I was listening to a podcast from Evidence Based Birth® where a doula in the Netherlands said something that really struck a chord with me: “Birth rarely goes exactly as planned… but knowing your options? That’s where real empowerment lives.” 🙌
Yes. This is exactly what I teach.
There’s no one “right” way to give birth…
It’s about feeling confident in your choices, having practical tools, and knowing you’re supported every step of the way.
When you’re informed, you’re in the driver’s seat.
You get to make the decisions that feel right for you.
And that’s when we birth better.
Education is power, and I couldn’t agree more ❤️
But here’s the thing... learning is just the start.
What we do with that knowledge? That’s where the transformation happens.
That’s why I always say - just do it! (yep, just like the Nike ad 😉)
Because when we implement - when we use the tools, the mindset, the prep…
👉 That’s when the magic unfolds
👉 That’s when confidence builds
👉 That’s when birth becomes a more empowering experience
And always remember... you can’t fail at birth 💪 So just do it 🙌🥰
✨ If you want to listen to the episode, it’s Evidence Based Birth® EBB 351: “Home Birth is a National Heritage!” with Doula Madi van Tonder - such an insightful look into the Dutch maternity care system.
✨ And if you’re ready to feel more informed, more confident, and more in control…

I love supporting couples on their birthing journeys and watching them step into birth with calm, confidence, and power 🤗
