In fact, it's not unusual to feel ripped-off, sad, angry, relieved and even happy to know when your pregnancy will be over.

I'm so sick of hearing people say,

You had a c-section so you didn't really give birth.

Fuck. That.

As a labour and delivery nurse and doula, I'm here to tell you that it's not only birth, but it's the hardest way to have a baby.

As a woman who's had two cesearean, I can confirm that I understand the anxiety and worry you're feeling about your planned c-section.

So, I created a completely free info-series to help you feel more in control of your birth experience.

Caesarean: A Unique Way to Have a Baby

Having a cesarean is a unique way to have a baby, to say the least. You probably won’t find all the information you need in a traditional birth class to help you feel confident that you're ready.

And those books that you’re ready to click-click-ship? They just don’t give you strategies to embrace the cesarean experience and make it positive.

There's Good News...

That’s why I created a FREE c-section info series.

This simple, 3-day email series will cover the most important aspects of your cesarean.

(I didn't wanna overwhelm you, so it's short, sweet and to-the-point.)

From birth planning to postpartum recovery, you’ll get an overview of the information you need to feel fully empowered throughout this unique birth experience.

Why Bother When I Can Just Google it?

I get it. The urge to hit the interwebs for information is strong! But the problem is that you may not find reliable facts to help you prepare for major abdominal surgery that also gives you a sweet little newborn.

Here’s what’s included in the FREE series:

1. Packing Your Birth Bag

I'm not just talking about stuff for the baby when it comes to packing your hospital bag. You're gonna have some special needs after your baby is born, and I want you to be extra prepared.

As a nurse, I've had 22 years of experience helping women recover from cesareans so I've got some inside insights for you!

2. Birth Planning

Not only am I gonna teach you what your options are for a c-section, I'm also helping you decide what's most important to you.

A lot of people look at birth plans as a way of setting themselves up for disappointment when things don't go their way, but I see it more as a way of learning what's possible!

Let's be honest- the operating room is a cold, scary environment and as soon as you step into it for your cesarean you'll probably feel really vulnerable. The time to decide what you want to have a positive experience is before you even enter that room!

3. Postpartum Planning

I've given birth four times so I know where your head's at right now, Mama. You're thinking about all the things you're gonna need to go home with a helpless, tiny newborn.

After having two c-sections of my own let me tell you: all the baby gadgets, cute clothes and newborn photo sessions aren't gonna help you recover from major surgery.

In this part of the free info-series, I'm gonna get you thinking about all the ways you'll benefit from prepping to go home with a sweet new baby AND a c-section scar.
