Our History

Sibley Memorial Hospital

Sibley Memorial Hospital (2006–2010)

Sibley Memorial Hospital – For several years (2006–2010), Momease instructors worked as childbirth educators, teaching a variety of Sibley prenatal classes. We worked with the director of parent education and other staff members to redesign their curriculum to use InJoy Birth and Parenting Education materials.

Our Clients Love Us

Check Out Some Testimonials From Our Clients

Our Clients Love Us
I worked for Carolyn for 7 years as a prenatal instructor. It was a very positive experience. She is very professional and easy to work for. She is an excellent instructor. I have watched her teach, seen how with her knowledge, her compassion and her gentle use of humor she reduces the stress levels of both the moms and their partners. I have been with her when a woman with a baby or a young child has stopped her on the street to thank Carolyn once again for having been the woman’s doula. I highly recommend Carolyn as an instructor, a doula and an employer.
Christy B
Carolyn was an outstanding teacher in the Momease classroom and an amazingly dedicated doula in the delivery room. We’re so glad that she was by our side. Her class and doula service were worth every penny!
Jennifer S.
We were happy with our Momease childbirth 1 2 3 course — and Carolyn graciously refunded our fee for a subsequent course we could not attend for medical reasons.
