bring calm, confidence, and connection to your birth
You can do this.
Maybe you want to have an empowered hospital birth. Maybe it’s your first pregnancy after infertility and anxiety is creeping in. Or maybe you had a traumatic birth experience and crave redemption for your next. Whatever it is, the way you prepare during pregnancy can make all the difference.
childbirth education
In this self-paced online program, you can pick-and-choose the modules that align most with your needs or bundle them all for a comprehensive approach. Watch them on-the-go or in the comfort of your own home with your favorite snacks!
prenatal yoga
I’m completing an 85-hr Prenatal Yoga certification program January-March 2025 to bring peace and flow to your pregnancy! With a focus on breathwork and poses that are optimal for your transforming body, my goal for 2025 is to create convenient recordings you can take with you to squeeze in movement as your schedule allows.

I’ve been there too.
Hi! I’m Vanessa, a Certified Birth Doula CD(DONA) and Certified Childbirth Educator.
I was pregnant after living in chronic pain for 15 years due to undiagnosed endometriosis. The journey to diagnosis taught me a few things:
a variety of ways to cope with prolonged, extreme pain
the importance of evidence-based research to make informed decisions
the difference it makes when your care provider is truly aligned with your values
how to best advocate for myself and others
After an empowering and redemptive birth experience (in a hospital setting), I realized those were tools every birthing person could benefit from. You deserve to also find calm, confidence and connection during your pregnancy and birth, and I am here to help guide you!
Did you know there are 4 key decisions in pregnancy that can ultimately determine your birth satisfaction?
It’s true!
You probably have a perfectly curated Pinterest board of nursery themes. Perhaps crafting an announcement or reveal photo for social media. Your baby registry wish list may even be started already. But did you realize there are birth-related decisions you are making now in pregnancy that will impact the rest of your life, your partner's life, your child's life, and future generations? And I'm not talking about what name you'll choose... I've got a FREE guide that covers it all!
