Taking you from confused to confident in all of your options for birth.

 
 
 
 
 

I know what you’re thinking.

  • You’re about to have a baby (yay!), and you’re overwhelmed by all of the choices you’ll have to make surrounding your birth.

  • You’re worried that you won’t feel confident making decisions for yourself & your baby when the time comes.

  • You don’t want to “go with the flow” and have your provider make decisions for you, but there seem like SO MANY THINGS to know.

  • Maybe you’ve given birth before and you know that this time you want something different, but how do you achieve that?

Don’t worry, mama. You’re in the right place.

 
 
 
 

The Birth Planning Crash Course will guide you step-by-step to make the best choices for you and your baby.

 
 

In a world where birth is portrayed as scary, dramatic & traumatizing, it can be difficult to know what's the truth. Everywhere you turn there’s conflicting advice, confusing options, and you have a limited time to sift through it all.

You shouldn’t have to spend hundreds of hours trying to piece together what you need to feel ready. Doing it all yourself can often feel like you’re getting your PhD in birth.

 
 
 

If you take an average approach to your birth education, you’re going to end up with the average birth (and trust me, average is not what you want).

 
 
 

But I know you’re not your average mama, which means…

 
 
 
 

But having all of this means being prepared, and I’m not talking the kind of prepared you can get from random Google searches or internet freebies.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Imagine having everything you need to make empowered decisions in one place – no overwhelm, no second-guessing.

 

That’s exactly what you’ll find in the Birth Planning Crash Course.

 

Whether this is your first baby, or you’re an experienced mom, the Birth Planning Crash Course will help you have the birth you’re dreaming of.

 
 

Meet Dr. Sarah

I understand you because I was you.

I thought I was prepared for my first birth with my hospital childbirth education class and my internet research, but I still ended up with an unnecessary c-section. Afterwards I faced years of PTSD, depression & anxiety from the experience, which no one warned me could be a possibility. This led me to have an unassisted birth with my second son, taking total responsibility, and it completely changed my life.

Taking control back from the maternity care system that provided conveyor belt care, and arming myself with the knowledge to feel confident in my birth choices, brought me out of the dark.

Today I help other women to avoid what I experienced by educating them on all of their options, not just what is told to them in a 7 minute OB appointment. I know you are a smart, capable woman and, given the right tools, can have any birth you desire.

BIRTH ISN’T JUST ONE DAY.

 

What happens during your birth, good or bad, can affect you for a lifetime. You will never forget how you felt and how you were treated during your birth.

We spend months (sometimes years!) preparing for and investing in our weddings. Birth is a monumental part of life, and should be given the same time and dedication so you can have the peaceful, uplifting birth you’re hoping for.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes! I designed this course for all pregnant women, and that includes those having a home birth or a birth at a birth center. I believe it’s important to know ALL of your options, because it’s better to know and not need them than to need them and not know.

  • Most of the course is in video format, and every lesson also includes the audio only and transcript. A few lessons are in the form of written guides as well.

  • There is no wrong time, but I always say the earlier in your pregnancy, the better. You want to have time to go through the materials and feel confident, so I’d say by the 2nd or 3rd trimester, if possible. If you’re at the end of your pregnancy you can still go through the course quickly if you need to - even if you’re 40 weeks!

  • Once you purchase the Birth Planning Crash Course, you have access for the lifetime of the course!

  • Traditional classes often cover general information about labor, delivery, and newborn care. The Birth Planning Crash Course is entirely focused on helping you make personal, informed choices for your birth experience. Instead of generic guidance, you’ll gain insights into each decision point so you can build a plan that truly feels right for you.

  • Not at all! While it’s incredibly helpful for first-time moms, it’s also perfect for moms who want a more empowered, informed experience the second (or third!) time around. Every birth is different, and this course helps you prepare for the experience you want.

  • Sorry, my courses are designed for individual use only (one mother or couple per registration). I appreciate you acknowledging the time, knowledge and financial investment it took me to put this course together. Thank you for not sharing your login details with anyone!
