Meet parenthood with calm and confidence.

Roost pairs the honesty of a trusted friend with the knowledge of a clinician – a 10-session program spanning the third trimester through baby's first year, taken alongside a small cohort of parents in the same season.

The Program

Four sessions before birth. Six across the first year.

Research links strong perinatal social support to better outcomes for mom and baby.1 While most childbirth classes prepare you for one day, the Roost program is a steady rhythm of care – celebrating and navigating the joys and challenges of birth and infancy with you.

Prenatal sessions

Practical, honest guidance for birth and the fourth trimester – including the emotional and relational shifts most classes skip – to equip you for a season of joy, not survival.

Postpartum sessions

There's no such thing as a baby manual – so Roost built the next best thing: sessions timed to key baby milestones and birthing-parent recovery, to help you navigate the first year.

Why Roost

Not your typical birth class.

Every session is led by credentialed perinatal clinicians who bring the most current, evidence-based guidance from the U.S. and beyond – inside a small community of parents moving through the same season together.

01

Led by real clinicians

Every session is facilitated by credentialed perinatal health workers who have supported hundreds of families.

02

A community, not a class

You move through all ten sessions with a small group of parents because community isn't just comforting, it's clinically effective.1

03

Real talk, backed by evidence

No sugarcoating, no scare tactics – just honest, evidence-based information about what to expect from birth and early parenthood, delivered like a friend.

04

For baby, and for you

Your wellbeing matters too. Alongside baby development and infancy hot topics, sessions cover birthing parent recovery, mental health, identity, and relationships.

"To pair the honesty of a trusted friend with the knowledge of a clinician, so parents meet this new season of life with calm and confidence."
