do you want to be KNOWLEDGEABLE, Prepared, Confident, and Empowered for your birth?
If you're like most women, you have no idea what to expect during labor and delivery. It's easy to get confused by stories from well-meaning friends and family. Not to mention the scary stories of women having a bad experience giving birth in the hospital.
What's the best way to ease your fear and confusion and have the birth experience you want? Do your homework and be prepared. IF YOU’RE NOT EDUCATED AND PREPARED TO ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF, YOU RISK NOT HAVE THE BIRTH EXPERIENCE YOU WANT.
I'm Dr. Nicole Calloway Rankins, an ob/gyn physician and integrative health coach. I'm here 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.

About dr. NICOLE calloway rankins
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. I've also come to appreciate how important it is for women to be educated so they can advocate for themselves during their 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!
