Rise Rooted
1-Year Personalized Mentoring and Support for Birth and Beyond
Birth Deserves Intentional Preparation
I designed this program with this in mind; a program to offer a complete childbirth education that focuses on purposeful preparation for the whole journey. But I wanted to take it a step further, and create a space for women who are looking for connection and support as they travel this path into motherhood and build a program that integrates education with personalized mentoring and support.
We will go on a journey together throughout your pregnancy, and explore:
Physiologic birth
The choices and considerations along the way
How to make decisions that are based in evidence AND your values
How to prepare your body and mind for the journey
How to build your dream-team to support you
But we will also take it deeper than that. We will talk about the many initiations a woman goes through during this time. And we will create opportunities to explore and reflect, and gain new insights into your intuition.
Pregnancy, birth and becoming a mother is a year-long rite of passage. One deserving of reverence and support.
Program Structure
We will meet for an initial 30-minute chat to discuss the program and how I can best walk beside you throughout your pregnancy journey.
Over the course of your pregnancy, we will meet both in-person in your home and over Zoom to explore various themes and topics to help you travel through this journey with more insight and wholeness. These sessions provide an intimate space for open dialogue, learning, personal exploration and reflection.
You will also have access to me for personalized mentoring and support over text, phone and email throughout your pregnancy and during the fourth trimester.
There are also monthly Community Zoom classes for bringing all of the mothers I am working with together, where various holistic providers will share their wisdom.
Through it all, you will learn to tap more deeply into your intuition and knowledge so that you can find your own unique power and voice, make choices that are right for you, take action, advocate for yourself, and stand in your authority as the mother.
I will continue to be a resource and support for you during your postpartum and we will meet to process your birth.
I am always only a text away.
The journey to motherhood and beyond is a complex experience, especially since it continues to evolve over time. I want you to be ready for this mighty journey, and offer a safe place for you to come and be your authentic self.
