INTRODUCING...

EMPOWERED BEGINNINGS:

 

Your Comprehensive Guide for an Autonomous, Confident, Empowering Birth Experience

 

A comprehensive childbirth class and guide, designed to empower new and expecting parents. (You know... the part the other classes leave out)

You’ll walk away with a “Birth Toolbox” - a wealth of education, and real-life practical tools, all aimed at equipping you with the confidence needed to stack the odds in your favor for the most positive, empowering experience possible.

Discover what an Autonomous birth would feel like… having the self-confidence and trust to make the best decisions for YOU, based on your personal wants, goals, and circumstances, because you took a class that's rooted in navigating the medical system, knowing your options, and choosing what's best for you- with no motives, no biases.

It’s time to simplify your preparation, remove the overwhelm, so you can start feeling prepared, confident and EXCITED for the day you’ll meet your baby- knowing you'll have all the tools you need every step of the way!

"I had the most amazing, unmedicated VBAC. I call it my 'redemption birth'! The education, resources and support Paige provided me with helped immensely. I went to the hospital relaxed and prepared"

 
Alyssa R. Second time Mom

"Paige gave me SOO many tools, resources, new skills and most importantly- the positive mindset I needed to go into birth and have the birth I desired! I achieved the birth of my dreams! It was calm, relaxing, and medication free!"

I'm Ready for a Birth Like That Too!

A birth with less pain... is it really possible?

 Okay, let me put it like this...

Let's say you're a huge football fan, and your favorite team is playing in the Superbowl.

It's a tie game, and your favorite player on the team just wins the game winning touchdown!

You JUMP up and smash your toe on the coffee table- but you don't even recognize it. You're too busy cheering and celebrating with everyone.

Now let's say it's a week later... You're running late for work. The dog is barking to go out. You can't find your keys, and you're frantic. In the midst of running around everywhere, you smash your toe on that coffee table. 

... But this time, you are screaming and cursing in pain.

The SAME exact thing happened... right? But your response and your pain level were MUCH different.

Why? You PERCEIVED the experience differently.

Your mentality, emotions, the environment all changed the way you felt, and the pain you experienced.

And we can use that SAME concept about perception to CHANGE the way you experience BIRTH! (and literally anyone can do it!)

OMG Yes, I'm Ready to DO This!

Are you ready...

To know exactly how to handle the pain and intensity of labor and fully believe that you're capable of handing anything. No freak-outs. No wishing you would have done more to prepare.

To have less anxiety approaching your birth and the tools to carry that calm energy through your entire motherhood journey. Giving you the freedom to spend your energy on the things that really matter.

To look back on your birth experience with a huge smile on your gorgeous (and exhausted) face knowing that it all unfolded perfectly because you prepared in the best way possible.

 

PLUS you'll get all my strategies and tips to make pain-coping practice

EASY, and even... fun!

PLUS all the handouts you'll ever need to put what you learn here to good use!

 

AND THAT'S JUST THE START

This is Exactly What I need!

Educate, Equip, Empower:

 

It's more than just a course; it's a transformative experience that prepares you for one of life's most remarkable journeys.

 

You're getting the practical tools and skills in a step-by-step process to walk you through the thing MOST childbirth classes leave out... which is how to take what you know, and actually use it to create a positive, empowered experience out of it.

"With Paige's helped my boyfriend and I fell confident in our decisions, never trying to sway us into a certain decision, but rather providing us with the information so we could choose what was best for us. Paige helped me feel confident and relaxed, and trust that my body would do exactly what it needed to. Even though I ended up changing some of my preferences, I felt confident in my choices, and felt like my birth went exactly how it was meant to (even if it wasn't what I originally wanted). I wouldn't have changed any part of my beautiful experience. "

 
Kellie K. First Time Mom

"Paige absolutely helped me better prepare my mind and body going into labor my second time around. Labor comes with a lot of anticipatory anxiety (and I had tons), but there is so much you can to do prepare for a, yes- hard event and recovery. She helped me see that to be true. One of my biggest anxieties was having another long labor. My first was 29 hours. God might've been listening too well. I dilated to 10cm in just one hour of contractions beginning. My husband and I were better advocated because of our work with Paige. I'm forever grateful for my experience."
