"I would absolutely recommend your class to anyone!"
Your class helped me tremendously especially with breastfeeding, an area that I was totally unfamiliar with. I cannot thank you enough for how amazing you are and how much my husband and I learned from you.Â

Hi, I’m Valerie!
I'm a Certified Postpartum Doula (PCD), Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) and mom of 3 (including identical twins). . .
Over the past 10 years I’ve had the amazing privilege of helping thousands of parents prepare so that they know what the heck to do with their squirmy little newborns!
I understand the road to becoming a parent, and those first few months, are the craziest mix of excitement and overwhelm and that having support during that time makes all the difference!
My years of experience means that you can stop googling (please, please stop googling) because you now have a trusted source to answer all your questions!Â
It's time for you to feel confident and prepared
just like these new parents!
"As first-time parents, the detailed information she gives has been invaluable to us. The techniques are clearly demonstrated in the videos."
"Valerie's resources are amazing and I constantly go back to watch her videos. As a first time mom, I highly recommend New Parents Academy!"
"Valerie’s classes are a great resource to go back to and rewatch, which we've already done a few times. Thank you Valerie for all the help!"
Â
"Sifting through Pinterest boards was time consuming and I found it difficult to find trustworthy resources!"
Although my husband and I were ecstatic to become first-time parents, we also felt clueless and nervous about caring for a newborn. New Parents Academy helped us to feel prepared to navigate this new adventure together! We were both so relieved to find a relevant expert resource that we could learn from and refer back to when our baby girl arrived. Although we appreciated advice from family and friends, some of this advice was outdated. We felt lost until we found New Parents Academy!
My Prepared Parents Guarantee - 100% risk-free
Baby gear is expensive & maternity leave might have you watching your budget. I promise this is worth the investment. If you don't agree then I don't want to keep your money.
If you look around inside the course and decide anytime in the next two weeks that it's not what you were looking for I'll give you your money back, no hard feelings.
Just send me an email at [email protected] within 14 days of purchase and I'll give you a full refund.
"We had taken several other online courses for labor, delivery, and for postpartum care and we found Valerie's style extremely succinct, easy to follow, and so very helpful (dare I say enjoyable!) to watch before the birth of our first baby. She gives you exactly the information you need to know, no extra nonsense, in a friendly and well organized manner that leaves you feeling extremely prepared and empowered. "
