What is Birth Day Presence?

Birth Day Presence is a training and education center for birth and postpartum care. It serves two distinct audiences through separate entry points: parents preparing for birth and newborn care, and providers (doulas, birth workers, lactation consultants) seeking certification or continuing education. Its stated approach is evidence-based and non-judgmental, drawing techniques from a range of practices rather than promoting a single method.

Who it's for

The site splits its offerings into two tracks, each with its own navigation:

If you're an expectant or new parent, you're in the "For Parents" track. If you're a doula, aspiring doula, lactation consultant, or other birth worker, you're in the "For Providers" track.

What it offers

For parents: childbirth education, breastfeeding and newborn care classes, and infant CPR classes. The site also points parents to care providers via boober, a matching service.

For providers: birth worker, doula, and lactation training. These are positioned as certification-oriented — one reviewer notes taking a class "for certification but got so much more."

The teaching philosophy

Birth Day Presence describes itself as run by parents and experienced doulas who "hand-select the best ideas and techniques from a range of practices." The stated goal is evidence-based, non-judgmental education — explicitly rejecting the "one-size-fits-all birth" model.

This matters if you're choosing between providers: the pitch is that you won't be pushed toward one birth philosophy, and that instructors bring both professional expertise and personal parenting experience.

What reviewers highlight

The testimonials on the site come from doulas and birth workers rather than parents, which is worth noting if you're evaluating the parent-facing classes. Recurring themes:

• Instructors (Debra and Jada are named) are described as knowledgeable and passionate
• Classes exceeded expectations for certification requirements
• One reviewer specifically valued a true/false quiz format and discussion of racial disparities in breastfeeding rates, including reasons behind the disparity
• Another notes the class "lit a fire" — enthusiasm that translated into wanting to share resources locally

How to decide if it fits

Consider Birth Day Presence if you want doula or lactation training from an organization that emphasizes evidence over ideology, or you're a parent seeking classes that won't prescribe a single approach.

Look elsewhere if you need pricing or scheduling details up front — the site's public pages describe offerings but don't surface cost information in the material available here. You'll need to browse the specific class or training page for that.

The clearest next step is to pick your track — For Parents or For Providers — and browse the listed classes or trainings directly.
