Built on a foundation of holistic midwifery specific to homebirth families who want to make their own choices in birth and are looking for accurate and reliable education so you feel prepared with the confidence of a midwife.

Packed with techniques from across time and cultures to awaken your intuition and instinct, you will have more than a list of comfort techniques, but an entire system that becomes so second nature you and your birth partner will embody the knowledge that extends beyond today's doulas.

Designed to empower your knowledge of all aspects of pregnancy and birth because your birth outcome is determined before you even go into labor, it starts in your prenatal care, so in this course you also learn how to take charge of your prenatal care so you set up your birth for success. 

And, your course will have a personalized touch after you and your birth partner take your birth assessments and learn your communication styles and how to best support each other through pregnancy, birth, and on the journey of parenting.

What makes an effective birth environment and why what you think you need might be wrong.

What to do to encourage your labor to start on time (without castor oil, dates, Pitocin or other things you don't want!).

The most important thing you need to understand to keep your birth in your control, and why not knowing this leaves your birth up to your care provider.

The communication techniques that will work in any birth situation to get you the answers you need.

The one thing your birth partner needs to know to be the support person you can depend on.

Don't want a status quo birth left to fate and the decisions of their providers.

Want to understand the birth cycle at a deep level that empowers them with knowledge beyond the traditional childbirth class.

Know that there is more to birth than hormones, breathing and stages of labor.

Want a class that sets them up for more than just a transformational birth experience; those who want to use the lessons of birth to become more conscientious and prepared parents.

Thought they were prepared after taking a childbirth class, reading the books, and researching online, but it wasn't enough.

Unknowingly set themselves up for failure by focusing on the wrong information.

Handed authority to their care provider without even knowing it.

Reached the end of their birth and their care providers didn't stick to the promises they made.

Were not prepared for unexpected problems that required interventions they were hoping to avoid and they didn't know how to navigate through them.

Didn't want to repeat the mistakes they made in their first birth.

You want to know every intervention that could come up during birth: I want you to be prepared for birth and have the best communication tools possible to navigate birth rather than worry you with every possible scenario that probably won't even happen if you really understand the true nature of birth, but again, if this is what you feel you want to learn, this class series is not for you.

You want someone to tell you what to do: There is not one way to birth, so there is no one thing I can tell you to do for a successful birth. Instead, approaching birth using your Natural Birth Compass and your Birth Vision will set you up to direct your birth experience and make autonomous choices the whole way through, but if you prefer to be directed, that's ok, but this isn't the course for you.

You don't want to explore yourself as part of your birth preparation: The experience of my students and the outcomes of their births has proven that those who know themselves, their strengths and challenges and how to appreciate them, use them, and prepare for them, have the most positive and empowered birth experiences. But, it's not everyone's cup of tea, if learning about yourself sounds dreadful to you, this course is not for you.
