Are you ready to have the pregnancy and birth of your dreams?!

I’m assuming you said, Heck Yes!!

Having confidence in your body when it comes to your pregnancy and birth experience is key to having the experience you’re hoping for.

Being informed of your rights and your options when it comes to your body and your baby’s birth is a nonnegotiable for your journey.

This is so important for your mental and physical health. I know what you’re going through, I’ve been there 💫

If you’re a recovering or current people pleaser who never wants to make waves, or is always doing what you’re told because it’s “the norm” or what is expected of you and you feel your voice shake or even disappear when you’re trying to speak up for yourself.

I totally get you! As a recovering people pleaser, I always listened to my doctors because I thought I had to not because it’s what I necessarily wanted to do.

I thought my doctor knew me better than I knew myself, I thought they had my best interest at heart no matter what, I know that’s not always true.

I figured that out after I had the most transformative vaginal birth AFTER having 3 c-sections and going against the grain, going against what my doctors said, and following my intuition. ✨

I’m here to tell you that it’s possible to break through those barriers, I did it and YOU can too!

  • You CAN birth without fear

  • You CAN give birth confidently

  • You CAN trust your intuition

  • You CAN make the right decision for you and your baby

  • You CAN take charge of your birth

  • You already have the power inside of YOU to do this!

I believe in you, you can do this!

When you take care of yourself mentally and physically and stay informed, you will be calm, feel in control, and feel less or no fear towards this sacred time in your life!

I can help guide you along the way to having an instinctual and empowered pregnancy and birth.
