Paige Eastman Dickinson
Licensed Certified Professional Midwife
"Over 20 years ago I started my childbirth career as a birth doula, educating and supporting families in hospitals all over the Washington DC area. I decided to become a midwife so I could provide the evidence based care I would want to recive. Being an independent midwife is wonderful but one will always have to consult with, and sometimes transfer care to hospitals. Therefore the need to help with institutional change and improve disparities in care has never left my practice. Over and over again I have witnessed outdated, and sometimes paternalistic care. How could I help families overcome these obstacles and have a better birth? A few years ago I found Evidence Based Birth and have consistently used their tools to educate and encourage families to advocate for the kind of care that best suits them. When Evidence Based Birth came out with a childbirth education program based not only on comprehensive information, but tools to help communication in advocating for an empowering birth, I knew I would become an instructor. I would be honored to help you on your parenting journey; everyone deserves dignity and respect in childbirth!”
Listen to what some of the first students of the Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class have had to say:
“This class is a total gamechanger for us. I’d heard negative stories…I was scared and very on edge. Then once we started taking the class, and when we learned about interventions that I was apprehensive about… It brought us together in that [my partner] understood birth more, and I understood it more. And as soon as I went into labor, we were on. We were a team.”
“I really appreciated how informative it was. I knew a lot about the biology of birth and babies, but what we learned was just very impressive. It was a really good experience—fairly chill, fairly laid-back, and not nearly as stressful and awkward as I thought it might be. All the information—I never would’ve thought there was that much information out there!”

Your birth experience is too valuable for you to avoid educating yourself beforehand.
Sadly, I’ve spoken with many parents who have major regrets about how they went into birth without preparation—and the health consequences they suffered as a result

Frequestly Asked Questions
My friends told me that taking a childbirth class is a waste of time.
There are a lot of poor-quality classes out there that have given childbirth education a bad reputation. The founder of Evidence Based Birth®, Rebecca Dekker, PhD, RN, APRN, knows how to make classes exciting for young adults. The end result is a class that is motivating and SO much fun to participate in. You will learn more than you could ever imagine!
What will I actually learn in this class that could be of use to me?
Our students are most excited to learn about the entire toolkit of comfort measures for labor. We cover pain management techniques like massage, water immersion, upright birthing positions, acupressure, music therapy, and deep breathing, just to name a few. When labor starts, you and your partner will be ready!
Can’t I just educate myself online using search engines and videos?
A lot of that info you find online? It’s bad or inaccurate! The benefit of the Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class is that we curate all of the best, evidence-based information and get you and your partner engaged in the learning process.
Shouldn’t I just let the doctors and nurses tell me what to do?
Routine practices in some hospitals are still about 15 to 20 years behind the research, and there is a lot of pressure to conform to traditions that might not be in your best interests. We will teach you and your partner how to be your own advocate—a skill you can use for the rest of your life!
