My husband: "You did it!"
Me: "I want to do that again!"
I never imagined that after my natural birth plan ended in an emergency c-section I would have such a beautiful and positive birth experience. I left my first birth experience traumatized thinking that my body failed me and that I would not be able to have the natural birth I desired but boy was I wrong!
Once I became pregnant again and chose to have a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) in a birth center, my eyes and mind were opened to just how strong and amazing my body was.
I learned so much about how to prepare my mind and body for something that I was created and designed to do - BIRTH MY BABY NATURALLY WITHOUT FEAR. I learned and was empowered through support and education that birth was beautiful and not this scary and painful experience so many people made it out to be.
After having the most beautiful and empowering birth experience, I learned that the biggest difference between my two births was not that my body was more capable - it was the education and support I received. I couldn't believe that I would be so excited to give birth and then be even more excited to give birth again once it was over.

Are you ready to have an empowered and fearless birth?
Let's get to WERK!
Mental Preparation
Birth is 80% Mental 20% Physical.
In order for you to have a positive and empowered birth experience, it is important that you prepare your mind to view birth in a beautiful and powerful way - working through the fears that exist and affirming your body to do what it was designed to do.
We will do that in this course.
Physical Preparation
Birth is like running a marathon - it takes training and preparation. Movement during labor can help you manage contractions and shorten your time in labor.
In this course, we will discuss how to prepare your body during pregnancy, positions to be in during labor, the best positions to push and how to breathe for a manageable labor experience.
Know Your Right & Options
One of keys to having a natural birth is to know your rights and options. How do you navigate the unknown, advocate for yourself and utilize all natural options to bring your baby earthside safely?
In this course, we will discuss your birthing options and rights in multiple environments, how to prepare for the unknown and how to reduce the need for any unnecessary interventions.
You will also receive my birth plan template to present to your provider after completing it.
