Upcoming Workshop: BIRTH AT HOME
Holistic birth preparation, understanding birth as a rite of passage.
If you are planning to birth in the safety and comfort of your home, or are undecided and hoping to learn more about homebirth, this workshop is for you! We will explore physiological mammalian birth and how to support your body’s innate knowing to birth. You will learn how to create an optimal birth environment and team to support your birthing process. Deepening your connection to your baby and your instincts to birth, you will gain clarity on your dream birth and how to support this vision.
This workshop is for partners/support people too! We will gather virtually on zoom for a second session, welcoming both birthing people and their partners/support people! You will learn about the safety of homebirth, how to support your birthing person physically and emotionally, and practical tools to birth at home.
Pregnancy is a time for connection, both with your community, and with yourself (and baby!). We are meant to feel supported and inspired by those around us, and uplifted in our vision to birth! If you are looking for a space to deepen your connections, foster trust in your body’s capabilities, and be celebrated as you journey towards your birth, I hope you will join us!
*Please note, this workshop does not replace the learning of a full prenatal course. Our focus here will be doing the deep personal work and exploration to prepare for the transformative, spiritual rite of passage that is birth and parenthood. I would also suggest taking a prenatal course! I highly recommend Dancing Star Birth, My Powerful Birth, and Any Day Now Birth Services, with in-person and online offerings.

Fear Release sessions
1:1 sessions virtual or in-person
Are you pregnant or wanting to have a child in the future?
Do you fear birth?
Are you carrying stories from your own birth, previous births, your mothers, sisters, family, friends experiences and feeling heavy with distrust of your body, and fear of birth?
Releasing fear and rewriting your narrative around birth takes time and a lot of work - it's never too late to start, but it's also never too early. This takes deep work to delve into the unseen, unheard parts of ourselves, to unearth what we believe, what serves us and what doesn't. Setting ourselves free of past trauma, intergenerational trauma, even from our own births as we entered the world. Entering pregnancy and birth from a place of openness, curiosity for the process and about your body’s incredible capacities to grow and birth life, moving with freedom and authority through this transformational experience. This is what I wish for all birthing people.
Do you want to step into your pregnancy and birth with confidence, clarity and authority?
I would love to connect!
Pleasure in Birth
1:1 sessions virtual or in-person
Yes, birth can be pleasurable! For some it can be the highest form of ecstasy. Birth and pleasure are inextricably linked. Afterall, for most people, pleasure was how a baby was made. The same hormones that flow in sex and orgasm are what is released during birth. Why would it not be pleasurable if oxytocin, the hormone of love and all things pleasure, is the driving force of birth?
Birthing sensations are energy, often the most intense energy we can experience in our bodies. But this intensity does not have to mean suffering and pain. It can be painful, intense, and also pleasurable and transcendent all at the same time. When we remove fear as the guiding force of our birth process we can make space for deep connection to our bodies, and our innate wisdom to birth (that we all have). We can move out of our heads and into our bodies, where birth happens (we birth with our pelvis, our womb not our heads!). When we can flow with the intense sensations - and move with this powerful energy to give us pleasure - birth can be the most enjoyable and powerful experience of our lives! I have personally experienced this unearthly, wild and joyous birthing power that now lives inside me always. I would love to share this unlearning, unravelling and opening to others who are keen to explore this for themselves.

Claim Your Power
1:1 sessions virtual or in-person
Do you feel like you are riding a conveyor belt towards your birth, and do not have a voice in your own experience? Get clear on what matters to you and learn how to speak and own what you want. Be supported in taking action towards reclaiming your autonomy and power in your pregnancy and birth. Know your options and create the birth experience of your dreams. Your birth is yours. Birthing in your power is your birthright.
In our session together, we will discuss whatever is going on for you in your pregnancy and birth preparation. What is it you truly want and what is holding you back from making this happen? Are you being guided by external voices (care provider, partner, friends, family) rather than following your own inner voice? Maybe you don’t even know what it is you want yet, but something just feels off and you want to take the reins back in your pregnancy and birth. Be supported in navigating discussions with your care provider so that you can speak with confidence and clarity about your choices.
Rather than hoping things go your way, let’s work together to set you up to experience the birth you truly want. Take responsibility for your birth - claim your power!
