My Story

I gave birth at home. No doctor, no midwife. Just my husband and me.

Before you decide that sounds crazy, you should know I started out exactly where you might be right now. Pregnant, researching everything, and quietly afraid.

The deeper I went, the more I realized the fear I was carrying wasn't mine. It was handed to me. Somewhere along the way, we stopped being told what our bodies were designed to do.

So I prepared differently. I did the mindset work. I learned what birth actually looks like when nobody is rushing it. And when the day came, I brought my son into the world in my own home, unmedicated and unassisted, feeling more powerful than I have ever felt in my life.

I'm not here to tell you to do what I did. I'm here because you deserve the whole conversation, not just the half you've been given. Whatever birth you're planning, hospital, home, or somewhere in between, you can walk into it prepared and unafraid.

Work With Me

You don't have to do this part alone.

Reading and researching will get you far. But at some point, most women want one person who's actually been there. Someone to talk to after the appointment that didn't go how you hoped. Someone who won't hand your fear back to you.

That's what I do. I walk with women through pregnancy and birth prep, virtually, from wherever you are in the world.

The first call is free. Thirty minutes, just us, talking about the birth you want and what kind of support would actually help. Where it goes from there is up to you.

Common Questions

Questions you might be sitting with

Is it normal to be this scared of giving birth?

Yes. And it's not because something is wrong with you. Most of us grew up seeing birth shown as an emergency, so of course it feels terrifying before we've lived it ourselves. The fear is real. It's just not originally yours, it got handed to you somewhere along the way. That part you can actually work with.

How painful is labor, really?

It's real work, there's no getting around that. But pain isn't the whole story either. A lot of what makes labor feel unbearable is fear and tension, not just the sensation itself. When your body feels safe, it opens differently. That's not a promise it'll be easy. It's a promise it's more workable than the version we've all been shown.

Do I actually need a birth plan?

You need clarity more than you need a document nobody reads once labor starts. Know what matters to you, know your options, and know you're allowed to change your mind in the moment. That's the real plan, the paper is just where you write it down.

Epidural or no epidural, how do I even decide?

Neither choice makes you a better mother. This is genuinely personal, and it deserves more than a quick answer here. What actually helps is knowing the real risks and benefits on both sides, epidural and unmedicated, not just the ones you've already heard, then deciding from information instead of fear.

How will I know when labor is actually starting?

Your body tells you, and it's usually a lot less dramatic than the movies make it look. It's rarely one clear moment, more like your body handing you clues one at a time. Learning to trust those clues, instead of waiting for a movie-style contraction to convince you, is most of the battle.

What actually matters when it comes to getting ready?

A lot less than the checklists floating around Pinterest. What actually helps isn't something you buy, it's the mindset work, the breathwork, and knowing your options going in. That's the kind of ready that holds up once you're actually in it.

Your body has known how to do this since before you started worrying about it.

If something in you already believes that, even a little, come find out what's on the other side of the fear.
