If you’re pregnant and wondering whether you really have what it takes to give birth without medical pain relief, you are not alone.
In fact, you’re exactly the kind of person I created my childbirth education classes for.

Maybe you’ve heard stories of intense pain, of women “giving up” on their birth plans, or of epidurals that felt like a lifesaver. And maybe there’s a tiny (or not-so-tiny) voice in your head whispering, “What if I can’t handle it?”

Let’s talk about that voice.

The Fear Factor

Fear is one of the biggest contributors to pain during labor. It tenses your body, shortens your breath, and makes your muscles fight the very process your body is working so hard to complete. And when fear takes over, the likelihood of interventions—like epidurals, Pitocin, or even cesarean birth—tends to rise right along with it.

But here’s the good news: Fear isn’t something you’re stuck with. It’s something you can work through—especially when you understand what’s happening in your body and have real, practical tools to cope.

“But I Don’t Know How to Manage That Kind of Pain…”

That’s where education changes everything. When you learn the mechanics of how birth works—how your uterus contracts, how your cervix opens, how your baby navigates the pelvis—it doesn’t just sound like a science lesson. It starts to feel like something you can do.

And when you pair that knowledge with breathing techniques, pain relief tools, and labor positions that actually help, you stop feeling like a passive patient waiting for help. You become an active participant in your birth.

What You’ll Learn in My Workshop

In my Lamaze-based childbirth education classes, I teach practical, proven techniques that give you options—not just ideas.

You’ll learn:

• How breathing can lower your pain and calm your nervous system

• Labor positions that help baby move down and out (and ease discomfort!)

• Hands-on pain relief tools you and your partner can practice together

• How to prepare your mind for birth—not just your body

• What to do when doubt creeps in, even mid-labor

And we’ll talk about epidurals, too. Because being informed means knowing all your options—including when pain medication might be the best choice for you.

But my goal?
Is that you walk into your birth with confidence, not fear. That you say, “I know how to manage this,” rather than, “I hope I can handle it.”

You Were Made for This—And You Don’t Have to Go It Alone

Birth doesn’t have to be scary. And it definitely doesn’t have to be something you just “get through.” It can be something that transforms you, strengthens you, and shows you just how powerful you really are.

You don’t need to be superhuman to birth without an epidural.
You just need knowledge, support, and tools that actually work.

Join my next class and let’s get you ready—not just for labor, but for the moment you say, “I DID it.”

With love, 

Your doula,
