their birth story doesn’t have to be yours.

I get it. Growing up, you probably never heard positive birth stories - mostly negative or traumatic ones, me too. It made you afraid of birth, even wondering if you would want to have kids at all after not knowing if something could go wrong…

But, you know you’ve been called to be a mama. You’ve heard that God designed your body for this. You just have no idea how.

And then one day, you heard your first positive birth story and it made you feel empowered. You started thinking, “Maybe birth doesn’t have to be bad. Maybe I can do this. I would like to at least learn how to and try.”

You’re not alone.

Our society has done a terrible job of showing the beautiful side of birth. We have instilled fear into women that birth is a medical emergency rather than the natural occurring and beautiful experience that God intended it to be. We have forgotten how to trust our bodies to birth our babies and instead rely on our doctors to tell us what to do which has caused women to continue to have negative experiences.

After following this formula myself of following whatever my doctor said and doing very little to empower and educate myself, I ended up traumatized from my first birth - wondering if I will ever have more kids.

I promised myself i wouldn’t repeat the same mistakes again.

After gaining the mental, spiritual and physical knowledge I needed to know to have a positive and beautiful birth, I birthed two more babies unmedicated, become a doula and have fallen in love with birth.

And, I have taken all of the mistakes I have made, time invested, money spent, tools gained and secrets learned, and put them into a step-by-step system just for you, so YOU and your partner can have this beautiful experience too.

what is werk your birth?

Werk Your Birth is designed to give you the comprehensive, step-by-step mental, spiritual and physical knowledge, weekly live group coaching calls with me (your virtual doula), access to a private community for daily support, and an exclusive community of other mamas preparing to have a positive, beautiful and fearless natural birth.

The goal of this program is to provide consistent and reliable support and comprehensive education for you and your partner go from a place of feeling uneducated, fearful, and anxious to walking into birth feeling confident, equipped, and empowered with the tools and knowledge to have a positive natural birth experience.

This program has helped families take back their power and write their own birth stories

what’s included?

in-depth training videos

The most frustrating part about childbirth education is that it is usually watered down and only covers one part of birth. We cover everything from A-Z, from the mental preparation and spiritual preparation to the physical aspects of labor and recovery in postpartum. Everything is easy to comprehend, rewatch (even in labor), and is accompanied with templates, cheat sheets and downloads to add to your birth bag.

live weekly group coaching calls

Everyone’s goals are different and everyone’s situation requires different guidance. So, on our calls, we will provide individualized coaching in a group setting. You will get tailored advice, feedback, and direction based on YOUR specific needs, and get other input from mamas cheering you on along the way.

We will become besties by the end of this (since we talk more than any doula/client relationship out there).

partner training & Support

You want your partner to play a role in this birth too, right? Having a supportive and EDUCATED partner is what makes the difference in this journey.

They are not forgotten here. Each module speaks directly to your partner so they know exactly what to do to keep you supported AND they have monthly partner-only calls with other partners to prepare for their roles during birth and into parenthood…because, you should not be the only one doing the work and giving them the Clifnotes version.

what people are saying about Werk Your Birth…

I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating your course and being my doula! Your course was beyond what I expected and provided us with a plethora of knowledge about so many topics; things we hadn’t even thought about. Many topics opened up for the perfect dialogue to equip us with what we needed as first time parents. 

I felt confident and prepared enough going into my birth knowing that I could do it unmedicated.

You’re doing AMAZING work that not everyone has the gift to do and you’re great at it! I pray you continue this work and can tell it fills you up ☺️. Thanks again for being apart of my birth experience 💙

hey mama!

I never imagined my first birth would end in an emergency C-section.

Although I thought I was prepared, I learned the hard way that Google, social media, and my hospital birth class wasn’t enough to help me navigate the birth experience I desired.

It left me traumatized about birth - fearful of having more kids…

My gut told me there had to be a better way to give birth, so I dedicated myself to healing, overcoming fears and trusting my body to do what it was designed to do.

My body did the most amazing thing - it birthed two more babies in the most supernatural way. Birth connected me to myself and God in a way that I never experienced before.

Through the work of preparing for birth and experiencing it, I fell in love with giving birth.

From these experiences, I have created a proven process of going from fearful to empowered in birth. Fear will always exist where knowledge doesn’t and knowledge is power.

I am committed to helping you have this power over your birth story.

Let’s get to werk.

You could finish this course in a weekend if you choose since it is a self-paced course.

If you are later in pregnancy, you can still successfully complete, digest and apply the material this course in a shorter amount of time.

How is this different from what you post on social media?

I do my best to provide quality content for everyone I come in contact with because I truly care about your birthing outcomes. That being said, I can only teach so much on Instagram and YouTube. The best birth preparation includes daily support in our private community, so when you join this program, I can answer your questions based on your personal goals and situation. While there are a wealth of free resources on my page, it is only 1 step of a multi-step process and you may need additional support helping it fit for you.

My course dives in deep to holistic and individualized birth preparation (something that cannot be achieved through social media) . I have poured my heart, soul and skillsets into helping you and your partner with an easy to follow guide to preparing your mind, body, spirit and ability to advocate - all things you need for birth (and, not one less). I've streamlined the birthing prep process and taken all of the hard work of researching off of your plates because I want this to be an enjoyable journey for you - not one full of unnecessary and scary google rabbit holes!

What can I do to ensure I get the birth I am desiring from this program?

Invest in yourself - both in time and effort! This program is comprehensive, meaning you will be learning a lot of information to see birth and do birth differently than you probably are used to seeing. In order to get the most out of this program, you will want to make sure and go through EVERY video and do the exercises and handouts provided. You'll get even more out of it if you (and your partner) engage in our private community to be able to ask questions. I believe if you take this course seriously, stay on track with the material and coaching calls, you will see a major transformation on your readiness for birth!
