Leslie Hutchins, LCCE

Founder, Childbirth Educator

My journey to become a childbirth educator began after the birth of my daughter in early 2021. I had not taken any formal childbirth classes when my labour began. I had done my own research and thought I was prepared. I was wrong. My labour, birth experience, and early postpartum phase opened my eyes to how much I did not know and how under-prepared I was. 

This experience awoke a passion in me to deliver evidence-based information to help others in Calgary prepare for their pregnancy, labour, delivery, and postpartum.

Today, I am a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator in Calgary, and I want individuals and their families to know their options, know their rights, know what to expect, and feel supported every step of the way. I want you to be able to make confident, informed choices. I want you to be prepared.

 

I look forward to being a part of your exciting journey!

Made to Fit

Private childbirth classes allow us to customize the content if there are subjects that are more important to you.

My private childbirth education classes are designed to be interactive, easy-to-follow, and even easier-to-schedule. I recommend you start no later than 27-30 weeks! This allows time to practice what you’ve learned, further prepare, and to take my other courses if interested!

What my students are saying

My husband and I just finished the course with Leslie and we are so thrilled with how it went! She has the course set up so well with learning blocks that everything flows really nicely and makes sense step-by-step. She keeps you engaged with demonstrations and interactive sessions, as well as practicing some positions and stretches with your partner. We feel overall so much better and as prepared as we can be now to welcome our little guy into the world! Having her come to you, and doing the sessions in the comfort of your own home with that one-on-one education was exceptional! It was so nice to have the open dialogue with her instead of a classroom setting or virtual setting, where questions come up as you go, and you might be too shy to ask in a group or unable to with online learning. We highly recommend Sage Childbirth Education!

I highly recommend Sage Childbirth! Leslie was knowledgeable, patient, and made us feel completely prepared for every step of labour and delivery. We encountered quite a few challenges during the birth of our son, but because of this course we felt empowered and informed to make decisions as things progressed, with far less stress than we could have ever imagined.

We took both the Fundamentals and Advanced courses with Sage, and they prepared us incredibly for labour with our first born. Our labour process took a few unexpected turns, but we had the knowledge to deal with everything that happened thanks to these courses. It transformed our birth experience from something that could have been really stressful and negative, into a day we both look back on really fondly. Leslie is a great instructor; knowledgeable, fun and friendly. Aside from getting a midwife, taking Leslie’s programs is the #1 thing we recommend for newly pregnant people. TAKE THESE COURSES!!
