planning natural birth often looks like this: 

  • Reading books and more books

  • Binging podcasts

  • Watching birth video after birth video

  • Scrolling your favorite social media birth accounts every day

you know a lot about birth....
 
....and you still have fears of the unknown aspects of birth

you've probably been told these fears are normal, that the unknowns of birth are out of your control, and the best thing you can do is be flexible
 

But what if i told you it was possible to transform fear of the unknown into excitement for the unknown?
 
What if i told you that this transformation is the key to a peaceful birth experience?
 

"What I thought might be possible now feels like it is my birth rite: to access my intuition and Inner Wise Woman as I navigate the waters of pregnancy. With this connection, I can now move forward through my pregnancy with greater confidence and without fear." ~Cassie

while it is common to have fear of surrendering to the unknown, surrender is exactly what is needed in natural birth 
 
but surrender is not a loss of control, it's the result of having control

 
Being in control of your birth creates the freedom to surrender to the flow of your birth
 
Being in control of your birth begins by being in control of your prenatal care

You can feel confident in taking charge of your prenatal care with three essential tools:
 

  • Well-rounded pregnancy & birth education

  • Mind-body preparation

  • Communication strategies

These three tools come together in the Natural Birth Compass Prenatal wellness program

This program is a compilation of 15 years of birthwork influenced by Eastern and Western practices built on a foundation of:

 

  • Blending modern science and the wisdom of the nature of physiologic pregnancy and birth to bring knowledge and peace to your mind

  • Movement awareness exercises based on ancient Qi Gong techniques adapted for pregnancy to bring comfort and peace to your body

  • Breathwork, meditative hypnosis and a unique approach to communication strategies to unlock your subconscious and bring peace to your spirit

the tools in the Natural Birth Compass Program Prenatal Wellness Program will help you:

  • Get crystal clear on your desires for your birth and feel confident communicating those desires with your birth team

  • Understand the natural physiology of birth so well you know how to prevent unnecessary interventions & complications

  • Attune to your core and pelvic floor so you can reduce your risk of tearing by 90% or more

  • Create a weekly routine that increases your relaxation and energy for a more comfortable pregnancy and birth experience

  • Actually believe in your body's ability to give birth naturally

client experiences of Natural Birth compass Program offerings:

"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

it's easy to fall down the rabbit hole of research looking for answers, so If you've had questions like:

  • Do I need an ultrasound?

  • What does this lab work mean?

  • Which testing is really necessary?

  • Do I need to take extra iron?

  • Do I need a birth plan?

  • Should I test for gestational diabetes and Group B strep?

  • What do I do if I'm Rh-? Is Rhogam my only option and is it safe?

  • Does my baby really need antibiotics and vitamin K?

  • What are the best positions to give birth in?

  • How will I know if I'm in labor?

  • What are the best comfort techniques? Hypnosis? Acupressure? Birth balls?

  • How do I avoid tearing?

  • How long should I wait to cut the cord?

  • What if I need an intervention?

  • Do I need a doula?

Then the Natural Birth Compass Prenatal Wellness Program is for you!

 "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

Plus, when you enroll in the prenatal wellness program, you get access to the most in-depth physiologic birth course there is

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. 

This is why even birth professionals come to the Natural Birth Compass Program when they are preparing for birth!

frequently asked questions

How do I access the material?

The core material is delivered via online video and downloads through our secure student site. Over the duration of your course, you will have multiple opportunities to join group or one-on-one online coaching sessions to get your questions answered. Additionally, you have access to our birth experts over email so you don't have to worry about missing the answers to anything.

What if I have a busy schedule or my due date is close?

That's ok! This program is on-demand so you can go at your own pace. You have access to the material when you need it and where you need it, so you can prepare anytime. There is a lot of material in this course, and there are several pathways through the material to ensure you get as much or as little as you need for your unique birth. Some families work through the essential material in about 14-days, but to really take advantage of all that this program provides, the most benefit is found by allowing 3-4 months, or even more for a full immersion experience. For those with a significant time crunch (aka, I'm due any day!), the Birth Partner Module contains a list of the most critical materials and can be used as a crash course. 

How can I learn about the experience of childbirth online?

The Natural Birth Compass Program is a certified Experience Product®, that means everything we deliver in your course will have your experience in mind. I am confident that the material will exceed your expectations while creating an unforgettable experience, but what is most important is that you feel prepared and illuminated for your birth.

Will this class help me if I am planning a hospital birth?

This program has been created around the experience of birth center & homebirth, however, learning about the layers of your Natural Birth Compass will be a great investment in your childbirth preparation for any birth place. The only pre-requisite is that you must want to be confident in your ability to give birth and be in control of the process so that you can achieve the best outcome possible. 

Will this class help me if I am having twins?

I don't specifically cover the unique situation of twin pregnancy and birth at this time, but I have had twin parents use this program to prepare for beautiful twin waterbirths. There are some unique aspects to twins, such as nutrition and the unique way they can experience birth, but much of the preparation beyond is the same and I am happy to talk with you about your questions or concerns before you enroll to be sure this program is suitable for you and along the way as you prepare with the Natural Birth Compass Program material.

How long do I have access to the course material?

Your access to the course material is active for the life of the course, so you can review the postpartum material when you need it most or come back to review if you find yourself expecting another little one in the future. 

How long have you been teaching?

I have been a certified childbirth educator for over a decade, and am also a holistic doula, a prenatal acupuncturist, herbalist, and nutritionist, a certified breathwork instructor, and have training in holistic midwifery from The Matrona in order to bring an advanced level of knowledge to this program beyond your average childbirth preparation classes. I have attended home births and hospital births, and have worked with hundreds of families in their tranformation to parents. I am prepared to help you answer any question so you have the most current information available without having to spend hours on the internet.

You will benefit from this program if you want to be prepared for:

 

  • A calm and peaceful undisturbed birth

  • Confidently and comfortably surrendering to the flow of labor and birth while being in control of your birth

  • Trusting your body to safely birth your baby

  • Feeling more relaxed and comfortable for the duration of pregnancy

  • Avoiding stress-related complications in pregnancy and birth

 

If any of these sound like reasons you chose natural birth, then I can't wait to meet you inside the prenatal wellness program!
