How to Give Your Baby the Best Natural Birth Possible
Discover How to Prepare for a
Safe, Successful Natural Birth
Dear Mama-to-Be,
Do you want to have a safe, comfortable and healthy natural birth (but you have more questions than answers!)?
Do you feel like you're getting mixed messages? Some people tell you you'll never make it through birth without pain medications... and other people say "it's just natural - trust your body and you'll be fine."
Some days you feel like a warrior-woman... strong, ready to tackle childbirth, motherhood, and take on the world!
...and other days you think for sure "they're right, I'll never be able to do this!"
In the end, you really need encouragement and support...
...and you really need proven, practical strategies for working with your baby and having a natural birth. After all, you can't just "trust your body" until you know what that means! Don't worry - help is on the way...
You CAN discover how to work with your baby and have a smooth, safe, natural birth
After going through 8 natural births myself, I know exactly what kinds of questions, concerns and worries you have – and exactly what you need to know to put your mind at ease and prepare you for the “dream birth” you want to have.
If the idea of having an experienced natural birthing teacher take you by the hand and show you how to enjoy a healthy pregnancy, a good birth and a happy baby sounds like just what you’ve been looking for, keep reading
This is how to go from hearing "just trust your body" to knowing exactly how to do that...
I want you to enjoy your pregnancy and feel completely confident about your natural birth experience.
After going through the natural birthing process with each of my children, I’ve learned what what works, what doesn’t and what’s most important to know going in.
You Don't Have to be "Lucky" to Have a Good Birth
Birth is about letting your body do what it's designed to...
...and it's about working with your baby while he or she does what s/he is designed to.
Pregnancy is about getting the practical information and proven techniques to make that happen during birth...
...and it's about the sacred journey, the soul-searching, the finding yourself as a beautiful, powerful mother to this new child.
It's 100% True That Your Body Was Made for Birthing - And That Childbirth is Natural!
But do you still feel just a little anxiety when you think about giving birth - or giving birth again? I know I did (okay, okay, I actually felt a lot of anxiety... even fear).
ALSO totally natural! Let me help you out...
...think about breastfeeding. We know that breastfeeding is best, and we know that it's natural. Fortunately, most of us also know that it's something you (and baby) need to learn... it's a "womanly art," right?
Giving birth is the same. You need to learn how childbirth works - and discover practical skills to help you get through ALL of your labor and birth without medications or unnecessary interventions.
That's why I want you to take your time reading through the rest of this page, because this is the critical information you need to know in order to have a safe natural birth.
I've taught this class to hundreds of students who have reported back and told me how much it helped them feel empowered about their birth, work with their partners and midwives to make things go smoothly, and stay calm and control from beginning to end.
And I want the same for you. Right now we're going to go through the details that make the MamaBaby Birthing Class the best online resource you'll ever find to finally answer all your questions and make sense of the conflicting information you may have read about elsewhere.
Remember, you don't have to be "lucky" to have a good birth. You just have to know how to prepare for each step along the way (and what conventional advice you should steer clear from).
The happy and successful outcome of your natural birth is completely within your control. I'm looking forward to showing you how to empower yourself to have a safe birth where you feel calm, confident, and totally prepared.
Rebecca had a confident, peaceful water birth with her first baby.
You are doing such an important job empowering and enlightening women on being able to trust in birth and their bodies to be able to birth their babies. As a result, I have one gorgeous calm & alert little baby. Thanks again."
Michelle Had a Fast, Empowering Hospital Birth
I want to thank you for all the work you put into your birthing class, to empower woman to take control of their bodies and their experience. This was by far the "best" birth experience I have had, out of my 3 births. It wasn't perfect, but I stayed calm and in control the whole time. I got to give birth on my hands and knees, in the peaceful darkness of my room (the OB didn't make it to my birth, or else I wouldn't have had this), AND they delayed little Graces cord clamping. Thank you for all your help providing research for my OB! I couldn't be happier!"

Super quick message.
My baby boy was born yesterday morning.
Amazing !!! Had him in our birth pool, I did it !!!!
Thank you for your guidance......it was all there. I drew on so much from you. It was truly a conscious birth. I thought my way through all of it. I was PRESENT I stayed with my baby. We worked together. I didn't forget or ignore that he was there or what I was doing this for. My scar never hurt me at all , so my body let me know all was fine and I was able to let that go completely and just concentrate on my work.
Much love and blessings to you.

Jennifer felt calm and fearless during her first baby's home birth.
My little Aria Claire was born at home on September 11 four days ago. It was a wonderful experience. As soon as she was out, I was ready to do it all over again. :) I took the MamaBaby Birthing class during pregnancy. It helped this first-time mom feel so prepared and even excited about my birthing time. I had no fear during any part of labor.
I actually reviewed the birthing techniques audio lesson while working through some intense "back labor."
My husband and I found the most effective way for him to apply counter pressure was by literally sitting on my tailbone. Our midwife found that amusing. :)
All the preparation and work was so worth it.
Thank you for the work you do. Please keep changing the world by helping mamas and babies!

