During the COVID-19 pandemic, I want as many people as possible to have access to all of my very best tips, tricks and tools that will help to INCREASE CONFIDENCE and COMFORT through the birthing process. For that reason, I'm providing access to my completely online Comfort & Confidence eClass on a pay-what-you-can basis. The full price of this class is $35, but I'm suggesting a $5-10 donation to cover my costs. Free access is available even if you cannot pay anything.

Fresh on the heels of the excitement of your positive pregnancy test, you find out that there is an overwhelming amount of information out there for pregnant people, much of it telling you what you can't eat, can't do, and what you should be worried and afraid about. This class is designed to be taken before 20 weeks of pregnancy when you have the opportunity to set a positive course of hopeful expectations for a healthy pregnancy and a birth that you can look forward to. Learn to distinguish between the real dos and don'ts of pregnancy, set a foundation of appreciating pregnancy and birth as normal life events, surround yourself with positive stories about birth, sharpen your decision making skills and intuition and discover the exercises and practices that you most need to be doing to prepare for birth, but that no one is probably telling you about.

Check out my podcast, Everyday Thin Places, where as a birth worker I join forces with my good friend and interfaith hospice chaplain Rachael Gallagher. In each episode we draw from our experiences supporting birthing people and dying people to explore with honesty, authenticity and humor how we can all become more truly-living people.
