Start your motherhood journey on the right foot

Have the Birth Story you've always dreamed of

When I first found out I was pregnant with my first baby, I knew I wanted an unmedicated childbirth. I had seen women have their incredible, empowered, and even euphoric unmedicated births right in front of me and I believed that I could experience that for myself.

Deep down, all I really wanted was what was best for my body, my baby, and my birth.

Well, my first experience with birth was not what I thought it was and I ended up with an epidural.

Looking back now, I know why.

My second and third births were different. I did things differently, I got the tools and support that I needed, and I had the unmedicated, empowered, euphoric birth I had always wanted.

Testimonial
I was able to make it through without an epidural and I feel SO strong from your content. I knew I didn't need to feel afraid when the nurse said “there's a C-Section and three more epidurals ahead of you” and I knew she was coming too quickly for that. 😅. I also said “we won't make it that long. Fill the tub!”
– .
Testimonial
I 100% love your content and all of your courses. I found you somehow via Instagram and decided to start your birth course based on your personality and your approach to birth. I don't just want someone who rattles off statistics to me.
– Danielle Boprey
Regret not getting educated sooner
I found you when I was pregnant and I was preparing for birth. I'm still following you because 1.) I love your educational content and 2.) I want to keep your info around for if we are blessed enough to have a second baby. I want to be more prepared and educated. I regret not knowing more going into my birth / recovery.
-Sara Añar
Testimonial
I just want to say thank you! Few nurses I've encountered while having FOUR babies have been nice, encouraging and supportive. You're one of them! You have been absolutely outstanding. Thank you so much for being such an encouragement and safe spot for women who are fixing to have a baby, are planning to have kids, or like myself, are done having myself and just find comfort in your content!
-Izzy – mom of 4
Testimonial
We ended up having a C-Section at 37 w 6 d for low amniotic fluid and breech presentation. But my husband and I loved your course. WE felt prepared for birth. We went in wanting an all natural vaginal delivery but had to pivot last minute. Your course gave us confidence in knowing what questions to ask and which interventions we wanted. I've shared your instagram and the name of your course to my CNM group. Because from a nurse's perspective, you break down everything better than any other course I looked at! You are doing what God has called you to do for sure!!
-Allison Peters
Testimonial
I'm so grateful for your class and account! Thank you so much for your guidance. We made it through unmedicated and accomplished a few other goals too. I felt empowered and I'm feeling grateful.
-Carolyn Carter – First time mom
Empowered Mama
Well mama, I can't thank you enough. The advice you gave me during the beginning of the first trimester stuck with me and I am so glad I took your advice + allowed myself to fall in love from the very beginning. I've been so much less anxious and just took it to heart to enjoy this baby as long as they are with me. It's made the world of difference.
-Siena – Mama of an Angel Baby and now a Rainbow Baby
Everyone needs to take this class
My unmedicated birth was so magical and euphoric. If it was socially acceptable, it would be all I ever talk about all the time. I'm so happy I took your class!
-Nedda McKnight – Mom of 2
Testimonial
You and your classes helped me tremendously! We ended up having to induce but because of learning how to ask questions we were able to do it on our terms and working with our OB team, which they were incredible making sure we were going as close to our birth plan as we could and including us in the decision making! I wouldn't have felt confident or had the knowledge to talk to them if it wasn't for you! THANK YOU!!
-Makenna Farner
Empowered Mama
Everything you teach about giving birth is phenomenal! Going through labor w/o the epidural wasn't intentional but I'm so glad it worked out that way because I know my body can go through labor and recovery just fine, in fact, better than I would've if I had gotten the epidural. So thank you so much for creating this space for moms!
– Julie Molina
Success story
I had my first unmedicated birth yesterday and wanted to thank you for your course as well as posting your birth story! I am so amazed I did it! We are both doing well. THANK YOU! 💜

The Labor Room Podcast 1

Are we supposed to know what we’re doing? No? Just checking! But the real question is are we supposed to figure it all out alone?

The answer is no. The Labor Room podcast is a live-workshop style, mom-to-mom conversation with Mamas who’ve been there. Mamas who can say “me too” when you want to start your motherhood journey out on the right foot but you need some help figuring it all out.

Through his podcast you'll learn actionable step-by-step methods, factual information, and real-life experiences from a mom who’s been there. From TTC, pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and the baby stage…we are going to dig into the nitty gritty, the down and dirty, the real-life, no sugar-coating good stuff that you’ve been looking for on your journey through motherhood.

As a mama of three, a Labor and Delivery nurse, a birth educator, and a mom who’s been there, I’m going to help you find your way to an empowered, confident birth and beyond.

Become Empowered In Your Journey To & Through Motherhood

Making good, healthy decisions for your family begins during pregnancy and never truly ends. You'll be making hard choices, trusting your gut, and giving your baby the best that you possibly can now and forever.

It's important that you are empowered to ask questions when you aren't sure about something, become informed when you have choices to make, and feel confident in your ability to grow and nourish your baby from day one.

The more confident and empowered you feel now, the more comfortable you'll be trusting yourself down the road.

is this you?

Sometimes you wonder if an incredible breastfeeding experience is in the cards for you

  • Maybe this is your first baby and you're not sure if you're cut out for the breastfeeding.
  • Maybe you're stuck in the memory of your previous breastfeeding experience and can't get passed the fact that it didn't work out the way you'd hoped the first time around,
  • Maybe you've been studying breastfeeding but you're feeling overwhelmed by it all.
  • Maybe you already know that you want to give your baby breastmilk but you just need some questions answered.
