The Built To Birth course gave me the education I needed to go into my doctor’s apportionments prepared on what to ask.
You don’t know what you don’t know and this course was so informational but also encouraging and empowering for me to have the best experience possible with birthing my baby.
I highly recommend all moms to be (first or not first baby) to take this course!

I went into labor on my due date with full intentions to deliver my baby boy naturally. If you ask anyone they would tell you I was extremely afraid of having an epidural because I was afraid of becoming paralyzed (funny how our minds go to the extreme)! Little did I know, it would take 47 hours to birth my little fella! After 40 hours of labor and my baby’s heart rate dropping with every contraction and my dwindling strength to continue to cope with the surges, Plan B was initiated for my baby’s safety. I was getting an epidural.
We later found out the Umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck and each contraction tightened it due to My lack of energy to breathe through the surges. BUT!! I could only get the epidural because of your fear clearing worksheet! It really helped me get to the bottom of my fears and prioritize mine and my baby’s health and safety. Also, being prepared with plan b and plan c was a life savor because once I made those plans I knew I would have to seriously consider them as options if the occasion arose. In the first 40 hours all I listened to were your meditations. (The last 7 all I did was sleep!) There was one for every moment and they helped me channel my inner strength.
With this class and having these tools, my long labor and the use of my back-up plans, I can still say I loved my birth! It was a magical experience and I can’t wait for the next! Thank you,
MORGAN
I have always been the type who said that I wanted an epidural right away before I start to really feel anything. After watching a few of your videos I soon came to realize that I really am built to birth! If I didn’t have any medical reason to have pain meds then both baby & I were both better off.
Your birth course not only helped me with my confidence, but also helped me during as I listened to the birth meditations during active/transition labor. You really helped make for such a positive birth experience & I can’t thank you enough!
I tell everyone I know about your birth course & YouTube channel so that others can have an empowering birth experience just like I did. Thank you for all that you do & the wonderful videos you make! Your birth course prepared me for the best day of my life.

At 38 weeks my placenta ruptured, causing my water to break, and resulting in me losing a lot of blood. My husband called 911 and I was taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital, where I went into emergency delivery. It was a very different environment compared to the birthing center I was planning on delivering at. I was at a hospital I had never been to before, with doctors and nurses I had never met.
With the placenta losing so much blood I was immediately given an epidural, incase the need for c-section arose. Without the help of your course I know I would have been an absolute mess of emotions and riddled with anxiety. But remembering to focus on breathing, and trust my body and my baby, I was able to give birth to my son after only 9 short hours of labor and 20 minutes of pushing.
A labor and delivery that most hear and think it sounds scary, I see as so empowering, and beautiful. I know I couldn't have done it without the tools you provided in your birth course. Especially the meditation soundtracks, that I was reciting in my head as I was getting ready to push. I am so thankful for you, and the positive birthing tools you are providing for women all over the world.

I had to have 2 blood transfusions due to tearing with my first baby and she was 7.11lbs.... this lil guy was 10.4 lbs and I needed no stitches because we used your breathing techniques and my husband knew what to say to keep me calm.
The nurse at the hospital asked us what we did to prepare because she couldn't believe how well we worked as a team and had so much calmness. We told her about the Built To Birth course. I also listened to your meditations the entire time.
Honestly a dream birth.

Had my beautiful 9lb 13oz baby girl, vaginally, on New Year's Day at 42w4d and I didn't even tear!
Kept being told my baby was "too big" and my pelvis said "I'll show them" & God created women's bodies so wonderfully for the job!
