When you arrive at your client’s birthplace, knowing how and when to start supporting your client can feel overwhelming or intimidating. Here’s my go-to process for arriving at the birth space, acclimating to the environment, and jumping in for support.

I would love to know. Who of these five people on your team? Do you have all five people or maybe more on your team? What does that look like for you? Share with me.

It can be intimidating knowing that so much about birth is uncertain and unknown. It is so true when we say “no two births are alike.”

So today on the blog, I just want this to be an appreciation post for nurses and hospital staff.

You might be wondering: What is a birth philosophy? Well, a philosophy in itself is essentially the fundamental understanding of yourself. So when we are talking about a birth philosophy, we are talking about how you actually feel and think and understand birth to be in your own experience.

The Empowered Pregnancy Membership is my childbirth education support and community that I offer to anyone, near and far. 
A membership tailored to families who are planning to deliver their baby in the hospital setting.

When it comes to the care you receive during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, you have options. Take a listen if you want to know what and who they are!

– heard
– respected
– supported

Hey Mama, don’t forget to take care of yourself, too! Your baby registry is JUST as much about supporting you as it is about your little one. Adding just a handful of items to your registry that care for you will help you feel your best while transitioning into motherhood.

Getting into a positive birth mindset is a crucial part of preparing for labor and delivery. In this Birthing Bestie Blog, we’re dissecting the 3 P’s of Cultivating a Positive Birth Mindset so that you can move negative feelings and emotions before, during and after birth.
