Get to know our educator, Teresa Estilow! Located in Phoenix, AZ.

Q: Why are you a birthworker?

A: You often hear it takes a village to be a parent, but not everyone comes equipped with their own support system.  I feel it is important to create safe spaces for parents to ask for help while making sure that help is truly accessible.

Q: What are some of your other passions?

A: Evolving as a person and parent, building deeper connections with friends, hiking/camping, and volleyball.

Q: What's one piece of advice you'd like to share with expecting parents?

A: Plan for postpartum!  It is ok to feel multiple feelings at once about parenthood, especially the newborn phase.  Mindful rest does not always mean sleep.

Q: What's one baby item you recommend to everyone?

A: A meal train/meap prep plan

Q: Is there a motto or philosophy that guides your life?

A: There is strength in asking for help.

Q: What is something we wouldn’t know by looking at you?

A: I have an extensive sneaker collection.

Q: If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

A: Sade - The Best of Sade
