Giving birth is a natural process. Yet a burden of anxiety and fear of birth has been passed from generation to generation across western societies. This has resulted in a modern medical system that is led by fear. Even women who feel that birth is normal and natural often get caught up in the fear based approach.

In many cultures, women support women through pregnancy and birth. This custom serves to reduce fear and allows women to access their true loving and knowing nature. In this tradition, I help women understand the process and find ways to release fear so they may enjoy pregnancy and birth. My approach is gentle and relaxed, and also logical and evidence based.

The period of pregnancy and birth is a unique time in a woman's life in which she has the opportunity to go through amazing spiritual growth. Birth is the graduation into parenting; it is a bridge to be crossed. It can seem overwhelming to cross that bridge alone. I help guide a woman's attention inward where she can find clarity, strength, and empowerment.

As a woman approaches labor and birthing I am there for her. I love helping create a space for the woman to come into her knowing. When she is birthing fear drops away, inhibitions are forgotten, and thoughts evaporate. Everything is moving, flowing, and at the same time she is focused and present. Then the magic happens and she is at one with her baby and the creator. All present stand in awe. A baby is born and at that moment a mother is born as well. The sight of this tiny being stirs the partner, and a father is born with them. How extraordinary to be part of these unfolding moments of grace.
