Parent Educational Support

This Pre-Pregnancy Preparation class  is designed for individuals and their partners who plan to conceive; helping them to identify and answer questions related to the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of their soon-to-be new lives. During this class, you will gain useful information to help prepare physically and emotionally for pregnancy as well as gain information that can be implemented prior to conception to help increase the likelihood of a fruitful pregnancy.  The  class also focuses on the 1st trimester of pregnancy.  

These classes are designed to make an expecting person and partner / support feel more confident about their upcoming birth experience. The classes will help soon-to-be parents understand that birth is an ancient process and that they can birth normally and naturally by working with their body's signals.

Our educators will provide you with tools to be able to navigate your birth in any environment including home, hospital or birth center and whether you desire to have a medicated or non-medicated birth. We will assist your partner in learning comfort techniques  and other skills to provide more effective support. 

These classes will also help parents be able to make informed decisions about their care and their baby's care by providing information pertaining to childbirth and the postpartum period; including  breastfeeding AND baby basics. Our educators will help you to build the knowledge you need to have a self-empowering birth experience. 

This lactation class helps to prepare parents for their breastfeeding journey. Black parents in particular don’t always receive the support needed for successful breastfeeding due to lack of access to lactation professionals, limited options for culturally aligned support, generational trauma, misinformation / myths, and more. We also experience the highest infant morbidity and mortality rates, which can be prevented by having positive influences and relevant breastfeeding support and encouragement. Because of this, we offer the Mocha Milkshake Café  Lactation Class and the Mocha Milkshake Café Weekly, Peer Support Group.
