(one-to-one Antenatal Session)

​

Birth is a mysterious and wild ride, and there are things that cannot be controlled.  However, preparing mentally and physically can certainly help.  As a Childbirth Educator, my role is to ensure you have all the information  and support you need throughout this sacred journey of pregnancy and birth.  I will guide you through the maze of options and choices out there so that you can make the decisions that are right for YOU.  I will listen to you in an unbiased way and support whatever choices you make.  My wish is for  you to have a clear understanding of the birth process so that you can feel empowered and less fearful of the journey.  The more informed you are about knowing your options, your rights, optimal birthing conditions, and making clear plans for every eventuality, the more likely you will have the birth you want.

​

The purpose of my birth preparation sessions is to prepare mothers to give birth-in-awareness, not to achieve specific birth outcomes.  My 3 hour Antenatal Session (in the comfort of your own home) will cover the following – but can also be tailored to specific needs:
