My Empowered Childbirth Course

The truth is that we spend dozens of years, tons of money and enormous amounts of energy preparing for our jobs or roles as professionals...

However, for what is quite arguably THE most important job we have on the planet (raising the next generation of humans!) we do next to nothing...

maybe... read a couple books?

watch some youtube videos/documentaries?

take a free class at the hospital?

If you realize how absurd this seems, THIS is the birth course for you! Over the course of 6 comprehensive modules, this course covers everything from how to feel your best during pregnancy, the A-Z of birth, what to expect with your newborn, and even how to navigate changes in your own identity and in your relationship with your partner.

In short: this is WAY more than your typical "birth course" and it's all here for you in bite-sized (~15mins) videos, on a platform that you can access any time you want! If you're serious about having a positive and empowering birth experience, click below to join us.