MamaBaby Birthing Has Helped Thousands of Families Have a Beautiful Birth:
Hi Kristen,
I just wanted to say thank you again for everything you do for birthing mums out there and what you gave to me through the MamaBaby Birthing course…
Born 6.30pm last night... a little girl.
Magical NZ day with the fam... arrived at the birth centre 6.20pm and gave birth 6.30pm (so sadly no bath) but just a magic experience from start to finish on my baby’s birthday :)
Again thank you xxx
LIBBY G
I am happy to report I had a successful VBAC thanks to Kristen!!! Days of ealy labor, 1/2 day of active labor. 20 minutes of pushing. NO epidural or Pit. Thanks for helping me get through it Kristen!
I really do appreciate your classes. They were our 3rd set of childbirth classes. One hospital class and one other “natural” class and DH and I still learned things we never knew. The best thing I took away is that I was working with my sweet babe and seemed to really understand that I was connecting with her and communicating with her even when she was in utero.
Thanks for being a blessing.
EDWENA
Dear Kristen,
I have a bicornate uterus and I just gave birth to my beautiful baby girl Jane Virginia on February 20. She is my third baby. I've desired a wonderful natural birth experience with all of my babies. It wasn't until I took your course with this pregnancy that I was able to accomplish this. I wish I'd have found you with my first baby!
The whole experience was so peaceful and beautiful! The whole time I heard your voice in my head to "work with my baby" and to get her in the optimal position. In one of your teachings you encouraged visualization of the birth you desire. My birth was almost exactly how I visualized it!
Kristen I can't thank you enough for giving me so so many skills to have a successful beautiful natural birth. You not only gave me skills but a brand new mindset about birth. I was extremely fearful about tearing again, the pain, and losing control and your fear workbook helped me get past these. I felt empowered this time going into birth instead of being terrified. Thank you so much!!!
JANET
I could feel the baby descending into the birth canal. I remembered the whole birth how you talked about working with the baby. I stood in the shower or leaned on the sink for a few contractions. Honestly I pushed maybe three times and she was all the way out safe into the world.
I really wanted to say thank you for all the information about pain and position of the body.
Again thank you so much for sharing important information about birth.
AMY
I liked learning about all the mechanics of how mama and baby work together during labor… and learning how to advocate for myself- knowing what the options are when at the hospital. MamaBaby Birthing helped prepare me for what to expect when my birthing time came - it takes the mystery out of the equation. I also purchased [a hypnosis course]; Kristen's course was different because while the other course had a tone of you can't do this without hypnosis, Kristen's course said you can totally do this!
AMANDA CARELTON
As a birth doula, I wondered if there would be lots of new information or mostly a review of things I already know but I have definitely still learned things from this course - especially about the pelvis.
I thought it was super helpful to see the visual sizes of the servings recommended for things like protein in the nutrition section. I also thought it was helpful to see the visuals of how much the baby rotates through the pelvis during birth.
I appreciate that Kristen is thorough in her teaching but also to the point, the trainings are short enough that they are easy to get through in one sitting but also packed with helpful information. I feel like I am learning from a good friend or a next door neighbor lol, but also from someone who is super experienced and has the knowledge to back up what she is saying.
JESSICA D SMITH
I took a birthing class from MamaBaby Birthing and it was just the best thing I could have done this time around. Visualization and fear releasing made all the difference. My birth happened the way I envisioned right down to our daughter being born during a snow storm. (Oops!)
MELISSA
We wanted to extend a very BIG thank you to you after the birth of our little girl!
All the advice and information that you provided to us during pregnancy and about the birth was extremely beneficial. We really felt that we were prepared going into labor.
And even though the birth did not go to "plan" and we wound up having an emergency c-section after getting to the pushing stage of a long arduous labor, we still felt like we had prepared ourselves for possible complications and we were able to make an informed decision very quickly with little stress. 5 minutes later Órlaith was born! No time was wasted and that was definitely because we had done our homework, faced our fears and already considered what we would do if given this choice.
During the 72 hours of pre-labor / labor, I was able to cope exceeding well due to all your techniques… In fact, when I was admitted to hospital almost fully dilated, the midwives couldn't believe I was in labor since I could I cope well with the pain / rushes. :-)
A very BIG thank you again. We're so happy with our little girl and glad that she's healthy and here!!!
HEATHER RAFFERTY
I wanted to share something I found this past pregnancy that you might be interested in. Kristen Burgess has a WONDERFUL class called Mama Baby Birthing Class. Even though this was my 3rd baby (all natural deliveries), I learned SO much from her and felt so much more confident going into labor/delivery.
LEEANNE TAYLOR
I have really been enjoying your course! I've been a Bradley childbirth instructor for about a year, but I'm pregnant with my 2nd and am really appreciating the chance to review w/an outside source. Not to mention I've been learning a lot of new things too! I appreciate all the hard work that you've put into this course...it is so thorough and full of great information.
THEA GAB
I am so thankful I found your class for this, my third baby. While all were delivered naturally in the hospital, this was my best experience yet because I had so much more information about the hormonal process and felt so prepared.
THANK YOU! :)
ANNA T
Hello Kristen,
I wanted to let you know Thursday morning I finished watching the last of the class and got up about 20 minutes later and my water broke. Just a trickle I had to be induced because I wasn't contracting. Aniya Camille was on the 3rd @7:01am WITH ONE PUSH!
6lbs 1oz 20 " long.
Thank you for the classes the information did help me...

About Your Pregnancy & Birth Coach
Hi, I'm Kristen! It's nice to meet you :D
I've been writing and teaching about natural birth for almost two decades, and I've had my own eight babies naturally (that's Sadie, #7, in the picture with me below).
Each was an incredible experience that taught me a lot - and left me with a passion for helping mamas have healthy babies and wonderful births.
I've assisted at more than two dozen births, attended hundreds of prenatal appointments, and have helped thousands of mamas through my online childbirth course and coaching.
I'm thrilled to be a little part of your birthing and mothering journey!
