The Birth Preparation Course – Women's Wellness Coaching by Dr. Nicole Calloway Rankins

do you want to be KNOWLEDGEABLE, Prepared, Confident, and Empowered for your birth?

Fears about giving birth are TOTALLY NORMAL.

Your mom had them. Your friends had them. I had them and I'm an ob/gyn physician!

If you're like most women, you probably have no idea what to expect during labor and delivery. That can be scary.  Plus it's easy to get confused by all the different birth stories from well-meaning friends and family.  It's hard to know what's normal or what's “right”.

What's the best way to ease your fear and confusion? Do your homework and be prepared. But maybe you're not quite sure how to do that.

I'm Dr. Nicole Calloway Rankins and my goal is to ensure that you are knowledgeable, prepared, confident, and empowered on one of the most important days of your life - your baby's birth day. 

View the short video below and let me explain how I can help.

About NICOLE

Hi there! I'm Nicole - a wife, mother to 2 girls, OB/GYN Physician and certified Integrative Health Coach. My passion and purpose is providing respectful, holistic, evidence-based resources to help you have a healthy pregnancy and birth. 


I've been in practice for over 10 years and I created The Birth Preparation Course after seeing so many women feel scared, overwhelmed, and unprepared when it came time to give birth. Before I created the course, I conducted surveys and spoke with pregnant women to be sure I included the information they wanted to know about giving birth. After the course was done I tested the material to be sure the course met their needs. I’m proud of the result - a convenient, comprehensive, evidence-based and affordable course to help you feel knowledgeable, prepared, confident and empowered going into your birth.


It's a great privilege for me to help women through childbirth, and I’m so excited to share my knowledge and expertise with you during your pregnancy and childbirth journey. I'll see you inside the course!
