“I was so focused during my contractions, the nurse asked if I was hypno-birthing. I told her no... this is what I learned in your Strategies for Birth class and prenatal yoga. I truly feel it helped this day go more smoothly.”

“I am so glad I took this class. I heard a lot of bad stories about breastfeeding and doubted myself. This class cleared up so much misinformation and taught so much about how the body after birth. I learned a lot of practical tips and feel much calmer now and ready for my baby.”
Personal Birth Prep Consultation

Here’s what we will talk about:
Your options for labor (what they are, how they are beneficial for you and baby, and why you might choose them).
Questions to ask your medical provider before labor.
Why you SHOULD express your preferences to your birth team before labor (and how this helps you to “relax into” labor).
Why having birth preferences IS important even if labor does not go exactly as you envisioned it.
Any birth planning or labor questions you have.
This consultation is for pregnant women and their partners only.
Ideal time for this consultation is between 18 - 35 weeks

“ Having kids from a previous marriage, I honestly didn’t think there was anything new I could learn from taking a class. But I was wrong. Looking back, I don’t know if I could have been as present as I was for our labor without the guidance and information you gave. It was not an easy labor, one that could have easily ended as a cesarean, but we made it to the end with the natural birth that we hoped for because you helped us to understand our options. ”
“The principle of motherhood is as vast and powerful as the universe. With the power of motherhood within her, a woman can influence the entire world.”
“It is said that women in labor leave their bodies...they travel to the stars to collect the souls of their babies, and return to this world together.”
