I aim to help you make informed choices, learn strategies for a positive birth experience, and feel empowered on your journey into parenthood.
A note from Jacki
When I first found out that I was pregnant, I had no idea what I was getting into! I immediately called a local provider and assumed they would walk me through the process with my best interests in mind. As my pregnancy progressed and I dove into the research, listened to stories, and asked questions, I realized that not all aspects of birth were centered around the family itself. Particularly within a system deeply rooted in tradition over evidence and weighed down by liability concerns and hierarchy, getting myself educated and prepared was the best thing I could have done for my birth! Now, I love helping other parents do the same.
“Me and my husband took the 6 week evidence based birth class taught by Jacki and we are so happy we did! Not only did we learn so much, but it helped us to prepare mentally and physically for upcoming birth and what is to follow. The course helped guide us to think beforehand of questions or scenarios that we may face and we feel confident navigating them if they present themselves to us. Jacki makes the course approachable and accessible for all! We would recommend it!” -Mallory

Listen to what other students of the Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class have had to say:
“My wife and I recently completed the Evidence Based Birth (EBB) class at Red Jasper. As first-time parents, we found Jacki’s leadership and guidance exceptional. She provided us with clear, unbiased information that supported our diverse birth preferences, whether we were planning a natural birth or a hospital birth. Her deep knowledge of birth topics was evident throughout the course, and her expertise as a pelvic health doctor added tremendous value, offering unique insights that we wouldn’t have received elsewhere.
The environment Jacki created was welcoming and nonjudgmental, making it a perfect space for new parents, as well as experienced parents, to learn and feel empowered. I highly recommend this class to anyone preparing for childbirth!” -Ohsee
“I took the Evidence Based Birth class with Jacki and it was everything and more that all expecting parents should know about the labor and delivery process. Jacki was great about presenting information in an unbiased format, and always referencing the most up-to-date evidence/literature regarding each “standard” practice when it comes to birthing procedures in our area. I feel more prepared than ever in terms of what to expect when the birth time comes. Would recommend taking this course to any moms or partners who are expecting!” -Hailey
