Did you know that childbirth can be enjoyable?
Yup! You heard me right. You can look forward to the birth of your baby with joyful anticipation!
Honestly, you've been LIED to! The media portrays birth as a horrific and gruesome experience. Filled with intense pain, ample drama, and loads of screaming. Why? Because drama and fear sell! What if I told you that there was another way, a BETTER way?
Childbirth does NOT have to be unbearably painful or filled with fear.
Childbirth CAN be joyful, beautiful, and transformational.
Your body was MADE to birth your baby. Every single baby is a BLESSING.
HOW can childbirth be joyful, beautiful, and transformational? What if I have a low-pain tolerance?
Together, we will unravel the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome coined by Obstetrician Dr. Grantly Dick-Read. This is the first step to enjoying your baby's birth!
Understanding how fear (anxiety, worry, trauma) leads to unnecessary tension in the body, which then causes PAIN is pivotal to preventing suffering during labor.
Once you are able to let go of all of your fears and worries, you can have a JOYFUL birth experience. A birth that you will truly look forward to!
THIS is how childbirth is SUPPOSED to be.
Here's why my Self-Paced Childbirth Course is WORTH IT!
The traditional childbirth courses taught in a hospital or community setting do NOT adequately prepare you to birth your baby with confidence. They do NOT teach you how to actually enjoy your childbirth experience. Lamaze and the Bradley Method are the primary methods taught. While these methods can offer some benefit, they are out of date, set you up for birthing only in the hospital system, and do NOT show you how to release your fears.
Believe Me
I used to teach these courses when I worked as a labor and delivery nurse in the hospital.
What the Self-Paced Childbirth Course offers YOU:
This course is DIFFERENT than traditional childbirth courses. I am a former labor and delivery nurse that came from the hospital system and turned into a holistic doula. These experiences have given me specific insight into how to birth within the hospital system, as well as outside of the hospital system. Not all childbirth educators have knowledge of BOTH birth worlds. You CAN birth:
in the hospital without pain medication
in the hospital with pain medication and intervention
with a scheduled c-section
at home with a midwife
in a birth center
honestly, wherever you feel the SAFEST and the most COMFORTABLE!
This is one of the things that sets this birth course apart from others!
You will be given instruction on how to birth with whatever method, and wherever, you feel the safest and most comfortable.
