Birthing in your Element Course coming soon
I will be there to hold and open space for your process, a soundboard for your thoughts & questions, your biggest cheerleader for your right to advocate for yourself with your chosen healthcare provider (if any)
I am here to hold a space of safety, sacredness and trust so you can surrender to the process of birth and receive all the wisdom and power this initiation has to offer you.
I will be there to gently nudge you back to your own intuition, to discuss your non-negotiables, up to date evidence, your dreams, wishes, hopes & boundaries.
To make a comprehensive postpartum plan to best support your healing, wellbeing and families health
To have those deep conversations about your thoughts, fears, desires, history & ever evolving feelings.
I believe that the journey of pregnancy, birth & the forever postpartum time are an extended ceremony that give profound invitation of transformation, integration and regeneration for both the birthing person and their whole family.
