Dear Mama-to-be,
Are you thinking to yourself, I want to have a drug-free, natural birth for my baby… but I’m not sure I can handle the pain?
Or maybe you feel pretty confident that you can deal with it for a little while, but you’ve heard all the “horror stories” of endless labors that last for days and days and leave moms begging for c-sections.
Or perhaps you’re terrified of the unknown… what will labor really feel like? How much do contractions actually hurt?
I get it. I’ve been there. And I’ve been helping women have natural births for more than a decade. It’s actually a little funny - I had a friend look over a page on my website, and the page had something about “being scared you won’t make it.” She said I should change that to something else. This friend hasn’t been pregnant yet 😉 The truth is, I really did worry I couldn’t make it through labor naturally - and I know that’s true for many, many women.
You hear all the scary stories of impossible labor and how bad it’s going to hurt. And when you tell your friends and family, they just laugh and say you’ll change your mind when labor starts.
Gee, thanks for all the support!
Seriously, though, ignore the doubters - you are right here, right now, and I believe in you.
More importantly, I have been there (7 times) and helped many, many mamas (over a thousand) prepare for successful natural births without needing pain medications.
...and maybe that’s what you want - you know that natural birth is a great option for you and baby, but you want proven techniques that are going to help you handle whatever it is labor throws at you. You want to know what it’s going to feel like, how you can deal with it, what to do if you feel like you can’t keep going (hint: I am going to tell you exactly how you can), and how to make it from start to finish with confidence, strength, and a generous measure of grace.
If that’s you, read on…
So here’s what I’ve done. I’ve always been a little hesitant to put together a class on “natural pain relief” techniques. There are many reasons for that, but at its core, I think focusing on pain actually hurts moms and babies and natural birth - escaping pain becomes all that matters, and honestly, that’s not why you’re giving birth.
But I could talk for hours on just that topic, and frankly I know that you might not even try for a natural birth if you think you can’t get through it. I am passionate about helping mamas and babies (or “mamababies” as I think of them :D). So I want to do what it takes to help you have a natural birth.
That’s why I’ve put together a class on how to handle labor pain - naturally.
Before I tell you what I’ll cover in the class, I want to be up front with you. I am not promising a class that gives you the secret to a pain-free labor. I can imagine that’s what we all want, but that’s not what we all get 😉 I have huge amounts of respect for some of the “pain free” methods out there - I have used one of them extensively in my pregnancies and love it. But I still think birth is intense even if I want to avoid using the word pain. And frankly, I don’t think we need to avoid that word.
See, I love seeing women succeed - I especially get a thrill from cheering on female athletes and female entrepreneurs. Those women are amazing! And one thing I’ve noticed while watching them is that they realize what they’re doing is going to take a lot of work. And that’s incredible. They know it may not always be “comfortable” and certainly not “easy.”
Sometimes they get in the zone, they hit that flow, and it is easy. But sometimes they just have to work to get to the top.
Childbirth is like that. Why do we cheer on athletes... Why do we root for the woman-driven startups... why do we tell them to keep going through all their challenges...
But when a woman wants a natural birth, we tell her to get the drugs. Or we just tell her that she’s got to avoid the pain in one way or another?
I am not afraid to tell you that You. Are. Amazing. You can DO THIS even if it’s tough.
So I won’t pretend that I can take all the pain away.
But I can show you how to get through your birthing time - if it hurts a little, if it hurts a lot, if it doesn’t hurt at all and feels fantastic.
It doesn’t matter. This class is going to show you what to do during labor so that you get from start to finish without needing to call in the epidural squad.
Here's what you'll discover:
This is a super-focused class where I’m going to teach you exactly what to do to handle pain in labor, naturally. I’ll cover all your options - and I’ll cover which ones actually work. I’m going to walk you through the entire labor process, beginning to end. You will literally be ready to waltz your baby down and out 😉
This dedicated class is going to teach you what you need to know about handling labor pain naturally – and what to do if you feel like you can't do it anymore. This is information that every mom-to-be needs! I usually charge one-on-one clients $300 an hour to walk them through this information and these steps. This class is an hour long, complete with handouts, cheat sheets, and the chance to ask me questions - that would be $300+ if you were to work with me one-on-one.
However, because this class isn't live, I decided to price it at $97... my typical recorded class rate. Then I realized that I need to get this into the hands of as many mamas as possible, so I brought the price to $47 $27
