Classes to help you prepare!
Hi, I’m Traci! When I was pregnant with my first baby (28years ago), I was young and scared. I was treated like a child and told I didn’t know anything. I was belittled, coerced, and made to feel like I was someone other than someone in control of their birth. I “fell” into the system not knowing what I didn’t know.
While educating myself for the birth of my next baby 15 months later, I was determined to find education that was evidence based to make decisions for my birth and what was best for my baby which was the missing piece of the first birth. I was shocked and angered that I wasn’t shown my options for a better birth. I realized during this time that if I couldn’t find this information, others were probably having a hard time too.
This is the reason I dove into guiding families to having empowering births of their own. So many times, I speak with pregnant people who are frustrated with wishing they knew more. Whether giving birth for the first time or planning the next, do not find yourself falling into the system.
The Doula Insights Childbirth Class will give you the confidence, education, and tools you need to have the empowering birth you want. I am so excited to mentor you through this process towards this goal.
