Meet your expert team
From our family, to your growing one.
Hello! We are Dr. Stephanie Zelembaba and Dr. Denise Handscomb — sisters, Naturopathic Doctors, mamas and co-owners of Abaton Integrative Medicine in Oakville. We saw the gap in prenatal and postpartum support for our patients. Prenatal courses are often only considered in late pregnancy, and you often don’t see your healthcare provider until you are at least 8 weeks pregnant — while many women have lots of questions before then.
Being mamas, we know how exciting and overwhelming this journey can be. Knowing where to turn for reliable, easy-to-access information can be difficult. Enter Your Natural Pregnancy Resource: a curated, trustworthy source for your prenatal questions.

What people are saying
I’m so happy I went with Abaton’s online Natural Pregnancy Resource class! It was extremely well laid out. I’m a second time mom that wanted a refresher — it was great to be able to pause and pick up whenever worked for my husband and I. I loved that it was designed by Naturopathic Doctors and had several additional guest experts like a pelvic floor physiotherapist, chiropractor and a lactation consultant which helped set this program apart. The course reignited my confidence during pregnancy, labour prep and postpartum. I highly recommend for anyone expecting!
This prenatal course was great. It covered so many topics at the right level of detail. Denise and Stephanie are professional, knowledgeable, and approachable in teaching you about all the elements that are important in prenatal and postnatal health. The extra sessions led by their team of supporting experts were also super helpful and a great addition to the course overall.
Having your first child can be a stressful experience. As a guy you’d like to be there as much as possible for your partner but it’s difficult to know what exactly to do. The Abaton pregnancy course has taken all of those worries away. Guiding through the entire pregnancy, birthing, and post-natal process I feel confident that I will be able to step up and be an asset to my wife during the entire process! Would highly recommend for any fathers-to-be.
As a first time mom, I wasn’t sure what course or resource to use to prepare for baby, and I’m so glad Dr. Stephanie recommended this course to me! Being able to do it on-demand and at my own pace made it so much easier to fit in around life before and after baby was born. I really appreciated all the expert perspectives that were included and found the information super helpful and reassuring. Such a great resource for expecting parents. Highly recommend!
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this as my only prenatal course?
Yes — the course covers everything you need for pregnancy, labour, and the first 6 weeks postpartum.
I live outside of Ontario, does this course still apply to me?
Yes — aside from the Ontario-specific healthcare-provider section, all content applies across North America (and most provider info is still relevant).
Can this course be covered under my Naturopathic benefits?
Unfortunately no — those benefits only apply to one-to-one patient care in your jurisdiction.
Can I take this course at any stage of pregnancy?
Yes! Whether you’re trying to conceive, in your first trimester, or well into your third trimester, you’ll find valuable information and guidance that applies to your current stage.
How long do I have access to the course materials?
18 months. Revisit whenever you need a refresher within that time.
Can my partner access the course too?
Definitely. One purchase grants household access so partners can learn alongside you.
What if I have a high-risk pregnancy?
Always follow your care provider’s medical advice first. The course offers information to support any pregnancy and recommendations can be adapted to your specific medical guidance.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes — a 30-day, no-questions-asked refund if the course doesn’t meet your needs.
Do you provide personal medical advice?
No. The course offers educational content only; always consult your own healthcare provider for individualized care.
