Hello there! I’m Genevieve, bestselling author of The Mama Natural Week-by-Week Guide to Pregnancy & Childbirth and creator of MamaNatural.com, the most popular natural pregnancy and parenting site.

For years, I’ve helped thousands of mamas have their best, most natural birth through The Mama Natural Birth Course.

Now that I’m the mama of three precious children, I’m on a mission to help other parents navigate the roller coaster ride of postpartum and move from surviving to THRIVING!

Hi! I’m Dr. Elisa Song, a holistic pediatrician and mama of two. 

In my holistic pediatric practice, Whole Family Wellness, I have helped thousands of parents and kids navigate developmental and health concerns from a natural lens. I use an integrative pediatric approach to teach parents how to heal their children from the inside out.

I’m so excited to share my decades of knowledge as a holistic pediatrician and mama with you in a fun and informative way—even if you can’t visit my office in person.

Hello, I’m Maura Winkler, a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), Registered Nurse (RN), and Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I’m also a mom and a wife!

I’ve supported hundreds of women and their families through all types of labor and birth experiences, both in and out of hospital settings. Support that goes well beyond the “delivery room” through my work as a board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) and Breastfeeding USA Counselor. 

I look forward to giving you the practical, evidence-based tools you need to begin your journey in parenthood. 

• Feeding: Get help with latching, milk supply, bottle timing, and more.

• Sleeping: Learn how to swaddle, soothe fussiness, and set sleep routines.

• Poop & Diapers: Understand what’s normal, master diaper changes, and fight diaper rash.

• Crying: Soothe your baby with expert techniques and recognize colic vs. normal fussiness.

• Play & Development: Simple ways to bond and boost baby’s brain and body.

• Growth Milestones: Track weight, milestones, and get answers to “Is this normal?”

• Daily Care: Bathe, trim nails, and handle everyday newborn care with confidence.

• Illness & Ailments: Navigate fevers, reflux, constipation, and more like a pro.

• Safety & CPR: Install car seats, prevent choking, and learn infant CPR basics.

• Gear: What you really need—and what you don’t—for a safe, natural home.

As a mom of three, I know firsthand those first several months of caring for a newborn can be challenging. You’re going to have questions (and confessions) you’ve never even considered for baby … and yourself. 

Questions like:

• “Any tips for transitioning my 5 ½ month old to sleeping alone? I kind of allowed her to develop the habit of nursing to sleep because it’s what she wanted and I didn’t stop it from happening. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Any tips?”
• “Daycare question for those of you who’ve been there … My daycare for our firstborn is a family member and I’m having a hard time speaking up about what I want for my baby.”
• “Y’all, I just realized I have no idea how to change a baby girl’s diaper… I’m so freaked out to change her diaper compared to my boy for some reason 😂” 
  

And unlike other new mom support clubs, this one is filled specifically with other new, natural mamas AND a certified doula that chimes in with answers to all these questions and more. It’s also moderated by me, Genevieve Howland aka Mama Natural! 

Because there’s nothing more encouraging, empowering, and comforting than a community of fellow new mamas to support you for all those 3 AM questions and more. You’ll quickly want to add this private 24/7 Facebook Group community to your favorites tab. 

It really does take a village, and we’re committed to being part of your village.

You may be able to execute a perfect swaddle with your eyes closed, but what about your partner? 

If your partner can’t change a diaper let alone wrangle a swaddle, The Mama Natural Baby Care Course is a great option for you. 

Rather than lecture them about what they don’t know, nag them about reading that book you gave them, or just wait for them to (hopefully) figure out those safe sleep guidelines, take the opportunity to turn this course into a bonding session. 

Cuddle up on the couch together and spend some time learning about caring for a newborn. You’ll freshen your own skills by learning all about new research and guidelines, and your partner will get a complete schooling—sans any parenting arguments. It’s a win-win. 

Unlike other options, our Baby Care Course gives you training from a board-certified pediatrician, private forums moderated by certified doula, a money-back guarantee, and 24/7/365 access to all the material!

It’s best-in-class. Here’s how we compare to other online and in-person parenting education classes.
