I know you've heard it:
"It's natural."
"It's instinctive."
Breastfeeding IS amazing - and I'm thrilled you want to do it! But I want you to have the full conversation about it. I want you to have education that combines instinct and reality, learning and nature's design. I want you to be able to handle every high + low, so you feel confident, strong, and sure as you two do this together. All of that is here, for you.
Your story doesn't stop when that baby is in your arms - really, it's only getting started. You're going to have 10,000 questions about your postpartum body and that baby in your house - because I sure did and I'm an RN who already "knew it all."
This doesn't have to be confusing. You can know what you're doing. You can have everything I know, as RN and mama - and take that into your own home. This is how.
Beautiful, empowered birth can happen anytime and for anyone. Your body (and your baby's) were designed to do this together, and I know that you can. I've seen all stories and I've lived 4 of my own - and I am entirely comfortable telling you that the non-stop negative narratives are not the only ones. There are good, positive, birth stories (hospital included) - and this course is going to teach you that exact truth.
I've been in thousands of births, and anything you need to know is right here!
THE TRUTH: Hopsital childbirth classes just aren't enough. Your OB doesn't have time to walk you through your 4th trimester. That lactation consultant has 12 other mamas to see before they discharge. Your pediatrician isn't around to answer all of your questions. You deserve to know more than what they'll teach you. It's your right to actively participate in every single part of this story with CONFIDENCE + JOY.

It's okay to be nervous. It's okay to not be entirely sure how this is all going to work out. But don't stop there. Lean into all of that. Let's get at the heart of your fears or your nerves and turn all of that hesitancy into strength. Learn what is true about birth, what postpartum actually looks like, what it means to bring a baby home and know what to do with them - and then take those truths into your story and feel incredibly confident (no matter what comes).
Welcome to my world, where you're no longer the mom saying "I wish it would have gone differently" and instead you're the mom saying "let me tell you why it's all gone so well."
Choose your course and let's get started!

Let's discuss...The narratives about cesarean birth are always really negative. A lot of people make it seem like cesarean birth is one you have no control over. You've seen beautiful cesarean videos, but aren't sure how to chase your own. You're discouraged by the nonstop rhetoric about cesarean birth being a place where all of your empowerment is lost?
ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
What if I told you that we could flip all those narratives? That you can love your birth, you can have a huge voice in it, and you be ready for + familiar with all the parts of the process? You can - and this guide is going to do that for you.

Do you find yourself constantly wondering why the narratives about birth without drugs are always so negative? Are the people who are in your ear saying “don't do it," or “you're crazy” or “you just wait” far louder than the ones saying “heck yes, you can!?” Do you feel discouraged by the nonstop rhetoric about hospital birth being a place all empowerment is lost?
I SEE YOU, FRIEND — AND I KNOW WHAT IS TRUE....
Unmedicated, empowered birth can happen anytime and for anyone. Your body (and your baby's) were designed to do this together, and I know that you can. I've seen all stories and I've lived 4 of my own - and I am entirely comfortable telling you that the non-stop negative narratives are not the only ones. There are good, positive, no epidural birth stories - and this guide is going to teach you how to have one.

So you've got a birth partner...and they're nervous? Excited? Scared? Want to help but have no idea how? Or maybe you're saying - "yep, they're all of the above!" That's great, because I've got a guide for them that will teach them:
- How to show up in pregnancy, birth and postpartum
- What questions to ask and where their presence is needed
- What your body is doing, why it matters, and what they can do to help the whole thing move along
- Choices, alternatives and options you may want to choose.- AND what each of those mean for them
- To believe that this is safe, normal, natural = and that their presence is SO needed.
IMO, your birth partner has a lot to learn - but they are MORE than capable of knowing what's what and using it to show up SO well for you. Let's go!
