My Pregnancy Coaching Approach

As a mother of 9 who gave birth to 7 children and a birth worker with 16 years of experience, I bring both personal and professional wisdom to every coaching session.

Every pregnancy is unique. Your coaching is customized to your body, your concerns, your birth preferences, and your learning style.

Evidence-Based + Experience-Based:
I combine current research with real-world birth experience to give you practical, proven strategies.

Judgment-Free Zone:
All birth choices are valid. Whether you’re planning an epidural or unmedicated birth, hospital or home, I support YOUR vision.

Partner-Inclusive:
Your support person is welcome in sessions. I believe prepared partners make better birth companions.

Empowerment-Focused:
My goal is to help you feel confident, capable, and in control of your birth experience—not fearful or dependent.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start pregnancy coaching?
You can start anytime! Many clients begin in the second trimester (weeks 16-24) to have time for comprehensive preparation. However, third-trimester clients also benefit greatly from focused birth preparation.

Is pregnancy coaching the same as prenatal classes?
No. Prenatal classes are group-based and cover general information. Pregnancy coaching is one-on-one, personalized to your specific needs, concerns, and birth goals. It’s much more detailed and customized.

Can my partner attend coaching sessions?
Yes! Partners are encouraged to attend. Prepared partners make better birth support people. Most clients include their partner in at least some sessions.

Do you work with people planning cesarean births?
Absolutely! Even with planned cesareans, preparation helps you understand what to expect, communicate preferences, and prepare for recovery.

I’m seeing a midwife/OB. Do I still need coaching?
Yes! Your provider handles medical care in brief appointments. Coaching gives you dedicated time for education, practice, questions, and emotional support that medical appointments can’t provide.

Is pregnancy coaching covered by insurance?
Some HSA/FSA accounts cover maternity coaching. I provide detailed invoices for reimbursement submission. Check with your insurance provider.

What if I need to reschedule?
Life happens! You can reschedule with 24-hour notice without penalty.

Do you offer couples/partner-focused sessions?
Yes! Partner preparation sessions focus on teaching your support person hands-on comfort measures, advocacy skills, and labor support techniques.
