Where to find Birthing by Heart
Services families mention
“My husband was able to learn from Hugo, an experienced dad, on the ways that he could be involved and how to best support me during pregnancy, labor and postpartum.”
“I recommended their classes to another couple I know, I feel like the birth fundamentals and bringing baby home classes were both extremely helpful.”
“Sumer was always checking in on me and we even came by postpartum to her breastfeeding support class and she helped me so much with my breastfeeding journey.”
What families say again and again
“This class gave us the confidence about the birthing process and all the options for any decisions we needed to make during labor and birth.”
“My husband was able to learn from Hugo, an experienced dad, on the ways that he could be involved and how to best support me during pregnancy, labor and postpartum.”

What families say
Sumer and Hugo are awesome people; a really loving couple and experienced parents, taking their classes together brought my husband and I closer together and helped prepare us for every birth situation possible. We used another doula for our pregnancy and birth and I asked Sumer to come by postpartum for support.
If you and your partner are looking for a down-to-earth experience in learning about pregnancy, labor, and delivery, I cannot recommend Birthing by Heart more! Sumer and Hugo are a husband and wife duo that make you feel comfortable and confident when going into the adventure that is labor!
I cannot recommend the birthing by heart team enough! My husband and I took the birthing course and newborn essentials class. We loved the classes so much! Not only did we learn lots of information but we were empowered to make decisions and consider all the options.
Honestly I don’t know what we would have done without Sumer and Hugo’s class! I’m an RN and thought I knew what I needed to know about birth but I was so wrong! Their class prepared us in a calm, informed and fun way (we actually looked forward to class which I didn’t expect).
