Postpartum Planning Workshops
The Village Doula & The Nest
NEWCASTLE
This is not your average prenatal class.
The Village Doula and The Nest has been thoughtfully designed for both first time and experienced parents wanting honest, evidence informed and emotionally supportive preparation for life after birth.
​
Facilitated by experienced professionals and mothers, Aly Chapman and Joanna McKeown gently guide parents through the real and often unspoken transitions into parenthood.
