Still Not Convinced?
Okay, let me put it like this...
Let's say you're trying to navigate the challenging world of infant sleep patterns. Your baby, who is a few months old, has been having trouble sleeping through the night. Desperate for a solution, you turn to the internet for advice.
Instantly, you are bombarded with hundreds of articles, blog posts, and forum discussions. Each piece of advice seems to contradict the next. Suggestions like 'cry it out' method, while another advocates for co-sleeping. Yet another insists that a strict schedule is key, and someone in a parenting forum mentions a magical sleep suit that worked wonders for their child.
Now you're overwhelmed by the conflicting advice, and your baby STILL isn't sleeping at night.
The vast amount of information available online can be overwhelming, especially when it's contradictory. For parents like you, who are seeking reliable, evidence-based advice tailored to your unique situation, we've created a better way.
Are you ready...
To DITCH the stress and overwhelm of a Google search, and instead, have a whole library of information, resources, mini-trainings, workbooks, guides, specifically built for new and expecting parents?
To feel informed and secure, knowing you're only getting information from the BEST, unbiased, most trustworthy, and evidence-based resources, instead of second-guessing the quality of information.
To spend less time looking for a solid answer, and spend more time doing what matters- like focusing on and enjoying your pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and parenting journey.

Imagine how different your life will be when...
you can trust that whatever information you find because it comes from an unbiased, evidence base source.
"With Paige's helped my boyfriend and I fell confident in our decisions, never trying to sway us into a certain decision, but rather providing us with the information so we could choose what was best for us. Paige helped me feel confident and relaxed, and trust that my body would do exactly what it needed to. Even though I ended up changing some of my preferences, I felt confident in my choices, and felt like my birth went exactly how it was meant to (even if it wasn't what I originally wanted). I wouldn't have changed any part of my beautiful experience. "
Kellie K. First Time Mom
"Paige absolutely helped me better prepare my mind and body going into labor my second time around. Labor comes with a lot of anticipatory anxiety (and I had tons), but there is so much you can to do prepare for a, yes- hard event and recovery. She helped me see that to be true. One of my biggest anxieties was having another long labor. My first was 29 hours. God might've been listening too well. I dilated to 10cm in just one hour of contractions beginning. My husband and I were better advocated because of our work with Paige. I'm forever grateful for my experience."
Sarah S. Second time Mom
