Because birth isn’t just about bringing life into the world,
it’s about honoring the whole person you are as you step into this transformation.
Integrated Birth was born after many years of attending births as a doula, teaching childbirth education classes, and discovering what tools, skills, and knowledge actually make an impact int he birth experience.
This is a comprehensive, evidence based, self-paced online course that explores everything expecting couples need to know to create a confident, deeply empowering birth.
Rather than clicking through and reading endless text, you’ll learn through 200+ short, engaging videos of me teaching each topic, along with interactive exercises and downloadable resources to help you apply what you’re learning. You’ll feel like you are in a supportive classroom with me. It’s not boring… I promise!
There are general birth skills, knowledge and tools every pregnant woman (and her support people) need to understand. While all of that information is included in Integrated Birth, there is something that sets this course apart.
Integrated Birth is the first childbirth education course to consider personality as an important factor in the birth experience. You are unique, and every part of you will be present at your birth. Your habits, patterns, fears, strengths, past experiences, quirks, coping mechanisms – everything that makes you who you are– will walk into that birth room with you. So let’s ditch the “one-size-fits-all” model of childbirth education.
Childbirth isn’t just a physical event; it’s emotional, mental, spiritual, and deeply personal. Your personality shapes how you see the world, how you process experiences, and how you respond to challenges. It is the lens through which you experience life, how you handle uncertainty, and ultimately, how you experience birth.
This is why understanding you is just as important as understanding birth itself. The goal here is for you to bring the healthiest version of yourself to your birth. The way you navigate this journey matters, and so does the kind of support you receive. When your birth team truly understands your needs, preferences, and emotional landscape, they can offer support that feels personalized, empowering, aligned, and deeply meaningful.
We are diving into so much more than personality though. Keep reading to understand just how fully this course will prepare you for your birth . . .
