the experience
You’ll gain a clear sense of what happens during labor, what helps it progress, and how to navigate both the expected and the unexpected in real time. You'll learn to work with your body's cues and make decisions from an intentional, informed place.
Birth is an intelligent physiological process designed to unfold under the right conditions. Not random, a synchronized process. This series orients you to that process with movement, breath, and advocacy as practical tools.

I've witnessed birth across the spectrum of home and hospital in the last 8 years of practice, 6 supporting women in Chico, and it has reaffirmed one core truth:
That is why I created this class. Chico needs more evidenced backed and biology based resources. With a background in science and natural living, I offer an approach that is both founded in experience and evidence.
birth unfolds differently depending on a woman’s environment, the support she receives, and how she prepares in the time leading up to labor.
