Childbirth education & prenatal support

Serving expectant families in the Inland Empire, Southern California.

You were designed for Birth

I believe God designed women with remarkable strength and resilience, creating our bodies to be perfectly equipped for childbirth. My mission is to challenge misconceptions about birth and the body, eliminate fear, and shift the narrative surrounding birth. Through education and compassionate support, I hope to empower you to trust your body, make informed choices, embrace your strength, and approach birth with confidence and peace.

Hello and welcome!

I’m Rachel, A Certified childbirth educator and birth doula.

My desire is to provide a space where you can learn about the natural process of birth, find community, and feel peace, calm, and even excitement as you approach your birthing experience. I am excited to work with you!

HYPNOBIRTHING

HypnoBirthing® is a tried and proven technique that guides and prepares a woman to give birth peacefully. Techniques that can be used during labor and birth at any birthing location: home, hospital, or at a birth center. It is a program that considers the psychological, as well as the physical, well-being of the mother, her birth partner, and the newborn. You will learn special breathing techniques, relaxation, visualizations, and more. This class will leave you feeling excited about your birth journey!

PRENATAL SUPPORT

Maybe you don’t have time to attend a full childbirth education course. Maybe a doula is out of your budget or you already have the support you need for your birth, but you are still wanting personalized support and education to get you ready for birth and postpartum. Contact me to learn more! (No on call labor support available at this time)

My FOCUS:

  • What you believe about birth is the foundation for an empowering birth experience. My focus is to help you shift the perception of labor from a painful, frightening event to a process that the body is naturally designed to handle with confidence and calm.

  • Knowledge is crucial, as it empowers women to make informed decisions, reduce fear, and manage expectations in birth. Understanding your body and the process of birth fosters a calm mindset and creates a sense of control, leading to a more positive and trusting birth experience.

  • Both a positive mindset and knowledge paired together create a confident and capable mother, who is sure of herself and her body in birth. This confidence transcends into postpartum and beyond. My goal is to help you get here!

take the first step towards a positive and empowering birth experience.
