From “what do we even expect?” to feeling confident walking into birth. 🤎

At our final class, I asked this dad to reflect on what changed for him through the Uncovering Birth Foundations Birth Course.

His answers?

✨ Gaining knowledge on laboring at home
✨ Knowing what to expect when going to the hospital
✨ Having confidence to share what he’s learned with others
✨ Realizing, “You are in control of this entire situation.”

And THAT is what this work is about.

Not memorizing a perfect birth plan.
Not knowing exactly how your birth will unfold.

But gaining the knowledge, confidence, and awareness to meet birth with a deeper understanding of your options and your own ability to navigate the experience.

8 weeks. 8 modules. Real conversations. Practical tools. A whole lot of unlearning and remembering.

This is the Uncovering Birth Method — Foundations Birth Course. 🤎

Stay tuned for the next in-person cohort registration to open, or DM me if you’re interested in 1:1 private classes.

Not only to prepare moms for labor, but also to help birth partners feel informed, connected, confident, and ready for the journey ahead.

This time, you’re hearing directly from a male birth partner as he shares how Uncovering Birth helped him better understand pregnancy, birth, and the many ways he can support his partner.

Because childbirth education isn’t just for moms.

It’s for the person beside her—encouraging her, advocating for her, supporting her, and welcoming their baby into the world together.

Tune in to hear what this birth partner has to say about his experience with Uncovering Birth. 💙

This is why I teach Uncovering Birth Foundations. 🤍

Not just to prepare for labor, but to help couples feel more knowledgeable, connected, confident, and at peace throughout pregnancy.

This first-time mama shared how learning about movement, nutrition, stretching, exercise, her changing body, and how her partner can support her has completely changed her pregnancy experience.

And this part says it all:

“I seriously think any pregnant woman would agree with me and benefit from these classes.” 💗

Birth preparation can change the way you experience pregnancy, too.

What happens when birth education becomes more than information?

It changes how you show up for each other.

For this couple, it meant him stepping into his masculine, supporting her so she could soften into her feminine, and moving toward birth as a team. 🤍

There is something so special about being invited into a family’s birth story. 🤍

Getting to walk alongside this family through both childbirth education AND the birth of their daughter was such an honor.

This is exactly why I do what I do.

Not just to be another person in the room, but to help women and their partners feel informed, confident, supported, and deeply connected to their birth experience.

Thank you for trusting me with such a sacred part of your story. 🫶🏼

If you’re preparing for birth and want more than just a hospital birth class, I’d love to walk alongside you.

"Telling a woman to stop pushing, pant or 'give little pushes' distracts her at a crucial moment, and suggests that you are the expert in her birth, which you are not. She is the one with a baby's head in her va**na, so leave it to her. Of course, if you have been shouting at her to 'Puuuush' with every contraction before crowning - she will be listening to you, not her body, so you might need to tell her to stop."
