Every woman’s birth story is a unique tapestry, and I’m here to help you weave yours. I want you to understand what you’re saying “yes” to and what you’re saying “no” to. Birth is not about rejecting modern medicine; it’s about embracing the choices that resonate with you and making informed decisions that align with your values.
As a mother of two adventurous boys, I live and breathe birth. I’ve experienced the awe and intensity of childbirth firsthand. My first journey was an induction in a hospital, where I welcomed my 4.6 kg baby into the world without pain relief. My second birth taught me how to grieve and understand not all pregnancy’s progress to holding your baby in your arms. My heart and emails are always open to anyone going through the same thing. My third birth was a thrilling accidental home birth experience, where I delivered my 4.9 kg son myself just as the paramedics arrived! These experiences have shaped my understanding of birth and reinforced my belief that every woman deserves to choose her own path. I’m here to support you in whatever birthing choices you make—whether that’s a hospital, a birth center, or the comfort of your home. No judgments, just unwavering support! Birth is a wild, magical, and intense journey—one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences of your life. I want you to embrace it wholeheartedly, not just as a means to an end but as a powerful event that shapes your story. Together, we will prepare you for whatever lies ahead, ensuring you feel confident, informed, and ready to welcome your little one into the world. Let’s embark on this incredible journey together! |
