Growing your family can be an overwhelming experience. Preparing for birth doesn't have to be!

We’re going to use our experience in both the obstetric and midwifery models of care to provide a holistic approach to birth education that’ll empower you to experience birth on your own terms

So, let’s agree to take the simple route and get you feeling all sorts of prepared, shall we?

Hopping into your hospital’s birth class may be a solution for some, but it’s rarely the best way to get ready for birth that doesn't follow the standard hospital protocols. You're probably here because you want things to be different for you, but let me tell ya, searching Pinterest and mom blogs for ‘birth tips’ can lead you down a rabbit hole that never ends. 

It’s time you step into a place of confidence in your unique design as a mama, and as a woman, so you’ll be ready to head into birth feeling empowered. We want to help you get there, and the process is simpler than you think!

If you really want to birth your baby your way (say, without medication or in an 'alternative' setting like your home), you need a birth class that's designed to prepare you for all that's ahead.

I really had no idea how much my body would take the wheel when it came to giving birth. I kept thinking it was up to me to push the baby out, and it came down to my strength alone to make this happen. Being taught that my biggest job was actually to surrender and allow my body do what it was designed to do was such a relief and assurance going into delivery.
