Enriched Birth

The pitch: “The maternal mortality rate in the United States is the highest of all developed countries, and it is rising. Maternal mortality refers to the percentage of deaths in pregnancy, labor, and early postpartum, and the rate is substantially higher for Black women.

I am Angel, a Lamaze certified childbirth educator, and cofounder of Enriched Birth. In our childbirth classes, we do not push any particular type of birth. Whether having a medicated or non-medicated, vaginal or cesarean, hospital or home birth, research points to more positive outcomes when the expecting parents are informed of their choices and supported in their decisions. For this reason, our classes are private and customized to address each client’s questions and birth intentions.

When we launched in Northern Virginia, we joined the local birth work community and was voted the Washington Parents Pick for prenatal classes. Along with our paying clients, we were fortunate enough to provide free classes to those financially impacted by the pandemic and expectant teen parents.

Now, Baltimore is my home, and my goal is to make Enriched Birth a known resource in this community. While we will always provide virtual options to support parents located anywhere, I am asking for $500 to use for co-working space fees for in-person classes in the Baltimore area and printed business cards and flyers for local networking events.”

Thank you Baltimore Metropolitan Women’s Business Center for believing in our mission ❤️

Throwback to being pregnant in the summer 🥵. Fun times!

If this is going to be you…now is a great time to register for our in-person weekend childbirth prep course (June 29-30th at .dc)! We will commiserate about the heat, but also learn, explore, and get prepared as you connect with your birth partner, learn what to expect and how to advocate for yourself, and dive deep into what truly matters to you and how to own your birth.

There is limited space available, registration open on our website (link in bio).
