The Expat Birth Academy

Helping expat families navigate the nuances of birth abroad through increasing access to education, connecting them to resources, fostering community, and empowering them through coaching.

Donation Based Work

Since starting in 2020, my biggest desire has been to support families living cross-culturally so that they have the tools they need to thrive in the perinatal period. I feel strongly that these services should be available to all families regardless of budget.

Beginning in September of 2022, The Global Birth Coach is switching to strictly donations based work. Whether you donate to simply support the work or are able to give after utilizing services, all donations will be used to cover administrative costs (website, domain, etc.) or special projects (filming and editing support).

All money given is tax deductible. The Global Birth Coach is a ministry under Concilium, a religious, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, wholly committed to the Great Commission.

My Story

Hi! My name is Chandler Gilow and I am so glad you are here. I am a wife, mom of two little girls, a registered nurse, and a Lactation Specialist. After giving birth to our second daughter while abroad (in the middle of language learning), I saw a hole in the support for expat families. My husband and I are currently stateside for education and in this season, I have launch The Global Birth Coach. Since May 2020 I have created content and gathered resources to empower expat families through community, resources, and education. Please check out the website, join us on the Virtual Village Facebook group, and hop over to The Expat Birth Podcast to hear birth stories from around the world. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email me (link at the top of the page).

Two Core Classes

The Global Birth Coach began with the main idea to create perinatal education specifically nuanced for expats that was easily accessible. Out of that desire, The Expat Birth Class and Infant Feeding Class were born.
