Samantha Hoffman, Founder of Coach House Consulting Hello, and welcome! My name is Sam. I am Toronto-based registered nurse with over 12 years of experience in women’s and newborn health. I’m also a mom to a baby and a busy school-age kid and toddler so I can relate to the challenges of being a new parent. Through my expert nurse knowledge and my first-hand experience being pregnant and becoming a new mom, I found myself uniquely positioned to provide educational programs to pregnant women and their partners. I started this business wanting to provide education that empowers women and their families to make informed decisions throughout their pregnancy and parenthood journey. When I was pregnant, I witnessed massive gaps in the healthcare system despite being a nurse with extensive knowledge in pregnancy. I can only imagine how confusing it must be for women outside of the system. From this experience, I decided to create a course where women could get access to up-to date, evidence-based information throughout their pregnancy. I’ve put together information about pregnancy & postpartum health, navigating the medical system and useful community resources in the Toronto area. My hope is that pregnant women and their partners can feel supported, connected, informed and ready to become parents. https://www.coachhouseconsulting.com/free-resources daily 0.75 2023-01-24 https://www.coachhouseconsulting.com/free-resource-library daily 0.75 2025-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e5911291cb021c7bbb8c1/1611762392396-9WGJTK8NWMHKI3X6C7K4/Hospital+Packing+List+image+for+web_Downloadable.png Free Resource Library https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e5911291cb021c7bbb8c1/1611762416157-5GA9VJP0JBH1JBI9N0K6/Getting+Ready+for+Baby++image+for+web_Downloadable.png Free Resource Library https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e5911291cb021c7bbb8c1/1611762368590-UF8NSYS1C9P3RWNVIYOB/Pregnancy+Roadmap+image+for+web_Downloadable.png Free Resource Library https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e5911291cb021c7bbb8c1/1611762432100-IWSIW4XB9UXQNULL821M/When+to+go+to+the+hospital+during+pregnancy+image+for+web_Downloadable.png Free Resource Library https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e5911291cb021c7bbb8c1/1624985325650-PHXWH9JMG7ALJERAGJ5T/Bump+to+Baby+Course+Overview+for+webDownloadable.png Free Resource Library https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e5911291cb021c7bbb8c1/307fb97e-3aa0-4837-b18f-c4392553a3b6/Postpartum+Feeding+webDownloadable+%281%29.png Free Resource Library https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e5911291cb021c7bbb8c1/1624984124775-15FVJCOHMDF3CQHXC14I/Stages+of+labour+for+webDownloadable.png Free Resource Library https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e5911291cb021c7bbb8c1/1624984944444-ZY6DTZYFCVI1CF284YGL/Place+Holder+webDownloadable.png Free Resource Library https://www.coachhouseconsulting.com/prenatalcareguidebookform daily 0.75 2021-04-21 https://www.coachhouseconsulting.com/prenatal-care-guidebook daily 0.75 2025-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e5911291cb021c7bbb8c1/1619019935978-ACZOUQNQB0N2HPL49AHI/Cover+page+for+Prenatal+guide_Template+%281%29.png Prenatal Care Guidebook
