If you were planning for the greatest climb of your life, would you stop at just finding a great mountain guide or would you also prepare for your trip? Would you want your guide to carry you to the top or would you want a level of confidence to take the climb yourself, to feel the satisfaction of reaching the top on your own, to enjoy the view knowing you had the strength to reach the peak? Would you want to take the journey you were destined to take instead of following a guide?
A great midwife is a benefit for homebirth, and like a mountain guide, she carries supplies and knowledge, but she should not lead your journey. Only you know your strengths, limits, and why you are on this journey. It takes knowledge and confidence, which you can find in the Wise Woman Traditions, practices used for generations before us, that support the quiet resurgence of family-led homebirth we see today.
Even if you can't make it to the live class, you will have access to the recordings, but only if you register to join!
I have been supporting families through their prenatal and birth experience as a childbirth educator and prenatal acupuncturist for over a decade, and what I see over and over again, is that we are missing a core foundation to childbirth preparation - understanding YOURSELF & the cycles of nature that occur around us everyday and teach us about ourselves and birth!
Most childbirth education classes focus on birth itself - the anatomy and physiology, comfort techniques, and interventions, but without knowing how to apply this information to your birth, it doesn't prepare you for the most difficult parts of birth, the challenges of communication, of facing your fears about birth, and preparing for the unknowns that can be inherent to birth.
I put together this new class to explore the aspects of YOU that you will bring to your birth and how to use that clarity to give you strength while building trust in your body and your own insincts for your birth.
I can't wait to see you there!
