Everything You Need, All in One Place

From newborn sleep and soothing, to postpartum healing and bonding — this course gives you the support and knowledge most parents wish they had sooner.

Hi, I’m Jaquie,

New Parent Educator, Pediatric Sleep Consultant, Postpartum Doula, Creator of Surviving the 4th Trimester, and a mom who remembers exactly how overwhelming those early weeks can feel.

I built this course because I couldn’t find what I needed when I was postpartum: something clear, calming, and evidence-based that truly helped me understand what was normal - and what to do next. I wanted practical support that felt reassuring, not rigid. So I created the guide I wish I’d had. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting hundreds of families as a Pediatric Sleep Consultant, Postpartum Doula, and New Parent Educator. I’ve distilled all that experience into this course, pouring my heart into ensuring you feel seen, supported, and confident through your 4th Trimester journey.

What Other Parents Are Saying

“Before starting the class, we felt anxious and unprepared. We had no idea what to do when we had to bring the baby home from the hospital. However, once we started the class, all those feelings disappeared quickly, like blazing quickly. Jaquie is incredible! She is calming, knowledgeable, and so reassuring. She puts things into bite-size terms and provides us with so much information.”

Elizabeth & Kevin V.

“Prenatal classes help you prepare for baby's delivery and immediate after care, but no one prepares you for what to expect in the first 12 weeks. Jaquie's series informed us of what is normal, what to do, best practices and tips and tricks we couldn't have gotten off of Googling. Her experience and knowledge removed our anxiety.”

Wendy S.

“Jaquie's class helped me recognize gaps in my knowledge, and immediately filled them - I found the class super helpful and comforting in that it both covered new and incredibly detailed information, and also reassured me that what I'd been researching on my own was on the right path.”

Mira G.

“A month ago, our gorgeous baby arrived, and I couldn't be more grateful to have taken Jaquie's course. All the information she provided has been key to take care of our baby and gave me the confidence to do it. All the information she provided has been really helpful, particularly for breastfeeding. Her advice allowed me to establish breastfeeding quickly. I highly recommend her course to all parents”

Your Questions Answered

  • Wait, so what exactly is the 4th Trimester? 

    The 4th trimester refers to the first 12 weeks of your baby’s life, a critical period for both infant development and your recovery. This time is essential for establishing a secure attachment between mother and baby, as well as adjusting to new routines and challenges. Understanding the 4th trimester helps you navigate emotions, physical changes, and the unique needs of your newborn, ultimately leading to a smoother transition into motherhood.

  • Is Surviving the 4th Trimester right for me?

    If you’re an expecting mom or you have a newborn - then yes! This course lays and builds on foundations to help you care for yourself and baby, bridging the knowledge gap left by birthing and hospital classes to cover exactly what you’ll need to know to tackle the first 12 weeks of your baby’s life. 

  • Can I start the course after my baby is born?

    Yes, Surviving the 4th Trimester provides practical hands-on solutions, guidance, and support that can be helpful while navigating the entire first 3 months of your baby’s life.  Beyond that 3-month mark you’ll likely benefit more from 1:1 customized support tailored to you and your baby’s exact needs. 

  • How long do I have access?

    You'll have unlimited access to all material so you can review it anytime.

  • What topics are covered?

    Some of the topics we cover include how to nurture the mother-baby connection and build secure attachment, along with how to prepare for your baby—physically, mentally, and emotionally. We’ll talk honestly about the realities of postpartum life, including the “TMI” things no one warns you about, so you know what to actually expect. You’ll also learn what to expect during your physical and emotional recovery—what’s normal, what’s hard, and how to support yourself through it. We’ll explore newborn behaviors, temperaments, and what your baby may be trying to communicate. You’ll get step-by-step guidance on essential newborn care, including diapering, swaddling, feeding, and soothing. We also cover breastfeeding and bottle-feeding as well as the foundations of sleep—how to set up healthy habits without pressure or perfection. Finally, we’ll help you create flexible and realistic routines that support both you and your baby, while also addressing how to cope with exhaustion, ask for help, trust your intuition, and lean on the support around you.
