What Makes Us Unique

Our training is community-driven, evidence-based, trauma-informed, and coaching-oriented —centering perinatal coaching visits to support better outcomes, improve work-life balance, reduce burnout, and sustain a long-term career in birth work.

We teach intentional, strategic birth support
By leading a series of perinatal coaching conversations, you are working within the system’s structure—one that already recognizes the value of these visits and reimburses you for them.

We are known for our patient-centered advocacy strategy
Allowing you to build strong, respectful teamwork with nurses, providers, and birth teams while individualizing maternal care

Neri delivers the right amount of information and all the examples she brings up kept me very interested. I felt like I was studying with a friend thanks to her warm voice, her encouragement, and the added tips and tricks that she shares from her extensive experience. Now I also came to realize how precious the coaching tools are.

Neri Life Choma

Bay Area and West Coast Trainer

Neri holds an M.A degree in cognitive science. She is a certified birth doula and childbirth educator, a certified hypnotherapist, a transformational life Coach and NLP practitioner.

During her 20 years of practice, Neri founded a doula support program in a major hospital, and a birth resource center. She led hundreds of childbirth education classes and workshops and supported many couples through their birth. (See Neri's CV here.)

After becoming a life coach, Neri led doula training programs and professional development workshops with the goal of teaching birth professionals to integrate coaching skills into the field of birth support. She is the founder of Birth Coach Method, and have created all the workshops, online classes and products of the company.

In November 2012 Neri launched her DVD Practicing for an Active Birth, The Most Comprehensive Audio-Visual Guide for an Active and Healthy birth which you can find in our store. In November 2016 she published her first book The Art of Coaching for Childbirth, Integrating the Principles of Coaching into Birth Support.

Supporting families through pregnancy and birth has shown me how powerful it can be when people feel informed, heard, and deeply supported in their choices. I feel incredibly honored to have walked alongside so many birthing families, and I bring that same care and responsibility into training the next generation of doulas.
Teaching birth support professionals is meaningful. Every doula I train will go on to hold space for families during some of their most vulnerable and transformative moments. My goal is to help doulas build practical skills, confidence, and the ability to listen to clients and trust them. I am proud to be part of Birth Coach Method’s mission of providing compassionate, client-centered support.

Corrine guides clients in aligning body and mind for birth, while her training in perinatal coaching supports emotional readiness and trust in the process.
In 2016, after being a long-time subscriber to Birth Coach Method's Perinatal Coaching Program, Corrine became a Birth Coach Method Doula Trainer, leading the Boston Doula Training. Here's what her student, Alicia, wrote about her expereince as Corrine's student:
"Corrine is so knowledgeable and an excellent coach. Between her abundance of knowledge and experience and her real-life references, I felt in such great hands knowing she had all the information and more! Corrine also offers mentorship and client matching for her students, which has been incredible! She is always willing to answer any questions I have (even when I am in the middle of supporting someone in labor) and I just feel so confident stepping into this work knowing she is by my side every step of the way! If anyone is ever feeling called into this work, I could not recommend Corrine's training enough! I promise, it would be a decision you will thank yourself for years to come!
