"The truth for women living in a modern world is that they must take increasing responsibility for the skills they bring into birth if they want their birth to be natural. Making choices of where and with whom to birth is not the same as bringing knowledge and skills into your birth, regardless of where and with whom you birth."
Dr. Michel Odent, Obstetrician
"I'm just going to 'wing it'"
As with any aspect of life, it's good to have goals and this does not go any less for the birth of your child. We know pregnancy and the prospect of motherhood can be overwhelming, but in order to create the best birth experience for you and your baby, education and preparation are necessary. You will celebrate the birth of your child for years to come, with this being the original birthday party.
Our BioBirth course helps to prepare you for labor by first explaining the physicality and mechanisms that cause labor to happen as it does, then describing the patterns of labor, before finally taking you through a myriad of natural tips, tricks, and biologically-normative ways to cope with labor. BioBirth also covers scientific evidence on how to reduce the impact of augmented, induced, and surgical childbirth. Why "BioBirth"? Because the scientific lens has finally been turned to birth and it has been telling us that "biologically normative" modes of birth benefit the long-term health and wellbeing of our children! As a mother, I read so many books and took so many classes... but none of them actually taught me why natural birth was important other than to say "you don't want to drug your child, do you?!". Of course not! But I also wanted my child to be healthy- not just at birth, but for a lifetime!
Something was telling me that pregnancy and birth were incredibly important events, but in 2011, there was little publicly-available research on the health impact from the mode of birth. I began to go back to the building blocks of science. There I found burgeoning research on epigenetics and the expression of DNA, affected by environmental and lifestyle factors, but the amount of literature was extremely limited. Enter: Toni Harman and her film "Microbirth". It contained a fuller realization of everything I had only just begun to learn! The topics addressed in the film exploded into the scientific community and my knowledge began to grow by leaps and bounds until I my view of birth had completely shifted!
At the time, I had already become a childbirth educator, but I eventually left my certifying organization when I was asked to not incorporate this new information. BioBirth is an amalgam of all of my education and training, designed for parents who need they "Why" of what they're doing and want to know the bigger, life-long implications of their choices for their children.

Postpartum
In the pensive wait for your little one, your time of recovery and rest can often get lost or forgotten when preparing for Baby's arrival. Postpartum planning helps to outline common needs and efficient set ups that maximize your rest, bonding, and convenience. Planning can also help your partner to better anticipate your postpartum needs. Postpartum planning can also help you utilize community resources, like meal trains and even a postpartum "party". We can help you create a meal train system and use easy templates to easily and comfortably express your boundaries to well-meaning visitors.
