Self Advocacy and Creating Your Desired Birth Path Begins with the Radically Brave Birthing Course!
What is the Radically Brave Birthing Course?
Throughout this 4-week series, you will begin to design and envision every aspect of your desired birth plan. This class is NOT me telling you how you should choose to birth but rather, guiding your down the path to your dream birth!
This class is a full spectrum of education from hospital birth to home birth, self advocacy via informed consent and knowing your rights, in depth education on the vagus nerve and how to down regulate your nervous system in pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, fitness and nutrition in pregnancy and postpartum, how to choose your birth team, drugs and interventions, non-medical pain management, postpartum planning and recovery, and newborn care.
Once we’ve completed this 4-week series, you will have access to me via email and text to answer any questions or concerns that may come up for the remainder of your pregnancy and into the first 6-weeks postpartum!
Testimonials
When I found out I was pregnant with my first child I knew I was going to need advice and support from someone as I knew nothing about birth or babies. (I literally had never changed a diaper before). I immediately reached out to Emily to inquire about virtual coaching. I’ve known Emily for years and have always valued her knowledge and approach to birth immensely. She suggested her prenatal class and I signed up right away. What was most important for me was acquiring all the information so I could make informed decisions about what I wanted for my birth. Through Emily’s prenatal birth class, I gained just that. From exercise and nutrition for Mom, to OB and hospital procedures/practices, to breathing techniques and the phases of labor, and everything between, Emily ensured I felt prepared. Equally as important, I felt safe and supported by Emily. Her main goal was making sure myself and everyone in the class felt confident to ask for the birth experience that felt right for us. Her nonjudgmental approach provided a safe space for me to chat freely with her about what I wanted, fears, all the questions, misconceptions around birth, etc. Additionally, Emily taught me, and continues to remind me that my intuition about my child is on point. That I should trust my gut and be confident in myself as a mother. I highly recommend this class for anyone- whether it’s your first birth like me or your 10th, this class will provide you with levels of knowledge and support that will get you ready for one of the most magical experiences of your life. - Rachel A.
“I have been following Emily for quite some time. She has always posted birth content that really resonated with me and my beliefs about how capable women are. When I saw she was offering a birth course, I signed up right away even though this would be my 4th birth. You can never know enough and Emily had some pearls of wisdom and amazing evidence based information to share. Everything from education around the vagus nerve to breath techniques, the course was amazing. It was great to hear experiences and questions from other expecting women as well and I think I learned a lot from them too. I would (and already have!) highly recommend this class for anyone, regardless of stage of pregnancy or number of previous births. Plus, as a bonus, Emily is hilarious, kind, generous of spirit and an all around wonderful person to learn from.” - Hayley C.
