of course you're nervous...
You're about to birth a whole-a** human
As your due date gets closer, so do all those nagging what-ifs:
- What if I can’t handle the pain?
- What if things don’t go as planned?
- What if I tear?
- OMG what if I poop? (girly you probably will 😅 – but it’s totally fine!!)
You don’t have to just cross your fingers and hope for the best!
"Want to say how amazing it was to have the course! Just came home with my baby girl, after a 3-day failed induction, turned c-section. And while it was a long and hard week, I felt so prepared with what was going on! Especially with the induction section and the c-section part! I really felt like I had a good grasp on what was going on, and felt in control of a very out of control experience! 💖"

"I planned on natural labor but ended up with an epidural (SPD pain made it hard to move in different positions for natural pain management). I'm SOOOO glad I took your course to know what to expect even outside my "plan"!"
Ali B.
"I just want to say thank you for your course! We wanted a natural birth, but ended up with a c-section due to high blood pressure on my end. I felt prepared and understood what the doctors were doing during induction and epidural, as well as the surgery. Not what we planned for, but both me and baby are here healthy!!"
Kat L.
“Hi Liesel! Just wanted to say thank you for all of the information you share! I just had my second baby, and he decided to come SUPER FAST! THANKFULLY, I took your birth course to prep so I could manage my pain naturally. I definitely had a few contractions where I felt panicked bc I couldn't get the epidural, BUT I reminded myself to focus on the breathing techniques you taught and that I can do anything for 20 seconds. It really helped calm me down and focus on baby. So thank you! I recommend you to all my preggo friends 😆"
Ellen D.
“I just wanted to say thank you and let you know how much your course/podcast/IG helped me during pregnancy and childrbirth! My water broke while I was getting a massage! From your course and posts, I knew immediately that there was meconium in my fluid and went to the hospital right away...I felt confident and have you to thank for that ❤️ I had such an easy birth and I know that's because of all of the birth prep I learned from you! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!"
Meaghan W.
“Our labor and delivery didn't go as planned, ending up getting an epidural and having an emergency in the hospital + forceps delivery, BUT the course helped us to feel SO prepared and stay calm in an emergent situation, plus keep an open mind to not sticking with the plan., We love all of the knowledge we've gained from the course & mamma and baby are healthy and healing! 💙"

“Thank you so much for this and putting partners stuff in the classes. My husband read the partner section before our induction and he was absolutely amazing! He was doing all the counting for me while I was pushing. It was absolutely amazing to have his support ❤️"
Erin R.
“This course perfectly covered everything I needed! I was induced with pitocin and had the unmedicated labor & delivery I was hoping for. THe whole experience was incredible - raw, primal, transformative, and absolutely amazing."
Kristen H.
“My husband and I were ready to advocate! I even asked to push folded over the bed back and got weird looks because of my epidural, but then had some really productive pushes that surprised the docs! If it wasn't for your course, I would have had a lot of interventions that I did not want. THANK YOU!!!!"

Hi! I'm Liesel.
After a decade in the delivery room, I’ve seen it all — the nerves, the tears, the wild mix of “oh my gosh, this is really happening.”
Here’s what I want you to know: birth doesn’t have to feel scary or out of control.
When you understand what’s happening and have the tools to work with your body (not against it), everything changes.
You deserve a birth that feels empowering, no matter how it unfolds.
