"I have been having a lot of anxiety around getting ready for my first baby to come earth side as well as feeling overwhelmed with other things in my life. The Inner Wise Woman course made me feel instantly more confident and empowered. All worries and stress went away and I knew that I will be able to give birth at home without needing anyone but myself. The course was honestly my favorite one I’ve taken so far and I really enjoyed listening to the encouragement and empowering lessons. Thank you!" ~Brittany

"I was much more at ease and more emotionally prepared. I felt like I knew what to expect every step of the birth and prepared to take on any challenges thrown my way. That gave me confidence and peace of mind... I was interested to see how focused I became during my labor and my reliance on the compass cycle for recovering for the next contraction." ~Jen

 "This course was a gentle and beautiful reminder that most women today are living within an unnatural timeline invented by a modern society that does not cherish or respect the phases of life that we all inevitably experience. I loved it! Again, you are sharing wisdom and insight that is so needed by so many women today." ~Sarah

I have always intuitively trusted birth, but when I started teaching families, I wanted to offer the wisdom of why we can trust birth. After years of only finding standard physiologic birth training about hormones, stages of labor, and routine interventions, I knew there was something missing, something that would explain what our ancestors knew beyond the externally defined stages of labor that are only useful to give feedback to doctors and midwives, not a woman immersed in the subconscious experience of labor.

I found the first half of what I was looking for when I studied with my mentor of Chinese medicine nearly a decade ago. Then, 10 years later, I found my way to year-long, intensive midwifery immersion course with the best midwife I know, and from this wise woman, I found the other half of my answers. Now I offer you a midwife's traditional knowledge infused with Eastern medicine philosophy to form what I feel is the most complete understanding of physiologic birth for expecting parents.

The way I teach physiologic birth allows the knowledge to become a part of you, so you don't need to memorize any physiology or disrupt your labor with critical thinking to recall what you learned. You will leave this aspect of the program feeling so confident in the instincts of your body and baby and the intuition of your subconscious as the remarkable images of birth used in the program leave a beautiful visual imprint without memorization.
