💪🏼You desire the confidence to birth in a way that leaves you and your baby with positive memories?

🌟Start today by being brave by closing your eyes and imagine you had the birth you would love. ❤️

👉🏻I know your inner critic wants your attention right? You can’t have that… you’re not strong enough…that’s crazy …on and on.

👍But what if you could? Would you love it? What if all you needed was the right tools. Tools that help you build that DREAM BIRTH you’d love ❤️Would you say “ heck ya”, sign me up or no thanks I’ll just see what happens?

🛠️If you want to build a house you wouldn’t just see how it works out and not have the right tools or a blueprint to guide you would you?

If you want to make a set of blueprints to help guide you along your path, now is the time. ⏰

“I’ll wait until I’m closer to birth- by then you’ve lost precious time. Birth starts way early in pregnancy and continues throughout.

So if you’re 6 weeks, 12, 24,28,36 it’s time now. Procrastination is the tool of fear. Fear is a stop sign for most people instead of a motivator for change.

😃Come on… let’s get started

Check out the online classes and my personal coaching. Yes it’s affordable and especially worthwhile.

I’ve helped thousands to learn how to use the proven tools and create workable blueprints. IS TODAY YOUR DAY? Awesome🌟 I can’t wait to meet you😃

📣We hear so much about pain 😳in childbirth… yet very few talk about the truth 😃behind it.

💪🏼Birth sensations are strong — powerful, intense, purposeful — but they are not an injury they are Stretching. The body is doing exactly what it was designed to do.

☹️Pain often enters when the nervous system doesn’t understand what’s happening. When sensations feel unfamiliar or scary, the body goes into fight-or-flight — tightening, resisting, and wanting it to stop.

Here’s the paradox of birth:
✨ The baby is born when you soften, not when you fight.
✨ When you say YES to the sensations instead of no, the body opens.

✍🏻Education changes everything.

When you understand how your nervous system works, how to breathe, relax, and trust your body — intensity no longer has to mean suffering.

This is the conversation we have at — premium education designed to empower your birth, calm your nervous system, and help you work with your body instead of against it.

🫶Your body is capable.
🫶Your baby knows the way.
✍️Knowledge is the bridge between fear and confidence.

✨ New Blog Is Live!✨
When Body and Baby Align: Supporting Pelvic Engagement

Did you know that most babies naturally move head-down by around 36 weeks and begin settling into the pelvis as birth approaches?
And… sometimes they need a little loving support. 💛

If this isn’t your first pregnancy, or if you’ve noticed your baby floating, flipping, or feeling heavy out front, this blog is especially for you.

👀 Some signs your baby may need extra support engaging in the pelvis:
• People commenting you “look like you’re having twins” (when you’re not)
• Baby resting on your lap when you sit
• Increased back pain late in pregnancy
• Baby changing positions frequently after 35 weeks
• Going overdue
• Being told you have diastasis recti

✨ The good news? There is a simple, effective solution.

In this blog, I share:
🤍 Why this happens (especially in later pregnancies)
🤍 How abdominal tone and support affect baby’s position
🤍 Why keeping baby up in your body helps them settle down into the pelvis
🤍 How proper belly support can encourage optimal positioning
🤍 Midwife-tested tips to help prevent breech, transverse, or stalled labor

After 26+ years as a midwife, I’ve seen how small, informed adjustments can prevent big complications — and help families avoid unnecessary interventions or C-sections when a natural birth was possible.

Your body was designed for birth.
Your baby wants to align.
Sometimes they just need the right support. 🌿

🎁We all make wishes of what we would love at Christmas and then pray someone gives it to us.

👍What if you made a wish and then believed it to already be true?

What would your birth or life or ? Be like if it actually came true?

Would you believe it or would you say “ I can’t believe this actually came true”.

✍️Write down something you would really love. Believe in it and then take action. Your best birth is just waiting to be asked for. The key is to do your. Part to support it.

Making a wish, vision or dream is your gift to yourself this year. Make it a good one. 🌟

💛Pregnancy isn’t just a physical journey… it’s a sacred remembering✨

Within you, a soul is forming. Within your baby, a soul is awakening. And meditation becomes the bridge between worlds — a quiet, powerful doorway where the two of you meet, communicate, and bond long before the first breath is taken.

In my newest blog, I share how intentional meditation during pregnancy can:

💛Strengthen the spiritual connection between mother and baby
💛Regulate the nervous system for both of you
💛Reduce fear and increase trust in your body
💛Enhance intuition and communication
💛Create a foundation of peace that carries into birth and beyond

Stillness is not emptiness… it is connection.

If you’ve ever wanted a deeper relationship with your baby before they even arrive, this blog is for you.

Read it, feel into it, and let it gently guide you back to your own inner wisdom.
