The Birth + Parenting Preparation Journey: a two-part, retreat-style experience for couples who want to get on the same page as they prepare for parenthood!

Enroll Now

You want a natural birth, but you also want to know what it actually takes to get there.

You don’t want fluff, and you don’t want fear, you want info, tools, and an experience that helps you feel ready.

You want to understand what happens to your body during birth — physically, mentally, and emotionally — and how to work with it instead of against it.

You want your partner to know how to help, not just to be there, but to play an active role in supporting, protecting, and grounding you.

You want to feel like a team.

Because birth shouldn’t just happen to you, it should be something you are fully present for, something you lead with awareness, confidence, and trust.

Aligned and Thriving is a two-part, retreat-style experience for couples who want to prepare together — for birth, and for everything that comes after.

You’ll learn how natural birth unfolds, how to protect your space and your rhythm, what to do if plans change, and how to stay connected no matter what happens.

Then you’ll carry that preparation forward into the fourth trimester — those first raw, beautiful, challenging weeks of newborn life — with real tools, honest insight, and a plan that keeps you both steady.

This is prenatal education that goes beyond theory.

It’s about turning knowledge into practice, fear into confidence, and two people into a unified team — ready for birth and a beautiful parenthood.

In the journey, you will learn:

  • Everything you need to know about how your body works from pregnancy to postpartum

  • How to intentionally set the goal of and achieve a natural, vaginal birth

  • How you and your partner can protect your hormones, your energy, and your flow

  • How to stay in the portal, leaning fully into the sensations of birth

  • Ways to connect deeply with your baby and your partner

  • How to cope with contractions from start to finish - including pushing positions

  • How to navigate the medical system (if you want/need to) with confidence and advocacy

  • How to immediately care for your newborn and yourself post-birth.

  • Real life ways to prepare your body, mind, and spirit to give birth and parent on your own terms

Aligned and Thriving is your invitation to trust your body, connect with your baby, and co-create your birth experience with your partner. Think women’s wisdom meets modern practice, meets energy work. You step full into your power as a birthing parent and your partner steps fully into theirs.

Are you ready to journey through the birth portal together?

Get Started!

This is your story.

Your birth.

Your becoming.

Aligned & Thriving is a two-part, retreat-style workshop series for couples who want to feel confident, connected, and deeply grounded as they move through the birth and postpartum journey.

You can take each on its own — or step fully in with the full journey:

  • Aligned + Ready (Birth Preparation – November 30, 2025)

  • The Fourth Trimester (Postpartum Preparation – December 14, 2025)

Together, they offer the kind of preparation that doesn’t just fill your head with facts — it strengthens your relationship, steadies your body, and deepens your trust in what you already know.

This journey is for couples who are:

  • Ready to fully show up for the birth experience - start to finish.
    You’re not looking to hand your power over to a system. You want to understand what’s happening in your body, recognize what’s normal, and make informed choices with confidence.

  • Committed to preparing your body, mind, and energy together.
    You’re ready to learn practical comfort measures, hands-on techniques, and breathing practices while deepening your emotional and energetic connection as a couple.

  • Open to embracing discomfort, intensity, and transformation.
    You know birth and postpartum will stretch you, and you want real tools for grounding, regulating, and finding your rhythm through it.

  • Ready to work as a team.
    You want your partner to know exactly what to do: how to support you physically, how to advocate when you can’t speak, and how to protect the calm and safety of your space.

  • Done with the system’s one-size-fits-all approach.
    You want to feel clear on when intervention is necessary, and when to trust your body. You want to leave knowing how to navigate the system without losing your center.

  • Craving guidance that’s both practical and deeply human.
    You’re looking for something that helps you prepare for both the logistics and the feeling of it all, how to stay connected through the intensity, how to recover, and how to meet parenthood as a grounded team.

  • Not for those looking to skip ahead or check a box.
    This isn’t a PowerPoint or a hospital class. It’s for couples who want to be transformed by this season, who are ready to prepare consciously, together.

SAVE YOUR SEAT

Dads,

No more feeling helpless or unsure.

You’ll learn what to do, when to do it, and how to stay connected through every contraction and every late-night feed.
