About the instructor

My name is Mabel Teerlink. I live in Salem, Utah with my husband and nearly-two-year-old daughter (baby girl #2 expected in late October!)

I’ve always loved babies, but when I was pregnant with my firstborn I became obsessed with learning about birth. I read everything I could get my hands on and took a childbirth class with my husband, which sparked a desire to teach my own class someday. All this preparation helped me have a positive unmedicated birthing experience in a hospital.

After my daughter was born, I continued my rigorous study of birth and created the Harmony Birth Class: an engaging blend of the best childbirth books, recent research findings, and real families’ experiences. I care deeply about the wellbeing of expecting parents and their babies and want to help them have the best possible beginning together.

I’d love to get to know you! Feel free to text me at 801-709-9440.
