During pregnancy, many mamas focus solely on preparing for labor and birth, and still show up at the hospital feeling anxious and nervous, with fingers crossed for an ideal birth.
It just doesn’t work that way.
The truth is, preparing intentionally throughout pregnancy - for birth and motherhood - is the most effective way to ensure you’ll be calm when labor comes and feel like you can trust yourself and be confident about making the right decisions for you and your family, now and many years ahead.
The tools and practices you learn in this course are life-long skills that will serve you now, and for years after baby is born.
Sometime a mama wonders if preparing intentionally during pregnancy for birth and motherhood is a valuable use of her time.
She may say things like . . .
“Women have been birthing babies for hundreds of years. Why do I need to prepare?”
Or
“I’ll probably end up with a C-section, so why bother?”
Or
“I just want a healthy baby. That’s all that matters.”
I totally get it.
You want a healthy pregnancy, the safe arrival of your child and to bond deeply with baby.
So, if you set your intention, shouldn’t that be enough?!
Actually…no. It’s not enough.
What most people don’t realize is…
Embodying practices and connecting deeply with your inner wisdom DURING pregnancy is the most effective way to ensure the birth you want, without disappointments and begin motherhood with ease, bonding with your child and getting off to a healthy start. .
What if I told you there was a way to let go of fear, doubt and anxiety so you could be truly present?
Finally, The Empowered Pregnancy Method is born!

Introducing
The Empowered Pregnancy Method
Finally! A step-by-step process that gives you the tools to prepare your body, mind and soul for birth and motherhood.
Discover how to tune out distractions and release fears and limiting beliefs so you can listen to and trust your intuition.
Learn to steady your mind so you can lovingly guide your body, breath and baby when labor comes.
Ensure a smooth transition into motherhood, without disappointments or trauma, so you can focus is on healing and bonding with baby.
When a new mama says she had my voice in her head, encouraging her and cueing her breath throughout labor, giving her courage and stamina, it’s humbling.
How it began…
One reason I became a doula is because mamas were telling me they felt pressured make decisions that weren’t aligned with their values. And they felt scared, and later disappointed.
Afterwards, they’d confess to feeling poked and prodded, and wondered if the beeping monitor was more important than their experience.
I could relate. For my first birth, after about 50 hours of labor, when my doctor said I’d need a c-section, I felt disappointed, and felt like I had failed.
That’s when I became obsessed with figuring out how to birth better. Every birth I’ve attended has taught me something.
Birth requires every layer of a woman’s being, and a mama’s mental state significantly impacts how her experience unfolds.
Intentional preparation, as early as possible in pregnancy, is the best defense against disappointment and trauma. It’s the most effective way to ensure you get the birth experience you want and deserve. It’s also the best way to prepare for motherhood.
It’s easy to get distracted and overwhelmed in today’s world. But with a focus on body/mind practices, breath awareness and relaxation, you can strengthen your body and mind so you can be centered and confident when labor comes.
That’s why I created The Empowered Pregnancy Method, a step-by-step process that helps you focus on the essentials so you can connect your body, mind, heart and soul and create and protect what you want - no matter how and where you give birth.
