You know that having a baby will forever change your life. Did you also know that you can be empowered to choose how you will experience the great adventure of becoming a Mother? I ask you to sit and quietly reflect on the following questions:

• Do you want to feel confident you are eating the right foods, staying fit and strong, improving your energy & stamina, and supporting your baby's thriving development? 
• Do you want to break through the fears, obstacles, and roadblocks that can make labor and birth scary and painful so that you are prepared for an empowered, fearless birth experience?
• Do you have an inkling that your body is indeed a powerful, beautiful vessel that knows how to birth your baby but need help tapping into those parts of yourself that will give you the confidence you need to get there?
• Do you want to prepare your home, relationship with your partner, older child(ren), & find the support you really want and need to get all of your ducks in a row before those first beautifully intense weeks of life with your newborn?
• Are you worried about how to stay connected to what you love in your life right now and want to hold onto the things that keep you happy & healthy after your baby is born?
• Do you and your partner dream about who you’ll be as parents, what family life will look like, and the qualities you want to nurture in your child(ren) but feel a little overwhelmed with how much life will change once your baby arrives? 

As your Pregnancy & Birth coach, I will help you navigate all of the wellness, pregnancy, birthing, and parenting concerns you have and support you in setting action-based goals for an empowered and healthy pregnancy and birth experience.

This empowerment and feeling of confidence in your innate ability to go into labor and birth as a powerful, peaceful woman trusting she can navigate through whatever comes, will carry through to your first days and weeks as a Mother and enrich your relationship with your baby long-term. I will work with you and your partner to discover the tools you need for a healthy pregnancy, a beautiful birth experience, and a greater vision of the long-term qualities you want to nourish in your child(ren).

The birthing experience is a powerful metaphor for all of the big experiences in life. We cannot pre-determine what will happen, or predict exactly what the experience will be like. What we can do is dive deeply into the inner work needed to prepare ourselves to mindfully navigate whatever comes in birth and in life with knowledge, empowerment, and a belief in ourselves. As your Pregnancy & Birth coach, I will hold the space for you to do this work and develop practices that will not only serve you in birthing your baby but carry through into your personal and family life.
