Welcome to Childbirth and Parenthood Preparedness Class! I’m so excited to help welcome you on this every changing journey of pregnancy, birth, and parenthood. I wrote the curriculum for Whole Body Pregnancy Childbirth and Parenthood Preparation to fill a me-sized hole that I saw in the birth world. Too often the “gate-keepers” of birth in America are cis-gender, white folks. Brown and Black folks aren’t often represented or centered. LGBTQ+ folks aren’t often centered. Fat people or larger bodies aren’t centered. I created this class in the hopes of providing ALL families practical information about the physiological aspects of labor, childbirth and postpartum, but also to help folks connect with the spiritual, mental and holier aspects of what it is to transition from someone who is pregnant or doesn’t have children into parents. I created this class so that ALL families would see themselves represented in the visuals, language and spirit of this class.
My goals for this Childbirth and Parenthood Preparation Class are simple and complex. I want you to trust, I want you to stand in your power and I want you to feel educated. I strongly believe that these three areas will help you towards a birth and 4th-trimester experience you can look back at with contentment and hopefully happiness.
Labor, Birth and the 4th Trimester are full of maddening contradictions. It’s about relinquishing the human desire to control in order to give way to the more basic, inherited instincts of listening, hearing and honoring what your body and baby have to say. We have the tools, we just need to remember how to use them. Whole Body Pregnancy aims to help you find your voice. It aims to help you come into better relationship with your body and your partner(s).
The journey may not be easy, but neither is labor or parenthood. It may not be hard either, because sometimes labor and parenthood aren’t hard. I hope that it will be challenging and life-affirming for you. Thank you for taking this journey with me.
Healing for Pregnant People During a Pandemic

DETAILS FOR MARCH COMING SOON!
A safe space for BIPOC folks to come together in community to process the physical symptoms of being pregnant in Black, Brown, and queer during the time of COVID-19. Each week we’ll check in with one another and have an activity that you can use during your pregnancy to help center and ground yourself.
