EMPOWER YOUR BIRTH—TOGETHER
AS SEEN IN:
BIRTH IS NATURAL. NAVIGATING BIRTH TODAY REQUIRES PREPARATION.
Modern birth often happens inside a fast-moving medical system where parents are asked to make high-stakes decisions—often without ever being taught how.
Nearly 1 in 3 births ends in a C-section.
Maternal death in the U.S. remains significantly higher than in similarly developed countries.
Black women are nearly 3x’s more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than White, Asian, and Hispanic women
This Is Where Preparation Makes the Difference
Pregnancy can be exciting—and quietly overwhelming.
In the U.S., birth takes place in a fast-moving, highly medicalized system. Many parents don’t realize until labor that they’ll be asked to make decisions about interventions, timing, and procedures—often while exhausted, vulnerable, and under pressure.
This isn’t because parents aren’t capable.
It’s because most couples are never given the education to navigate birth together.
When couples understand:
how labor actually works
how decisions are commonly presented
and how to communicate calmly as a team
They’re more likely to feel confident, supported, and empowered—no matter where they give birth.
Preparation doesn’t remove uncertainty—but it changes how birth unfolds.
What if birth wasn’t something you endured… but something you owned — together?
At Our BirthRoom® Academy, we prepare couples through three essential pillars:
Education
You’ll understand the physiology of labor, common hospital protocols, and how decisions are typically presented — so nothing catches you off guard. so they can support and advocate for you every step of the way.
Partnership
We train birth partners to become confident, active supporters — your BirthRoom Daddy Doula™ — equipped to advocate, encourage, and lead with calm strength.
Advocacy
You’ll learn how to ask informed questions, set respectful boundaries, and navigate recommendations without confrontation or confusion.
When these three pillars come together, confidence changes everything.
If you’re ready to prepare for birth as a team,
Our BirthRoom Academy gives you the full framework — step by step.
UNDERSTAND HOW BIRTH ACTUALLY WORKS
Pregnancy can be both exciting and overwhelming. It's easy to want to just go with the flow, but you may later realize you wish you'd had more information. With our childbirth classes, you’ll:

MEET THE BIRTHROOM DADDY DOULA™
Most childbirth classes focus almost entirely on mom.
We train dads.
Because birth isn’t a solo event — it’s a team effort.
Most partners want to help.
They just don’t know how.
Inside Our BirthRoom Academy, we transform uncertainty into leadership.
A BirthRoom Daddy Doula™— your trained birth partner —isn’t just someone who “shows up.”
They learn how to:
• Recognize the stages of labor
• Stay calm when pressure rises
• Use hands-on comfort techniques with confidence
• Protect the birth environment
• Ask informed questions when decisions are presented
• Advocate respectfully without creating conflict
They becomes steady.
They become prepared.
They become the calm in the room.
And when a mother feels supported and safe,
labor unfolds differently.
That’s not hype.
That’s physiology.
This is more than a class for moms.
It’s training for the whole team.
It’s preparation for leadership.
It’s how couples step into birth united.
Because confidence changes everything.

"The day before our son was born, we were at the hospital and they wanted to induce my wife. I asked our informed consent questions we learned…If we hadn't met Jackai and Stephen, I wouldn't have known how to handle the pressure of the hospital staff. They tried to scare us, but I held my ground and advocated for my wife and child.

"Honestly, I was a bit skeptical at first, but the education around the birth process, diet requirements, and strategies for labor, hospital births, etc., is gold. Plus, you're learning from two medical professionals in a friendly and supportive environment. Completely changed my perspective on the birthing process. I can't recommend this enough for anyone expecting children, whether it's your first baby or your fifth."

"They are truly passionate and care not only about the work they are doing to de-medicalize birth; but they genuinely care about their students and families. The love they show is evident and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Our family is truly grateful for the connections we have built with them."

"I felt a lot more at ease because of their instruction. They were also very helpful in navigating the stressful time of postpartum and gave helpful tips. I was able to deliver an almost ten pound baby without any medication, and my baby boy was born alert and eyeing everyone in the room with curiosity. It really was an amazing experience :)"

"Steve and Jackai are AMAZING teachers. They gave me the confidence as a husband and coach to walk along side my wife through her pregnancy. The information taught was incredibly indispensable with our first pregnancy. Then when our second pregnancy happened they help us with a refresher and I felt confident and excited to welcome our second kiddo into this world. I could not give them enough praise and credit as they were a part of such a unforgettable experience in our lives. Highly highly highly recommend taking their course."

We could have not been more happy with our decision having Jackai & Stephen as our birth coaches. Once we started our course with Our BirthRoom I was blown away by all the information that was provided. We both felt prepared & confident to have our baby. Of course it was hard but I felt more than ready to have my baby naturally.
Happy to report I had a healthy pregnancy along with a very healthy baby boy delivered naturally with no complications.
