Like so many new mothers, I was completely unprepared, blind to the other birth that was happening: the birth of myself as a mother.
Kimberly Ann Johnson
Author, The Fourth Trimester
What makes a great birth and what most mothers are never told
Most mothers walk in with half the picture. Here is what the other half looks like.
Why Most Mothers Feel Like Passengers in Their Own Birth
Why the birth experience matters more than the outcome.
Why less than 10% of families have access to the care they'd actually want (and how to find out if yours does)
The three filters every birth decision needs to pass through, and what happens when you skip them
The Biggest Preparation Mistakes Most Parents Make
Why treating birth like a sprint, not a marathon, is the single biggest preparation mistake most couples make
The phase of the birth journey that contains over 60% of all documented problems, and receives almost none of the preparation
Why a birth plan could actually leave you less prepared,and what to build instead
The Three Gaps the System Was Never Built to Fill
The form of support the World Health Organization has recommended, and why almost no family in Nairobi currently has access to it
Why an unprepared birth partner in the delivery room is not a missed opportunity but an unplanned risk, and what he needs to know in advance
Why 1 in 3 new parents report feeling completely alone after birth, and what prevents it before it starts
Plus much more. Built on 300+ documented birth stories from real Nairobi mothers and ten specialist interviews. Click the button to secure your spot.

Nobody brought it to Nairobi.
The knowledge that changes how you walk into that room, and how you remember it for the rest of your life, has existed for decades. It was never organised for you, in this city, in one place. This workshop is the first time it has been.

What the research actually found
The mothers who had the smoothest births were not necessarily the most satisfied. And the mothers who had the hardest births were not necessarily the most traumatised. What predicted how a woman felt about her birth, fifteen to twenty years later, was something else entirely.
A difficult birth with good support was remembered positively. An easy birth with poor support was remembered with regret.

Things I Know Now That Took Me 2 Births to Find Out
Gertrude, Founder & CEO, NurtureNest
Here is something we don't talk about enough. Birth is not just an event that ends with a healthy baby, although that is always the priority. It leaves an imprint. On how you see yourself. On your confidence. On how present you're able to be with your baby in those first weeks, when a hard birth is still something your body and mind are recovering from. I know this because I lived it twice.
I am not a doctor. I am not a midwife. I am a mother who went through this twice and came out the other side knowing things nobody had thought to tell me. Things that were sitting in research for decades. Things that would have changed everything about how I walked into that room.
I had to find them myself. Here is how.
My first child was born during COVID. I had a smooth pregnancy. I believed, because millions of women have done this before me, that it would be fine. Day 4, I was sitting in the dark, holding my baby, crying. Not because something had gone wrong. Because I didn't understand what was happening to my body. Because nobody had told me what to expect from my body in those first days. I thought something must be wrong with me.
With my second pregnancy, I prepared. I researched. I read everything I could find. I thought I knew what was coming. It hit me harder than the first time. The recovery was worse. The exhaustion was deeper. And this time, the darkness did not lift.
"Why is this so hard for me? Is this the reality for every mother? Have we just normalized the suffering?"
When I came through the other side, I understood something that changed everything. The system was not bad. It was built for efficiency, liability, and volume. Not for your experience. Not for your story. It was working exactly as it was designed to. I just was not the one it was designed for.
And that is not your fault.
But here is what I learned: the responsibility for your birth experience was always yours. It just was never handed to you with the means to hold it. Most families hand that responsibility to the system without realising they had it in the first place. The moment I understood that, I stopped waiting for something that was never coming. I went looking for what I needed. And I found it.
What I eventually learned is that a positive birth experience has very little to do with how the birth itself goes, vaginal or cesarean, with or without interventions. It comes down to four things: feeling respected, feeling heard, feeling listened to, and feeling in control of what is happening to you. That's it. That's what we built this workshop around.
I once heard a child psychologist put it perfectly: nobody expects a doctor to become a great doctor overnight. We don't expect a CEO to be a great CEO overnight. We definitely don't expect even naturally gifted athletes to become great players without the best coaches and the best training camps. Parenting is the only job that is this hard and this important, where we still expect ourselves to figure it out alone. If a few hours and a few thousand shillings can change how you experience the most important days of your life, that is exactly where it should go.
These are the things I wish someone had told me. Every single one, organized, structured, and put in front of you before you need it. That is why this workshop exists. And why I want you there.

What families said they wish they'd known sooner.
FIRST TIME MOM
“I run a department of forty people. I’ve sat in rooms making decisions worth millions. Then I had my daughter, and for the first time in my career I felt like I had no idea what I was doing. Looking back now, that was not because parenting is impossible. It is because I had never once prepared for it the way I prepare for everything else in my life. This workshop was the first time anyone treated getting ready for birth as a skill you could actually study, not something you just figure out.”
Nancy
First-time mum
First-time dad
“Before the workshop, I thought my job was just to be there and not get in the way. Watching her in labour, my instinct was to feel sorry for her, like something was going wrong. Then they reframed it for us: this is more like watching an athlete push through the hardest part of a race, not an injury. That changed everything. I stopped pitying her and started cheering her on. She told me afterwards she could feel the difference.”
Leo
First-time dad
SECOND-TIME DAD
“There was a moment in labour where I turned to my husband and said, I cannot do this anymore. Because of the workshop, he did not panic. He just said, that is a good sign, you are close. He was right. If I had not known that beforehand, I think I would have asked for an epidural right there, not because I needed it, but because I thought something had gone wrong. Instead, an hour later, I was holding my baby.”
George
First-time mum
Second-time mum
“Nobody told me that the car ride to the hospital could undo everything. I had been managing my contractions fine at home, calm, in the zone. Then the bright lights, the questions at triage, how many weeks, how many contractions, and just like that, everything stopped. In the workshop they explained why this happens and how to protect that calm state on the way in. With my second, we did it differently, and I walked into that hospital exactly the way I had left home.”
Alma
Second-time mum

FAQs
My doctor is handling everything. Do I really need this?
I can find this information free online. Why pay KES 3,000?
90% of what we cover in this workshop exists somewhere across the internet. But across all the content out there, you end up watching repeats of the same information over and over, and still not getting the full picture. The algorithm won't show you what you most need to prepare for. It shows you what you already watch. If you're not watching videos about C-sections, it will not show you videos about C-sections, even though it's really important that every expecting family have some information about them going in. And the worst part? It is very unlikely that your partner is going to consume all of that pieced-together content with you. You're leaving him behind. The beauty of this workshop is that it is sequential. You know what to expect. It's done with your partner. You're not going to get repeats. You're not going to have gaps. And you walk away with the full picture, not the headline.
My partner doesn't think we need this. What do I do?
What if we can't both attend the live session?
I'm [X] weeks pregnant, is it too early, or too late?
I don't have three hours for a workshop right now.
I already have a birth plan. Is that not enough?
This is my second baby. I have been through this before.
