"The opponent within one's own head is more formidable than the one on the other side of the net”.
Tim Gallwey
Although labeled "Natural," giving birth and becoming a parent is the most challenging human experience there is.
Matrescence is challenging and scary. This transformation is hormone-dominant, body-altering, irreversible, confidence-challenging, and identity-shifting.
Our changing bodies and the baby growing inside our bellies reveal our magnificence and insecurities -in equal measure. The cultural and medical circumstances surrounding us from about seven weeks of pregnancy aamplify our fears, tapping into our insecurities, self-limitng beliefs and internal resistance to encounter what the process confronts us with.
It takes EVERYTHING to stay empowered and confident throughout this utmost transformation in human lives.
We can befriend the transformation, with its sensations, unpredictability, and unknown aspects, only through authentic discovery of who we are and what we internally resist. Once we embrace that childbirth calls us to wake up, grow up, and show up, our mindset will be ready to embrace our body's full potential and shift from fear reaction to confidence creation and taking charge throughout childbearing.
Transformational Birth Support Coaches have emerged with recognition of this internal work to lead those undergoing their childbearing process to overcome their fear reaction and internal resistance, undo limiting beliefs, increase confidence and develop internal authority and a sense of agency, so they can achieve their positive and desired childbearing experiences.
Our programs are game-changing! The coaching models, strategies and exercises you'll learn will help you gain impact and income while changing people's lives.
Our programs provide CEUs for ALL birth support pros and L&D RNs.

Words from my 🤍
I felt defeated and heartbroken as a birth worker - doula, and childbirth educator when my clients didn't experience their desired childbirth experiences. I was ready to quit and give up my passion for supporting expectant people. But then...
I found transformational coaching and immediately knew I must integrate the coaching strategies into birth support. I've been fortunate to publish The Art of Coaching for Childbirth in 2016 and lead a global movement of birth workers who adopt the prenatal and postpartum coaching framework I've developed, leading their clients to greater results.
I believe birth workers must take a leadership position as prenatal and postpartum coaches to gain impact and thrive in their practices. This spirit guides all the programs offered by the Birth Coach Method.
To Healthy Birth on Earth!
