Supporting Neurodivergent Families in Childbirth Education: Inclusive Practices That Elevate Learning

Alix is a perinatal support professional, doula, and educator who specializes in neuro-affirming, inclusive care for pregnant and postpartum families. Her work focuses on bridging the gap between perinatal education and neurodiversity, helping childbirth educators and birth professionals better understand how learning, sensory processing, communication, and nervous system regulation can shape a family’s experience of pregnancy, birth, and early parenting.

With extensive experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum adjustment, Alix brings a practice-based, evidence-informed perspective to professional education. She is particularly known for translating complex concepts — such as sensory overload, cognitive processing differences, and stress responses — into clear, practical frameworks that educators can integrate into their teaching without overhauling existing curricula.

Alix regularly provides training, workshops, and professional education for doulas, childbirth educators, and perinatal care providers on topics including supporting neurodivergent families, creating accessible learning environments, and using inclusive, autonomy-supportive language in perinatal education. Her approach emphasizes real-world application, ethical care, and strategies that reduce overwhelm for both educators and families.
