Meet your Birth Boot Camp® Instructors

Our instructors are trained and certified to teach an AMAZING curriculum that is evidence-based, frequently updated, and packaged into a beautiful workbook! Unlike other childbirth education classes that are "method" based, Birth Boot Camp®​ offers valuable information and tools to best prepare you for birth however it unfolds. You will be well equipped to make informed decisions best for you and your family regarding possible interventions, differing birth scenarios, newborn procedures, hands on comfort measure techniques, and so much more. One of the most wonderful bonuses to hiring a Birth Boot Camp®​ Instructor is that they work closely with Birth Boot Camp® doulas in hopes to provide seamless educational, emotional, and physical support.

Please make note that each instructor listed below practices under their own business; meaning fees, classes, and additional credentials may vary.

Samantha Martin
Teaching in Maple Grove and Virtually

Hello! My name is Samantha, owner of Doula Mae Birth Services. I have been a Doula since May 2016 and am happily dual trained and certified with Birth Boot Camp® as a Doula and Instructor. Since becoming a Doula I have become more knowledgeable in topics such as Spinning Babies, placenta encapsulation, lactation, and continue my education yearly.

As a childbirth educator I strive to provide evidence backed education, unbiased support, and confidence to empower families during their journey into parenthood. My goal is to help shape pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences into a positive and memorable life event. 

Fun Fact: I am the oldest of six children and have yet to grow my family, but have a beautiful white and cinnamon pit-bull named Sadie who is eight. 

I'm excited to meet you and so happy to be fulfilling my passion in supporting growing families. ​

Melissa Kosloski
Teaching in St. Cloud and Virtually

My name is Melissa Kosloski and I was born and raised in Central Minnesota, which I continue to call home with my wonderful husband, and our three boys. While my pregnancies have been relatively uneventful, the births of my sons were very different. My first was born in the hospital, after an induction, many interventions and pain medication, and eventually a cesarean section. With my second son, I did some things very differently. I hired a doula, saw a Webster certified chiropractor, and found midwives to support me. His birth was beautifully healing for me, and he was born at home, in the water, and into my arms. My third son was also born at home.

My varying experiences in birth led me to find my passion! I recognized a need in my area for more choices for pregnant and birthing people, as well as more opportunities for support and education. I now teach Birth Boot Camp® childbirth education classes in the St. Cloud, MN area, as well as support birthing people during labor and birth as a Birth Boot Camp DOULA.
​
I am passionate about helping families, as they navigate this amazing and life changing time in their life. It is my honor to offer my Support With Education, Love, & Laughter. I want to help you to have a SWELL Birth!!
