Maybe it’s your first baby…
You are curious about your birthing options.
You want the best outcome possible for you and your baby.
You know you want to avoid a cesarean but you aren’t sure how to do that.
You need someone to walk along side you.
You’re hoping for someone to help you and your partner navigate labor and delivery.
You want more than a healthy mom and baby - you want a POSITIVE birth experience.
Or maybe this isn’t your first rodeo…
You’ve birthed babies before, but never felt empowered.
You’ve had uncomplicated pregnancies and successful inductions, but you wonder if your body could do it on its own.
You might have experienced birth trauma with a previous birth, and this leaves you nervous for the next.
Fear, anxiety, and apprehension fill your mind because you don’t feel confident.
You want an undisturbed birth, but you are terrified about the labor pains those around you talk about.
When you think about it, maybe you’ve never actually been taught about physiological birth, only managed birth.
Your birth is around the corner and you are feeling anxious about everything.
You need someone to educate and encourage you through this journey.
Let’s Grow Together
You are here because you want to experience the best birth that you can. I’m so proud of you for recognizing that you play an active part in how your labor goes. You’ve heard stories about how labor went for those around you. Some could be positive, warm stories, but I’m willing to bet that many stories you have been told are warning you about how long labor can be, how much pain they felt before finally getting that epidural, how they are so thankful for their OB making the call to c-section. Those things can be scary…
Because the truth is, you don’t know what you are capable of, but I do!
As a mom of five, I’ve been through it all—inductions, cesareans, medicated and unmedicated labors. My personal experiences, combined with professional training, have fueled my passion for supporting other moms. I’m here to help you have the best birth experience possible.
After having two cesareans and going through my own bumpy journey to my VBA2Cs (vaginal birth after two cesareans), I have made it my mission to advocate for moms who have been through similar circumstances. I can’t help but share the knowledge that I have with you. I want you know it all BEFORE you’re faced with the decision to birth via cesarean. My goal as your educator and coach is to help build your confidence in yourself and your knowledge of birth. I help empower you so that you can achieve the best birth experience possible.
You need the facts, you need clear guidance & you need ample encouragement.
I can’t wait to help you thrive through pregnancy, birth and postpartum!
“IMAGINE that you approached your birth with CONFIDENCE. You aren’t worrying about other’s opinions, because you have ALL of the facts that you need. You are EDUCATED enough to make your own INFORMED DECISIONS about your birth. Even though your labor may take some unexpected turns, you navigate it FLAWLESSLY because you are PREPARED. Even if you throw your ENTIRE birth plan out the window during labor, you STILL BIRTH WITHOUT REGRETS because nothing was forced upon you. EVERY decision made was YOURS!”
-Katherine Stephens
Let’s work together to achieve a positive birth experience.
During your coaching experience we will:
Explore your birth bias so that we can address your current perspective and make adjustments if necessary.
Overcome your doubts by crushing those limiting beliefs that are holding you back so that you can regain confidence in your body and mind.
Dive into childbirth education and talk about physiological childbirth and how your baby works with you in the dance of labor.
Design your positive birth environment by building a birth team that will advocate for you.
Exercise informed decision making throughout your labor and birth so you can birth without regrets.
Make a postpartum plan so that everything is set and ready for you to thrive in the first few weeks with your newborn.
Maybe you’ve already had a baby and you are still trying to process your birth…
You are postpartum and you are struggling from lack of sleep, how in the world are you going to bring another baby to this world THIS TIRED?!
You cry all of the time whether you are alone with your baby or with support.
Normal daily task overwhelm you and find yourself feeling sad all of the time.
You want help, but you can’t ask for it, so you suffer in silence - you don’t want to be a burden.
You mourn the perfect birth you didn’t get, and you can’t stop asking “why?”
You just wish that someone would have ASKED you what you wanted instead of TELLING you what to do.
You need to let go of your limiting beliefs to heal.
You may kick yourself daily for not doing better in labor.
You might blame your providers for the outcome of your birth.
You feel bitterness and regret, and you wonder if you should have another child.
You may have experienced a traumatic birth and you are scared of another.
You feel like you are stuck in a hopeless cycle that will keep you unhappy forever.
You need someone to help you process all of these emotions that feel overwhelming.
This is such an IMPORTANT part of healing and preparing for the birth of your next baby!
I’ve Been There…
I suffered from postpartum depression for almost 3 years before addressing it. I spent the majority of my first two children’s lives speaking negatively to myself, hating my body, and feeling like a failure. From the outside I seemed to have it together, but on the inside, I was losing my identity. I didn’t recognize the woman in the mirror anymore. I isolated myself from those I was closest to, and my depression became an obstacle in my marriage. My world felt like it was crumbling around me, yet I was left feeling guilty. Guilty that I was not more thankful for the beautiful children that I had and the amazing opportunity I had to stay home with them.
I know how hard it is to climb out of the hole of postpartum depression and how difficult it is to suppress the anxiety we feel, but I also know the way out. I know how overwhelming it can feel, but I also know how glorious and powerful it feels to be free from it.
If you are struggling with your story of becoming a mom, or simply struggling with confusing emotions postpartum, let me listen, let me help you out. Let me enlighten you on the reason you feel the way that you do, and offer you hope and strategy so you can overcome it as well!
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR STORY!
