Peaceful, Confident Birth—Rooted in Faith, Guided by the Spirit
Overcome fear and doubt so that you can confidently trust your body, surrender to God, and embrace the journey he has for you as you enter motherhood
Birth isn’t just about bringing new life into the world — it’s the sacred moment where God rebirths strength, confidence, and motherhood within you.
Unfortunately, most women go into labor worried about pain or feeling trapped by fear, whether from past trauma, cultural messaging, or the horror stories they’ve heard. Birth can feel unfamiliar, uncertain, and even overwhelming.
But birth was never meant to be feared. It’s part of God’s divine design, a process that shapes so much more than one day. How you give birth impacts your breastfeeding journey, your mental health, your confidence as a mother, and even your baby’s nervous system.
Birth is a holy place, the place where you learn sacrifice, surrender, and full reliance on God, the very qualities essential for motherhood.
So how do we get there, when it all feels so scary and foreign? We remember this truth: You were never meant to be bound by fear. God has given you authority over it. He invites you into this sacred experience with His presence and peace. He will never leave you unprotected or without strength. As a daughter of God, your inheritance is peace.
Why is it so hard to go natural without an epidural, and why do so many women have traumatic births?
Because of FEAR.
A peaceful, worshipful birth doesn’t happen by chance, BECAUSE it’s in contrast to the fear-based approach our medical systems and culture take toward birth.
SO, UNLESS you have people on your team who truly align with your beliefs, your care almost certainly will be fear-driven (whether or not you are aware of it).
This breaks my heart because it wasn’t meant to be like this.
When women labor in a space where they feel safe to move, make noise freely, and make decisions that feel right for them, something powerful happens:
Mothers are transformed
Marriages are strengthened
Generational family lines are forever changed

I’m obsessed with helping moms have their dream births because your birth story will change you!
Since the beginning of 2023, I’ve helped over 100 women through their birth journey, and each one of these births has taught me, not only how incredible women are, but also how sacred birth is!! As I sit with women through labor, when the Spirit of the Lord is invited in, let me tell you, His presence is so near!
In a world where birth is overmedicalized, fear and anxiety are ramped. But no matter what type of birth a woman wants to have, I believe it is important to protect her space, advocate for her, and hold space for God to move (and this is what I get most excited about)!
