Pre-Childbirth Coaching
My goal, as your Pre-Childbirth Coach, is not to pressure you to take on any particular birthing method, but to guide you out of fear and into self-confidence. When you adopt powerful self-belief, you will advocate for yourself and your baby, lean into the natural process that childbirth is, confidently ask for assistance as needed, and deepen your bond with your partner.
An Empowered Mother
is bold,
courageous
and resilient!
Pre-Childbirth Coaching offers expectant mothers the opportunity to face their fears, delve into expectations and pressure, and clarify their partners' role well before the birth.

Why I'm passionate about Pre-Childbirth Coaching...
The births of my six children were different from each other, but also had some similarities:
All were hospital births.
All were vaginal deliveries.
None included pain medications.
All included my husband, Neal, as my birth partner.
All heavily relied on my inner dialogue of positive self-talk and self-encouragement.
Childbirth is not meant to be controlled,
but rather to be leaned into and cooperated with.
With my compassionate coaching, you can confidently participate in this beautiful process of bringing your precious baby into the world.
It begins with YOU believing in YOURSELF.
You are capable. You are strong. You are AMAZING!
Motherhood
is profound.
The guidance that you receive from me in our private coaching calls is not only for during labor and delivery ... it's a set of tools, techniques, principles and skills that you can take with you into your parenting journey, as well as into all aspects of your life!
Discover your power.
Discover YOURSELF.
I can't wait to meet you!
