Do you want an informed, instinctive birth experience? Are you ready to meet yourself on the other side of the threshold?
For those who want the most from their sacred journey through birth + beyond
Childbirth is your first major experience as a family. It can be a fantastic enrichment rather than an affliction; it is a blossoming of creative energy, a submerging into a depth of power you’ve never known, and then resurfacing with even greater strength.
I believe you already hold immense resources of birth wisdom within — a knowing that this journey is meant for you right now, in just this way, lighting your intuition like a fiery torch in the dark.
Are you prepared to dig deep, to consider your desires for this unique birth story, to do what you can to bring your vision to life? Do you want to learn about self-nurturing, grow confidence, and birth in awareness?
You’ll remember this day for the rest of your days, and this adventure will color the transformation awaiting you in years to come. With a quality childbirth education, a solid support system, an attentive care provider, and a nourished postpartum life, I believe the modern parent can experience far more highs than lows.
However your story looks, I acknowledge it is your own, and I am here for you with compassion, respect, and love.

Holly is an amazing instructor!! [I]t was worth every single penny because this class really educates you on how to advocate for yourself and prepare for birth naturally.
Jessica
I was very anxious about giving birth, and Holly was able to help my husband and me prepare for all possible outcomes. […] If I were to do it again, she would be my first call.

A Birth Plan Isn’t What You Think It Is
Hard truth time: a “Birth Plan” isn’t really a birth plan. Many people have already suspected as such, which is why it’s often reframed as “Birth Preferences” or “Birth Wishes,” yet remains in mostly the same format: a description of the ideal birth outcome, and procedures that won’t be accepted. Your true birth plan involves…
Sacred Severance: “Birthday Candle” Cord Burning Ceremony
I made a few different choices for my second birth, one of which was eschewing the cord-cutting tradition.

It was a beautiful and peaceful few minutes dedicated to J’s…
