Pushing Power: A Signature Workshop for Safe & Empowered Birth

Are you ready for the pushing part of labor?

Many pregnant women are underprepared for Second Stage Labor—the moment when it’s time to push. This can lead to hours of ineffective pushing, unnecessary medical interventions, perineal trauma, or even cesarean birth. That’s why I created Pushing Power—a one-of-a-kind workshop designed to educate and empower you with the knowledge, tools, and body-awareness you need for a smoother, safer birthing experience.

In this class, you will:

Learn how to push safely and effectively—with or without an epidural

Understand the essential role of your pelvic floor muscles and how they support birth

Explore how the pelvis and baby interact and how to create more space

Discover what actually happens in Second Stage Labor and how to navigate it

Practice breathing techniques and body positions that optimize pushing and reduce tearing

Gain tools for a more easeful birth and faster postpartum recovery

Whether you’re planning an unmedicated birth or using an epidural, Pushing Power offers evidence-based, body-informed guidance to help you feel confident, capable, and deeply connected to your body’s wisdom.

My goal is to demystify the pushing phase and support you in making informed decisions during one of the most powerful moments of your life.
