Embodied Birth Preparation

Classes will be held on Tuesdays for 8 weeks

January 13th, 2026 - March 3rd, 2026

10:00am-12:30pm PST

There will be four 1.5 hour virtual prenatal yoga sessions on Saturdays: January 17 & 31st and February 14th & 28th at 10am PST.

This is a virtual course meeting on Zoom.

A sacred journey into mindful birth and the transition from maiden to mother.

For Women that are pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant someday.

This is for you if...

  • You want to prepare for birth in a way that goes beyond checklists, connecting with your body, mind, and heart.

  • You’re curious about how to meet the intensity of labor with trust and resilience.

  • You want to cultivate confidence in your ability to give birth—no matter what path your birth takes.

  • You value a supportive, nonjudgmental space where all feelings and questions are welcome.

  • You want tools for navigating both the expected and the unexpected in birth.

  • You’re seeking a deeper understanding of your body’s wisdom and how to work with it.

  • You want to feel connected to your partner or birth team and prepare together.

  • You believe birth is more than a physical event—it’s a rite of passage.

  • You want to step into birth feeling informed, supported, and grounded.

  • You’re ready to invest time and energy in your own transformation as you prepare to welcome your baby.

Whether you're newly pregnant or planning to conceive, this space invites you to prepare for birth not only with your mind, but with your body, heart, and soul. This is not your average birth class. This is a return.

A Grounded and Sacred Approach to Birth

Over the course of 8 weeks, you'll be held in community as we prepare for the threshold of birth. There will be 4 1.5 hour prenatal Yoga classes during the 8 weeks of our journey together.

Each practicum session weaves together:

  • Grounding somatic practices

  • Practical birth education, postpartum information and preparation for both

  • Storytelling, myth, and creative exploration of the Mother Archetype

  • Shared wisdom and deep listening

  • Ritual and personal reflection

This is an intimate, supportive space for processing, learning, creating, and deepening trust in your body's wisdom and the unknown path ahead.

Empowered Birth Preparation for Soon-to-Be Mothers

I’ve been creating something rich and powerful for mothers-to-be—whether you are already pregnant or simply dreaming of it someday—who want to prepare for birth and postpartum in a way that goes far beyond stages of labor or the medical checklist.

This is about…

  • Emotions, the mind, the psyche, and the body working together in harmony.

  • Somatics, mindfulness, and movement as tools to anchor you through the unknown.

  • Ritual and celebration, honoring the rite of passage from maiden to mother.

  • Community and sisterhood, connecting with women around the world on a similar journey.

  • A remedy for overwhelm and fear, replacing anxiety with trust and presence.

  • Pausing, slowing down, and being here now—for yourself, your pregnancy, and your baby.

  • Practical and soulful practices that actually support you in the moment of labor— because I’ve been there, and I know what makes a difference.

I’ve been dreaming this offering into being for years. My own experience of birth and postpartum—and the many mothers I’ve supported over the last 12 years—have shown me that the time is now to share it with you.

This is an invitation to step into an experience that will nourish, prepare, and empower you in ways that last far beyond the birth itself.
