FAQ
Are there clinical studies to prove these courses works?
Extensive clinical research supports the benefits of perinatal education, including online, self-paced formats. Studies have shown that such programs can significantly reduce fear of childbirth, alleviate psychological distress, and enhance preparedness for labor. For instance, research published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research indicates that digital guided self-help mindfulness training effectively alleviates psychological distress among pregnant women and supports positive infant outcomes.
Another study in the Journal of Advanced Nursing found that web-based antenatal care systems can reduce maternal stress and improve self-efficacy during pregnancy.
ScienceDirect
These findings underscore the effectiveness of online, self-paced perinatal education in supporting maternal well-being and enhancing childbirth experiences.

How is a Nurtured Nest course different from an in-person class?
In-person classes can be great for asking specific questions or connecting with other parents — but they’re not always ideal for deep, reliable learning. That’s where Nurtured Nest stands apart.
| In-Person Class | Nurtured Nest Online Course |
|---|---|
| Experience varies by instructor and group | Consistent, expert-led content in every course |
| Topics may shift depending on who’s attending | Thoughtfully structured to cover everything you need |
| Often rushed or hard to fit it all in | Bite-sized videos designed for real-life attention spans |
| One-time session — hard to revisit info later | 12 months of access so you can come back anytime |
| Travel and scheduling challenges | Learn from home, whenever it works for you |
| Often $100+ | Affordable pricing, FSA/HSA eligible, financial help available |
Bottom line: If you want reliable, expert-backed education that fits your life and sticks with you when you need it — Nurtured Nest is here for you.
Our courses are more than just learning videos. When you enroll, you get:
✅ Expert-led video lessons — short, clear, and practical
✅ Downloadable guides & printables — like checklists, cheat sheets, and reflection prompts
