilbergsdóttir, birth and PP doula, Iceland

I enjoyed all of Neri's sessions. As a childbirth educator and doula, Neri gave fresh perspectives and insights on how to shift the quality of maternal care through coaching.

- Nur Hafiza Kemat, Birth Doula and CBE, Qatar

I have learned to work with clients from a perspective that allows them to trust themselves, their ideas, their bodies, as well as them having a positive birth experience. Thank you Neri for all the strategies you have shared, and I cannot wait to kick off my Birth Coaching practice!
