Hi! Welcome to the Own Your Birth Program!

This program is for women who:

🤰want to have the best birth experience for themselves and their babies

🤰have taken birth courses but are still feeling unsure and uneasy about birth and postpartum

🤰are leaning towards a natural birth but have a lot of anxiety and fears that are holding them back from trying for a natural birth

🤰want guidance on communicating and advocating for the birth they want with their health providers ( i.e. what questions to ask, using the BRAIN model during pregnancy and beyond, etc.)

🤰want support to help them stay accountable with their nutrition, exercise, prep work during pregnancy

🤰would like to have a personalized plan of action to manage the pain in childbirth

🦋🦋 The OYB Program is a highly personalized 1:1 container. We’ll create a plan of action specifically tailored to your own Motherhood journey. We’ll dive into your thoughts and preferences to figure out a customized approach for your birth and postpartum experience.🦋🦋

In this container, you will:

👉Feel confident in your body’s ability to birth your baby so that you can minimize the stress and overwhelm before, during and after birth.

👉Release control and expectations without giving up your power so that you can confidently decide on which birth options are best for you during your birth.  

👉Create a safe space to birth by being confident and advocating for the birth you want so that you are able to focus on relaxing and letting your body do its thing to birth your baby.

👉Feel a deep sense of calm because you have prepared for the unpredictability of birth so that you can actually focus on meeting your baby and enjoy the motherhood journey before, during, and after birth.

We’ll work on:

🌿Those recurring thoughts that keep creeping in when you are trying to fall asleep like: “am I really ready to give birth?”, “what if I can’t cope with the pain?”, “am I going to be a good mom?”, “Am I missing anything?”, “what if something goes wrong?”, etc.

🌿creating a birth plan that includes all of your preferences even if the birth has to deviate from your “ideal birth” (i.e. transfer to the hospital, the use of synthetic oxytocin (pitocin), c-section, etc.)

🌿creating a postpartum plan so that you are able to truly rest and focus on bonding with your baby without having to worry about house chores, making meals, etc.

🌿Communicating your birth preferences with your healthcare provider so that you are supported in your decisions throughout the birth

🌿Communicating with your partner about how you want them to support you throughout your birth and postpartum

🌿Talking through your birth story after you’ve given birth to celebrate YOU.  

My ultimate goals for you are that

🌸You trust and honor your body and your instincts
🌸You connect with your body and baby throughout your birth and postpartum
🌸You have a calm and confident transition into motherhood
🌸You feel powerful AF  

🦋🦋All this so you can OWN YOUR BIRTH.🦋🦋

A bit about me and why this work matters:

When we bring our babies into this world, we also birth ourselves as mothers.

This transformative event is so important and I believe we should prepare as best as we can for it by investing our time and resources into making this rite of passage the best that it could be.

Around a third of women experience trauma while giving birth and one of the contributors to the trauma is our health providers actions and interactions with them.

I am a part of that statistic.

I experienced birth trauma with my first baby. I consented to having a cervical check done when I was 38 weeks and my OBGYN performed a membrane sweep without my consent during the cervical check. The night of the appointment, my waters broke and after a 24 hour labor at home, I ended up having to transfer to the hospital. Even though my baby and I were perfectly healthy, I still felt robbed of the home birth I had dreamed of. I felt violated. This experience really rocked my belief in my body’s ability to birth and in my own intuition.

For my next birth, I did everything in my power to prepare for my birth and I was able to have the water birth that I always dreamed of. This birthing experience also made for an easier recovery during postpartum, I was able to deeply bond with my baby, and felt amazing emotionally and physically.

I firmly believe that when we are informed in the physiology of birth, informed of our rights, and we feel confident to advocate for our birth preferences, we can highly increase our chances of having a better birth outcome for us and our babies.

🌿🌿I want this for you!🌿🌿
