"What a wonderful experience working with Heather. She is kind, patient, and very organized which I appreciated. Her course was so helpful as a first time Mom and she explained things that will help me throughout my pregnancy and natural birth.

"Heather is wonderful to work with. She is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to...She answered all my questions, [including] on things I didn’t even know I needed to know about. Definitely recommend...working with her to gain the tools and knowledge you need to have the birthing experience you are looking for!"

Joyful Birth

How did I come to teaching about joyful birth?

My first birth experience was anything but joyful.

I had a smooth natural birth at a beautiful birth center, but it felt emotionally traumatizing. I was left exhausted and wondering how our species has managed to procreate for so long!

I'm not the sort to give up easily though.

After finding closure from that first birth experience (which included acknowledging and naming the emotion I harbored deep down: failure. Failure at achieving the "peaceful" birth I'd hoped for after taking a hypnobirthing class), I dived back in.

I found resources for clearing fears and healing trauma. I heard women from all over the world speaking of a side to birth that I had never heard of outside of hypnobirthing before - of the innate beauty of the birth process, and the power of connecting to our bodies through it. Before even getting pregnant again, I began to learn to connect to my body and find immediate physical healing from that alone.

Throughout my next pregnancy, I studied Birth Dance and countless other tools. When labor finally began, I felt confident and unafraid. That second birth was an incredibly positive, empowering experience as I worked with my baby to bring her earthside.

Perhaps even more incredible was how much that second birth impacted my life afterward. I found myself with new strength to conquer old weaknesses - things I had worked so hard to overcome and just couldn't. The incredible accomplishment of that second birth - and all the whole-body, wholehearted effort it required - gave me the strength I needed to make leaps and bounds forward in the rest of my life. This led to greater peace and happiness in my home and relationships.

The process continues. I continue to learn, and I continue to reach new and higher levels of understanding and joy than I ever imagined before. I'm here to share that vision with you too.

There is SO MUCH potential for beauty, growth and joy in our pregnancy and birth experience (as well as all of the experiences unique to womanhood.)

I support women by sharing the best resources I have found, as well as my own personally curated programs, courses, and sessions that combine the best in emotional, physical, and spiritual tools. You are supported here in the process of finding your own wholeness and your own Joyful Birth.
