An intimate & interactive class for mamas-to-be hosted by birth doula Carson Meyer
Begins March 7, 2023
Meets every Tuesday on Zoom
5:00-6:30pm PST
Two years ago, in the midst of the pandemic, expecting parents began reaching out to me expressing feelings of isolation and concern regarding the ever-changing hospital restrictions. With the intention of providing a loving community for my clients, and the best tools for navigating this journey from a place of feeling informed and empowered, Growing Together was born.
This virtual 12-week circle for mothers covers everything from healthy pregnancy practices and nutrition, to childbirth education, comfort measures, postpartum care and breastfeeding preparation. Not only is it an all-in-one, in-depth class for expecting mothers, it is most importantly a safe space to explore all the questions and emotions that come with transitioning into the great unknown.
I am truly in awe of the amazing community of women - from all over the country - that this circle has brought together. The way they show up for themselves, their children and for one another with an open heart and mind gives me so much hope for the future. In a time where everything feels polarizing, there is nothing more important than coming together and holding space for this unique and sacred journey.

Testimonials
What a pleasure to be part of Carson's GROWING TOGETHER class! Her abundant knowledge and attention to detail has helped me feel so much more confident and supported - not only in pregnancy and birth, but in regards to postpartum care and how to create a toxin-free environment for my coming bundle of joy as well! Her playful use of props and visuals help to make the many terms (which were new to me) more relatable and tangible. For me, the number one take away from this class, which I am forever grateful for, is the new found trust I have in myself. I was designed to carry and deliver a baby without fear. Bless you, Carson!
Any expectant mammas out there looking for some amazing and helpful knowledge, as well as an awesome community, as you navigate being pregnant during a pandemic? Take this class! It's one of the best decisions I've made during this process, and I'm so grateful for everything I've learned!

As a second-time mamma I wasn't sure if I'd feel out of place joining Carson's Group. I shouldn't have even questioned it! Carson and the ladies in my GROWING TOGETHER group provided such an incredibly rewarding and empowering experience. I feel so informed, excited and even peaceful about brining my little boy into the world. Thank you Carson for all the knowledge, support and love!

- DR. CASEY LOEWY
After just one session I realized I made an incredibly important choice for my pregnancy! In addition to making new friends and finding a support system in the class, I received the most crucial education about what was going on with my body and my baby. Carson guided us all with scientific and intuition-led learning. I wish I could take it again! It was the highlight of my week, and one of the most special experiences of my pregnancy.
- SARAH HEYWARD
This angel of a person created a digital prenatal course. If I were pregnant again, I would sign up in a minute. Thank you Carson for sharing your spirit and gifts in this way.
Just finished my mamas circle with the most incredible doula, Carson. I learn so much every time! I couldn't recommend signing up for her next one MORE!

We can't recommend this thorough, informative and empowering course enough, led by the sweetest lady who covers everything from nutrition for pregnancy and postpartum to preparing the mind and body for labor, breastfeeding, supporting hormone and so much more. Mamas-to-be, you're in the best hands!

Carson is an incredible beam of light and played such a large role in getting us ready for Jane's birth. If you are pregnant, I highly recommend taking advantage of this course.
This sanctuary of a circle made me feel prepared physically, but was also a beautiful supportive community to talk about my fears and questions around childbirth. Carson is a magical human with a gift for hiding space for people.

Carson is an amazing resource and a HUGE part of the reason why my birth wishes became a reality. This is a great course that empowers pregnant women and their partners during the prenatal and postnatal period. It helps build community and connection to other moms.
Our amazing doula Carson is hosting an online prenatal circle . Her energy is so calming and soothing and she has some great suggestions for comfort and support during pregnancy! I'm obviously biased as she's one of my favorite people.
