The Ultimate in Mind-Body Preparation for an Empowered Pregnancy & Labor Experience
When I was newly pregnant, I wondered, “How do I, a naive, yet intentional woman who wants to be an empowered mother become the strongest version of myself throughout the process of pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood?” I wondered if it was even possible.
I read everything I could get my hands on, meditated, visualized, journaled and walked my way right through delivery. Now, after over one decade of dedicated work with moms, this is the path I’ve created for you. A path that takes you from uncertain (and perhaps uncomfortable), to empowered, confident and strong. A path that prepares you step by step for labor, delivery, postpartum and motherhood.
One-on-one training is all about you. Based on your unique needs, concerns and goals, we co-create a program that will best support and empower throughout the process. Anticipating many changes as you progress through pregnancy, we confidently modify along the way to keep you as active and comfortable as possible.
I have goals for our time together including for YOU to have a toolbox FULL of skills when you it comes time for labor and delivery. And, for YOU to have radiant confidence and strength, knowing that you prepared with intention for this life changing experience.
And how about you? What are your goals? Do you know yet?
Have you even considered that you can have goals during this transformative time?
Have you considered what it would feel like to be an active participant in labor and delivery?
Have you considered that you don’t have to simply be a victim to the changes happening in your body throughout pregnancy?
We can explore these topics and so much more together, knowing that the goals will evolve as you get closer and closer to the big day–morphing and crystalizing along the way.
This service has been developed from a decade specializing in this population with the fusion of Health Coaching skills to help bring out the absolute best in each individual. I am committed to your progress and what I know is that the Bodies for Birth® methodology works.
It nourishes and stabilizes, strengthens and empowers, provides and supports…and it will do the same for you.
