Module 2
Learn about your birth preferences.
Some of the worst providers say "don't make a plan, you'll jinx it." Such nonsense!
Making a list of how you want to be treated and how you want your baby to be treated is not a jinx. It's a chance to educate yourself and explain how you want to be respected in your birth. It's a way to lay it all out so you don't have to keep explaining or defending when you should be focused on your birth.
I'll help you make a clear and solid list with a template that is easy to read and understand for your birthing day.

Learn about birth from a Holistic Birth Workers perspective
I attend births as a virtual birth coach and formally, I assisted as an in-person doula and have seen the ways families can easily not be educated on their changing bodies by their providers.
There's just not enough time in those quick check-ins. Learn about birth encouragingly and positively so you go in labor knowing where the journey can possibly take you so that you can be prepared and educated on your options.
I will provide handouts for you to prepare a binder just for your hospital bag and let you know the things to pack and the things to keep at home. No need to bring useless things! You'll have evidence-based information about the stages of labor and the interventions that can be introduced. Learn how to use B.R.A.I.N.S to make informed collaboration with your birth team.
Book a class.
We meet for two 4-hour sessions. At the completion of this class, you will know what is normal in birth so you know what to expect in birth and postpartum so you can feel prepared and confident! Get real-time answers and learn from someone who understands births' needs and can help guide you on your path. This is a comprehensive birth prep course and goes through all of your options and rights at your birth.
