Stepping into your birth doesn't have to feel scary

But for most women, it's still pretty scary.

As you think about your baby's birth and the unknowns and uncertainties that may come with it, you probably feel fear and anxiety you wish you didn’t. Many moms, in an effort to overcome their fears, go on a mad hunt for information to calm the nerves that come with these unknowns. Diving in, even just a little bit, makes you quickly realize that the plethora of information, the wide array of conflicting opinions, and the endless birth horror stories only create more tension.

Stepping into your birth experience doesn’t have to feel this way. As a trained and certified birth doula, I want to help you minimize your fears, equip you with the exact information you need, and help you step into birth with confidence and courage.

TOGETHER, WE HAVE THE POWER TO —

Tell a different
story about birth

It starts with us, as women, speaking life and hope into each other's birth experiences. It’s choosing to speak up and tell our empowering and beautiful birth stories, never shying away from it. We tell our beautiful stories until our voices are louder — louder than the negative, discouraging ones, louder than the horror birth stories, louder than the fears — so loud that we choose to step into birth with confidence and courage. By doing so, we declare to our medical system, to our support team, and to ourselves that birth is beautiful and empowering.

I asked my previous clients to impart some of their wisdom so I can pass it along to you. Each one of them would love to look you in the eyes and breathe reassurance into you throughout your pregnancy and as you step into birth. Read their stories and let them help you gain strength, confidence, and courage as you prepare for your own.

    “You're nervous and scared - yes, this is the biggest thing you've ever done! But this is part of the journey that will make you a mom, and it will be worth it. Trust your body and lean on your team. You are capable of so much more than you realize and every minute of labor and every day of being a mom will prove to you the depths of your heart and your strength.”

Ema provided my partner and me with calm support that was about us and our family and not from a strictly medical perspective.”

    Katie B. — 2021
