Whatever your ideal birthing experience, our goal is to honor your wishes for an empowered birth with medical interventions only when truly necessary. Our goal is to empower with education, strength-based techniques, and encourage a positive life experience before, during and after your birth journey.
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Here are some truths that we live by as we help guide individuals through their beautiful pregnancy
- Birth is not a medical procedure
- Pregnancy and birth is not something to “get through”
- The process can be a highly transformative, empowering and spiritual experience.
- It is one of bonding and sacred connecting- with your baby, with yourself, and with your partner.
- It teaches you lessons of patience, gratitude, and understanding.
- It allows one to tackle fears, break generational patterns, challenges ways you interact with others and encourages letting go of some control.
- Pregnancy and birth is beautiful and magical.
- And sometimes … Pregnancy and birth can feel triggering, disempowering, fear-based, isolating and traumatic.
****PLEASE NOTE:
Wherever you are on your pregnancy journey, whichever type of birth you wish you to have, and whatever you need, we are happy to customize our offerings to tailor your needs. Some offerings are also covered by insurance and we are happy to verify coverage before sessions begin.
Perhaps you want a more sacred & connected birth journey
If you have ever...
- Gone to the doctors office and felt like just a number
- Were given procedures and forced into standard of care practices without any explanation or discussion
- Experienced “white coat syndrome” and feared questioning the doctors
- Had a previous birth where you felt that so many things were outside of your control…that it could’ve/should've been different …that left you feeling fragile, fearful and alone
- Have you felt that your partner was ignored (do doctors think they’re invisible??)
- Felt sad, disheartened, angry, frustrated about your previous birth experiences
- Felt fearful around pregnancy and birth (it does not help to hear “horror” stories from other women in our lives!)
- Have experienced non-event grief such as struggles around fertility and/or previous miscarriage - our programs dive into deep inner grief work, in a supportive community setting with providers and other families journeying together
