Care and teaching shaped by experience
BabyMatters has been serving women and families for many years, supporting people through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period with care that is steady and thoughtful.
Our work begins with listening. We take time to understand what families want for their journey, and we walk beside them as they move toward their goals.
Through education, hands-on support, and trusted resources, we help parents feel more confident and more supported.
We offer childbirth classes, doula services for families, and training opportunities for professionals. When families need something beyond what we provide, we help them find the right resources.
BabyMatters is led by Debbie Young, a childbirth educator, doula, and mentor with over three decades of experience supporting families and training birthworkers.
