(Feel better in a matter of days and watch your confidence soar!)
Rebecca had a confident, peaceful water birth with her first baby.
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!"

Take a peek at two of my favorite components of MamaBaby Birthing®:
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...
Cristina
Sam had a quick, easy third birth after a traumatic first birth and an emergency c-section for her second birth.
"Kristen.
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.

About Your Childbirth Coach
Hi, I'm Kristen! It's nice to meet you :D
I've been writing and teaching about natural birth for over 15 years, and I've had my own eight babies naturally (that's Phoenix, #8, in the picture with me).
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!
You Have Questions...
I have answers...
A natural childbirth class is a class that focuses on preparing you for a vaginal childbirth without medications or unnecessary interventions such as labor induction. MamaBaby Birthing classes focus on keeping you healthy throughout pregnancy, which means your body is ready for labor and your baby is strong and healthy. The classes build on this solid foundation with information about labor and birth, how it progresses, and how your body opens. The class covers solid techniques for keeping labor moving, what to do about labor pain, and how to have a safe birth for your baby. Bonding, overcoming anxieties, good baby positioning, trusting your body, and more are also covered in our online natural birthing classes.
Choosing a midwife is a great first step towards natural birth. I used a midwife for all of my babies – and I had them all at home! I’m a believer in natural birth, no matter where you give birth. Having said that, there’s a big difference between prepared natural birth and just having labor start and hoping for the best. When you prepare for birth you clear away issues that could come up during birthing (and even stall your labor). You truly understand your body, so you’re free to trust it and your baby. And you have a whole host of birth skills (techniques) that have become natural, instinctive, and easy to use when you need them. Your midwife and home birth are perfect compliments for your beauty and power as a prepared birthing woman.
Enrollment for my classes is always open because this is a self-paced online childbirth class. I recommend you plan to begin MamaBaby Birthing around the beginning of your third trimester, but many of my students want to start much earlier! Since classes are self-paced and membership is unlimited, you may repeat any lessons you want to as you get closer to your due date. If you’re already near your due date just let me know and I’ll point you to the MamaBaby Birthing Crash Course materials - available in the deluxe course ;)
Classes are self-paced, so you can go through at the rate that feels right for you. There are homework assignments with some of the lessons, such as keeping a food diary. These assignments are not mandatory, but completing them helps you become more aware of your body, and they help you build a healthy baby and prepare for a safe birth. If you're in the deluxe class, I hold live classes you can attend to get questions answered - and you have a recording available if you can't make it live!
MamaBaby Birthing classes are a custom-designed natural birthing class. I created them based on my own experience birthing 8 babies naturally, working with mamas and families as a childbirth educator for the last 15 years, assisting at more than two dozen births, and with continuous feedback from students in my classes. My classes focus on healthy and enjoyable pregnancy, healthy babies, and conscious, aware birthing.
You receive full access to the private MamaBaby Birthing course website, which contains all class audio, video, and written material in digital format. Additionally, you can download all class materials to store on your computer, and to listen to or read on your phone, iPad, or tablet. You also get access to group classes if you choose the deluxe course. If you choose MamaBaby Rising, you get unlimited voice chat access to Kristen for personal support whenever you need it!
You and your partner choose how to work through the classes together. You can both listen to the class sessions, or just have your partner listen to certain sessions. MamaBaby Birthing classes do cover partner involvement in-depth; there’s a nice balance of lessons that offer practical information for your partner and classes that are designed specifically for you as the birthing mother.
Though many hospital instructors are dedicated to providing great information on labor and birth, their classes are not geared to families planning a natural birth experience. MamaBaby Birthing students make a wide variety of choices and give birth at home, in birth centers, and at the hospital. Hospital classes give a few tips on breathing and relaxation and then cover all the medications you can use when “natural” techniques don’t work. My classes focus first on the health of you and your baby, because healthy mothers and babies have great natural births. Then my classes teach you not only what happens during labor and birth, but how to keep labor moving, how to understand what your baby needs you do to be born… and exactly what to do if labor does feel overwhelming at a given point – without drugs.
This is one of the most common questions I get :) YES! You can start preparing for a healthy pregnancy now, and the information on pregnancy in my classes will get you started. Your MamaBaby Birthing membership is a lifetime membership, so you can go through the classes now and come back to them at any point in your pregnancy. If you choose MamaBaby Complete Support, I'll support you as you TTC and through your pregnancy.
Yes! The classes come with a complimentary copy of my 7 Steps to a Successful VBAC eBook and I have a detailed lesson for VBAC mamas. I have found that moms planning a VBAC often take advantage of class calls and email consultation to help prepare themselves mentally and emotionally. Processing your past birth experience (or experiences) is usually important for VBAC moms and between my lessons on emotional preparation and my personal help, VBAC moms feel prepared and ready for great births (and I love getting the VBAC birth stories!)
I hold live group calls each month for deluxe course students - you’re welcome to ask any questions you have live on the call. If you’re listening in via online streaming you can type in your question for me to answer live on the call. If you know you can't make it live, you can email me your question ahead of time! If you choose MamaBaby Rising, you have access to the group calls - AND you get unlimited voice chat access to me for personal support throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Both have advantages. If you have an independent natural childbirth instructor in your area, live classes can offer you the chance to meet like-minded parents and interact with an instructor face-to-face. Online classes give you the option of a self-paced class that fits into your busy schedule. Additionally, my online birth course offers monthly group calls, so you can interact with me, get answers to your questions, and get in-depth information on topics important to pregnancy, birth, and parenting. If you choose MamaBaby Complete support, I personally answer all your questions when you have them (and as often as you have them). I’m also happy to help you compile evidence-based research to facilitate informed, respectful discussion with your doctor, midwife, or hospital team.
Natural childbirth can be intense and even painful at times. MamaBaby Birthing classes are respectful of how you want to think about birth – lessons generally use language that does not focus birth being “painful” but rather a process you work through with your baby. Having said that, I believe that moms (and partners) need practical techniques to work through labor and all that comes with it, so there are plenty of strategies to help you handle all the feelings of giving birth, and even techniques for getting back in control when you feel like you’re “losing it.” I’ve given birth eight times and believe in giving practical information that works so mothers and babies have a safe, satisfying natural birth.
What are you waiting for?
Be calm and completely prepared for your baby's birth!
