YOUR BIRTH BASICS
 

How labour actually starts, what your body is doing and why, the stages of labour, and how to set up an environment where you can birth with confidence.

TUNING INTO WHAT YOU NEED

How to get out of your head and into your body. Recognizing what feels right for you, making daily decisions with clarity, and staying connected as a couple through pregnancy.

INFORMED CHOICE & NAVIGATING FEAR
Working with fear, understanding your rights, working through common concerns like induction and c-sections, and knowing how to stay grounded when plans change.

INTENTION SETTING CREATING YOUR BIRTH WISHES
How to get clear on what actually matters to you before you're in the room. Build a birth plan and intentions that reflects your values and communicates them in a way your care team will respect.

ADVOCACY & COMMUNICATION
Practical advocacy skills, practicing decision-making tools before you are in labour, partner roles, and speaking up in ways that align with your values.

VILLAGE BUILDING & INTEGRATION
Building your support network, making space for rest, and integrating what you’ve learned as you prepare for postpartum and the next chapter.

CAITLIN M.

"These classes are incredible and I can't recommend them enough. I feel so much more prepared for labour, delivery and postpartum. I started the classes feeling very scared and uncomfortable and ended the classes feeling ready to face everything. Super helpful for the person giving birth and their partners."

 

RAQUELLE R.

"12/10 would recommend. My Powerful Birth not only prepared my husband and myself for birth and postpartum but they were fun and engaging while doing it. They provide information so you can feel informed and empowered in your choices."

 

Your due date is coming whether you feel ready or not.

WHAT MAKES

THE PRENATAL 

ACADEMY BETTER 

THAN A PRENATAL

IN A DAY CLASS?

Generic hospital prenatal classes are designed to teach you how the hospital works.

Our program teaches you how you work: physically, mentally, emotionally, & how to make decisions that line up with your values. You get context, nuance, strategy, and a way to think through recommendations instead of reacting to them in the moment.

 

Hi, I'm Michelle

Founder of My Powerful Birth, Childbirth Educator, Doula, and a long-time guide for families who want a birth experience that reflects their values.

When I began birth work, I had already experienced many paths into motherhood hospital and home births, midwives and OBs, long labours and fast ones, intervention and loss. I trusted birth and my body, yet often trusted others more than myself.

What I didn’t yet understand was how easily the birthing process can be interrupted, or how much modern birth requires navigating fear, systems, and expectations alongside physiology.

Today, I support families in understanding how birth works, what to expect, and how to ask for what truly matters to them. I meet people exactly where they are, hold space for healing past experiences, and help families move toward birth feeling informed and supported.

This work is a privilege. It is tender, transformative, and deeply human; and I wouldn’t change a thing.
