Pregnancy and Birth Coaching

by

B-earth-Mama

Pregnancy and Birth Coaching by B-earth-Mama is the equivalent of hiring a wedding planner, but for having a baby. Take the stress out of preparing for birth and parenthood by gifting yourself the guidance of a trusted birth professional who can help you make informed decisions for yourself in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. In personalized sessions, we will discuss ways to care for yourself in pregnancy, strategies for preparing for birth, postpartum planning, setting health boundaries, and what to expect from your newborn in those first precious weeks. Whether you are seeking coaching for an empowered pregnancy, or last minute guidance for an anticipated pivot in your birth plan, I offer gentle and direct support to help you sort through your options to make the best possible decisions for yourself and your family.

Let's get started!

1-hour coaching session(s) to 1. clarify your priorities for your pregnancy/birth/postpartum; 2. address any obstacles that may be coming up for you in your care or in your personal preparation approach; and 3. come up with a customized preparation plan based on your unique desires and needs.
