The Birth Partner Toolkit

$29.99

A calm, practical guide for supporting birth with confidence and care

Birth can feel overwhelming for partners. You want to help, but you’re not always sure what to do or say when things get intense.

This toolkit was created to give partners clear, grounded guidance so they can show up with confidence, steadiness, and love, especially for families who don’t plan to have a doula present at their birth but still want doula-informed support to reference along the way.

Written by Melissa Rose Hirsch, DONA Certified Birth Doula, this digital guide offers practical tools, simple language, and nervous-system-aware support for every phase of labor. It’s designed to be easy to return to, reassuring in the moment, and supportive without feeling overwhelming.
