OWN YOUR BIRTH

revolutionary childbirth education based on birth physiology

If you are anxious about the uncertainty of giving birth, unsure on how to take ownership of your labor, and wanting to have a great birth experience

This is the Birth Prep Series for you!

This class is all about how you can support your birth physiology.

When physiology is supported, labor flows. When labor flows, there are:

Fewer interventions

When birth unfolds on its own, there's less need for interventions (and if you need them, you'll still help birth flow!)

Easier & faster births

You'll know exactly how to work WITH your body to be more confident and easily dive into "laborland."

Everyone is happier!

You, your baby, and your whole birth team will have a healthier and more satisfying experience!

This class will give you the tools to work with your body and be an active participant in your experience – regardless of circumstances.

We believe that:

BIRTH IS NOT A MEDICAL EVENT

We’ve been taught that due dates, time between contractions, and dilation are important things to keep an eye out.

But you know who doesn’t care one bit? Your body.

Because your body does physiology, not medicine.

Think about it.

Do you care about the timing between your breaths, or how many times you blink per hour, or how far your food has traveled through your digestive system since you last ate?

Physiology happens. Your body doesn’t need to observe and calculate, it just does it.

YOUR BODY KNOWS HOW TO BIRTH

But I get that you may not trust your body, or feel uncertain about if you'll be able to do it.

By focusing on supporting your physiology through the activities presented in this course, and by addressing any possible obstacles now–during pregnancy, so they don’t show up during birth–you’ll have absolute clarity on how to get labor to flow!

YOU ARE NOT A VESSEL TO BE DELIVERED OF A BABY

And birth isn’t something that happens to you.

You are -and should be- an active participant in bringing your child into the world.

In fact, when birthing people are directed, instead of supported and respected, their birthing process is interrupted. That is where uncertainty and even trauma can set in.

You may not be able to control all the details and circumstances of your experience, but you can control how you show up.

Birth is a process that happens inside you. By supporting physiology, you can take the lead.

You can own your birth.

HAVING A BABY WILL BE THE MOST TRANSFORMATIVE EVENT OF YOUR LIFE

I’m not exaggerating.
At no other time will your body and identity undergo a similar transformation.

I want you to come out the other side feeling confident and powerful, because how you birth tends to set the tone for how you parent.

YOU CAN DO THIS

Most other classes focus on explaining the medical model of birth, give you tools to navigate the maternity system, provide coping mechanisms to endure the process, and explain comfort measures to alleviate the intensity. And that’s fine, but it perpetuates our cultural approach of birth as a medical event.

That’s why this class is so revolutionary.

It will give you the tools to lead your birth and own this transformative experience.

With confidence.
With power.
Even if you need interventions.
Even if you have a cesarean birth.

Regardless of the circumstances, you can have a powerfully satisfying, easier and more flowing birth.

That’s what this course is about.

Hi!

I’m Adriana Lozada, birth doula, birth and postpartum educator, international speaker and host of the acclaimed Birthful podcast.

Since 2007, I’ve helped my birth doula clients take the reigns of their process and own their births to have more satisfying birth experiences. These experiences have run the gamut from unmedicated home births to planned cesarean births, and everything in between.

The preparation we do during our prenatal meetings is so impactful, that there have even been times where birth has switched gears and flowed too quickly for me to make it to the hospital in time. These clients still tell me they “couldn’t have done it without me,” meaning, they couldn’t have done it without all this simple yet powerful preparation.

I use the term “simple” because we don’t spend months getting ready. In fact, I only met twice with my doula clients, for a total of 3 hours.

This Birth Prep Series is based on exactly what I do with my doula clients during our prenatal meetings, plus a few more expanded concepts for good measure.

What past participants are saying:

Overall we found the course to be extremely insightful.

We liked your non judgmental an openness on how to approach labour and loved your style of teaching.

Monisha B.

I learned a lot of helpful things during this course that weren’t covered in the 2 other courses that I have taken.

I chose this class because of the focus on supporting physiology.

Susan S.

Both my husband and I felt so much more prepared and educated after taking this course. It was even more helpful than I thought it was going to be.

Enroll in Our Self-Paced Class

With our SELF-PACED class, you can start the class at anytime, setting your own schedule.

This option gives you immediate access to previous class recordings so you can take it at your own pace.

So how do you support birth physiology?

That’s exactly what we cover in this series.

The course is structured around 3 weeks of learning, with a mix of video recordings and live online discussions*.

Each week you will be given a set of videos to watch, and then we’ll come together online for a live video meeting where we’ll carry out activities, have discussions about what you watched, address situations specific to your circumstances, and answer questions.

You’ll also receive handouts and printable resources, as well as have access to the recording of the live classes.

*If the scheduled dates don't work for you, we also have a SELF-PACED class that you can start whenever you want. Click here to enroll. (Note: this option includes class recordings instead of live sessions.)
