Here's How We Can Support You

We focus on establishing a resilient mindset and reharmonizing you with nature rather than a set of “tools”. Regardless of where or how you plan to birth and recover afterwards, this series will take you beyond the external noise, advice, stories, and dogma around birth and postpartum to help you learn and practice:
LEARN​ about the birth process as well as postpartum healing and explore what is important to you
DISCOVER​ your inner resources and develop a mindset around pain-coping and self preservation
CONNECT​ with your support team, your partner, and yourself in birth and within those first 42 days after birth

FACE​ the unknown with courage, wisdom and self-love by preparing for the Rite of Passage
 

MEET THE DOULA

I'm Brooke

nice to meet ya!

I believe the most important thing you need on this journey is to know your body, your options, the facts, and clarity around what you want or how you envision it all to be— much like planning your wedding. This is another Rite of Passage that should not be overlooked.

“I love Brooke’s approach to childbirth preparation. She prepares you both to be emotionally and mentally prepared for a wide range of birth experiences.

She takes you on a metaphysical journey that awakens something deep within you, something more valuable than a series of breathing techniques. Birth became a mind-body experience for us. It transformed the way I see myself as a Mother.”

– KIM

perspective

here's what ya get

  • Become aware of the ENORMOUS transformation that is labor and the birth of your baby.
  • Learn how your birth experience can shape your relationship with yourself, your partner and of course, your baby.
  • Practice hands-on pain-coping tools to manage the discomfort of labor.
  • Have actionable at-home activities to build your confidence and reduce the anxiety associated with the birth process.
  • Discover the communication tools and language for conveying your thoughts and asking questions to your medical team, enabling you to gather decision making information, even in moments of pain, overwhelm and confusion.
  • Come to a deeper level of understanding regarding your new role as a parent, and how your birth can influence that role.
  • Learn about your expectations of one another and how to support each other through the early postpartum days and months.
  • To prepare for “the unexpected” by learning about mindful inductions, mindful epidurals and having a cesarean in awareness.
  • To learn about the stages of labor through storytelling and discussion.
  • To fully integrate Optimal Maternal Positioning (commonly known as Spinning Babies) to encourage labor’s natural start, to keep labor progressing normally, and to potentially save hours of time during labor.
  • To enjoy spending time focusing on you, your partner, your pregnancy, your birth, your baby and the days, weeks and months that will follow.

what they're saying

I wanted to try for a VBAC and have some additional preparation from the Hypnobirth training I did last time, so I signed up for one of Brooke’s Birth Prep workshops. It was a creative, holistic approach to birth education. Worth the money and experience.
LISA
I didn’t know where to start, as this is my first birth. I wasn’t looking to hire a doula as my sister and girlfriend supported me, but I wanted help writing out my birth plan. Brooke took her time with me and helped me understand all the possible interventions in a hospital. I learned so much!
MARTHA
Before my prenatal session with Brooke, I never thought of how to care for myself — mentally, spiritually, and physically after birth. With her guidance, we could establish a plan and house rules/boundaries with the family, so everyone was on the page.

STILL WONDERING SOME THINGS?

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are the most often asked questions an expectant family has inquired about prior to hiring me. If there isn’t an answer to a question that you have please feel free to contact me.

I suggest you start before 20 weeks and no later than 36 weeks gestation. If you sign up for a labor or postpartum preparation session we will go over relaxation techniques and they are best when practiced regularly over many weeks.
My sessions are very comprehensive and cover all the information you need to feel prepared for any type of birth and the early days with your newborn. The benefit of my sessions is that the information is tailored to what YOU want to know.

Aspired Mother’s private prenatal sessions allow you to work around your schedule to make it more convenient. The focus is on providing information that is relevant to you, your lifestyle, and situation. My private childbirth and postpartum preparation sessions allow you the comfort and privacy to ask questions you may not have without feeling embarrassed with strangers around.

I am familiar with the standard protocols at all area hospitals and can discuss what you need to know at your specific place of birth. Many hospitals have virtual tours that can you take as well.

No, but I will make suggestions to watch specific clips on your own.

Many people feel uncomfortable watching birth videos because there is no emotion attached to that experience. While I make an effort to share videos that emote those feelings, it still feels quite different when you are in the moment and welcoming your baby.

Partners are a very important part of our sessions. My focus is on getting you on the same page by facilitating conversations between the two of you. I also love to practice the tools and techniques with you both so we can build a comfort level with these techniques.

There is so much information out there that it can sometimes be overwhelming as well as conflicting. My goal is to not only give you information, but to help you discover and cultivate internal resources already within you that will help you meet the challenges birth and parenthood can bring.

No matter what type of birth you’re planning – or if you don’t have a plan at all – our sessions are a time for you to ask questions, explore your feelings around birth and parenting, and prepare to meet your little one.

Also, you will be invited to our private AM Village App to create a community of people who are going through the same experience you are. You can’t get that from a book.
