Evidenced Based Ongoing Continuity of Care – When you Need it Most!


Pregnancy does not pause between appointments – but support often does. Even at the best of times care can be fragmented, or unavailable, right when families need continuity the most. The Optimizing Outcomes program was built to fill the gaps. A constant, trusted, evidence-based relationship that stays with you from the moment you know you are pregnant until 6 months postpartum.
Optimizing Outcomes Perinatal Education Pathway – Continuity of Care That Works!
WHAT IS INCLUDED? This pathway is designed for each session to build on the next in order for parents to build confidence, knowledge and support and improve birth, breastfeeding and responsive parenting outcomes. Join early! If you are later in your pregnancy you can catch up easily as the sessions repeat live every month and you have full access to recorded sessions as well. When you buy the complete package you receive ongoing support and the ability to check in every month, and access to recordings. You will also receive 1 month free membership which will mean you can attend all of the on going live question and answer sessions (Lactation /Parent Support/Birth Preparation/ on a weekly basis until your baby is six months old. Here is what the Optimizing Outcomes Pathway Includes.

Pregnant? Start Here – FREE
Wherever you are in your pregnancy – if you have just found us – start here. This session will provide important information and resources – FREE for everyone,

Optimizing Outcomes: Prenatal 12-24 weeks
Our unique cohorted program ensures you know what you need – when you need it – with ample time to ask your questions live, online every week. Every session will discuss your babies development, ways to optimize your health and theirs and build your knowledge and confidence over the whole course of your pregnancy.. (Don’t worry you can catch up if you are already further along on your pregnancy)

Optimizing Outcomes: Prenatal Breastfeeding Information Session
Learn the important steps to success BEFORE your baby arrives. Come while you are pregnant 24-36 weeks is perfect.

Optimizing Outcomes: Prenatal 24- 33 weeks
Our sessions are designed to work together; with each one building on the next so you feel informed, ready and confident when your baby arrives. (Don’t worry you can catch up if you are already further along on your pregnancy)

Optimizing Outcomes: Partners Only Session
This session will explore the changes to come from the partners perspective and provide tools and tips and a safe supportive place to ask your questions. Your partner or support person can attend between 24-36 weeks

Optimizing Outcomes: Prenatal 33 Weeks or More
This is the part everyone gets excited about – The Birth. Join us to discuss informed consent, comfort measures, common interventions, and how to set yourself up for success. There will be lots of time for questions and answers.

Optimizing Outcomes: Last Few Weeks of Pregnancy / First few weeks with your Newborn
This session supports families through the last few weeks of pregnancy and the first few weeks with a newborn. A time when questions often become more immediate and the stakes can feel higher. We talk about getting physically uncomfortable, what to do when waiting feels hard, and how to understand induction risk, timing, and options if induction is offered or recommended. We also explore what happens if a cesarean birth becomes part of your story, including how to prepare, what questions to ask, and how to protect recovery, bonding, and infant feeding wherever possible. From there, we shift into the early postpartum window: Making sure you are recovering well, knowing which warning signs should never be ignored, addressing the common things that can derail breastfeeding, understanding normal newborn behaviour, and setting up support so the first weeks of parenting feel less overwhelming and more manageable. Take this session between 34-37 weeks, earlier if you are high risk for preterm birth.

Ongoing – Live Weekly Q and A with an LC
Come to a live, limited capacity, weekly session and have all of your breastfeeding questions answered. Come when you are pregnant and learn from those who have delivered, and come after you have birthed to have your breastfeeding journey supported in real time.

Ongoing – Live Weekly Parent Support Sessions
These weekly parent sessions cover the core topics that parents ask about the most: sleep, crying, safety, and attachment/ bonding. Every session includes lots of time for live questions so you can come as many times as you like and ask new questions as your baby moves through the developmental phases of infancy. To make the most out of these sessions – come for the content while you are pregnant and then come again after your baby arrives to refresh your memory, tune in to ask your questions and get ongoing support through this miraculous period of infant brain growth. (you can just come for the Q and A if you have seen the material a few times, the questions you ask can be about any aspect of your journey, not only the topic of the day.)

We Wish We Could Do It All For Free- Can You Help Us?
Sadly there is not enough funding to make this program universally accessible. If you believe it should be – please consider a donation. 100% of your direct donations go to subsidizing sessions for participants in need (no tax receipt). Want a tax receipt? We partner with local charitable organizations which support pregnant women. When you donate this way 40% of your donation stays with the charity, 60% comes back to IPEA to subsidize sessions for participants and you get a receipt for the full amount.
