Childbirth Workshop on May 24!!
Are you nervous about squeezing that precious watermelon from your perfectly tiny vagina?
That’s relatable!
I’m teaching a 5 hour in-person workshop on May 24th – providing you with the tools, and info you need to feel powerful and confident going into birth!
Psst… You’re so Strong!
teach you to advocate for yourself
give you tools to navigate the hard bits
show you a birth road map and give you an idea of what to expect, even if your journey is as unique as you are!
I can’t take away all the uncertainty of birth. But I can:
“Amy is kind, Passionate about birth, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable! She is the perfect example of birth being heart-centered work and fills the cups of women she works with. I cannot recommend her highly enough to any woman who wants to be empowered to make autonomous decisions about their body and birth.”
— Elizabeth Charron, Doula, Author, Mother of 4
What to Expect
-
Pregnant people and their support person
Anyone wanting more than the bare minimum from their birth experience
Couples who want hands-on instruction to build out their birth plan and work together to bring their baby earthside.
First time or subsequent parents wanting more info, tools and support going into childbirth
Birthing people who are seeking a natural delivery
-
Birthing people who don’t care about their birth experience
Those planning an immediate epidural or c-section (if you think this still might be right for you, let’s have a chat! I don’t want anyone to feel othered and this is definitely geared toward unmedicated birth).
Couples ready to go along with their provider without question or regard to evidence based practice or personal harm.

Childbirth Education Workshop
Open for registration
Date: Sunday May 24
At the workshop I will feed you some tasty organic food, have you giggling about things we’re not supposed to talk about and leave you feeling less intimidated about giving birth!
My hope is that childbirth goes from something scary into an experience you are excited about!
Because in reality giving birth is badass and you are a goddess — that’s right, a creator of life — own it!
You deserve more than JUST a healthy baby and mama (which is always the first goal). YOU are worth more than the bare minimum!
Location: Levee Collective
Time: 9am to 2pm
Cost: $200
