Birth is a process of initiation.
I’m honored to be teaching this class alongside Ana Ruiz, Licensed Midwife behind Gentle Womb Birth. Together, we bring a heart-centered and evidence-informed approach to this work. I also draw from my experience as a certified birth doula, Ayurvedic practitioner, and Birthing from Within mentor to support you in preparing not just physically and mentally—but spiritually.
In addition to practical preparation, I teach the inner journey that unfolds as you cross the threshold into motherhood. This rite of passage is often missing from traditional hospital-based education, where the focus tends to remain on procedures and protocols. In our class, we make space for both: the clinical understanding and the sacred unfolding.
Whether you are planning a home birth or a hospital birth, this experience will help prepare you to walk through birth as a transformative initiation—grounded, informed, and deeply connected to your inner knowing.
