"Just add water!"
-Barbara Harper
Benefits of Water
Learn the wonderful, evidence-based benefits from including water in your birth! To name a few... water promotes deeper relaxation, greater mobility, increased softening and stretching for perineal tissues, a gentler transition for baby and improved fetal outcomes, patience with the normal physiological process,​ decreased need for interventions, and many more. ​
Birth Tub Set-Up
With demand increasing, more birth centers and hospitals are adding birthing tubs to their facilities. Otherwise, waterbirths more commonly happen in a home setting. No matter your chosen birth setting for waterbirth, learn what equipment and checklist essentials you'll need. For a homebirth, learn how to properly and sanitarily set-up your birthing tub. Want to add a little ambiance? Receive tips and tricks to make it beautiful!
How Baby Transitions
Do you question and wonder how baby transitions safely in water? Learn and fully understand the physiology behind baby's first breath, which explains why the baby physiologically cannot take a breath in the water. The course goes into depth about this subject so that you have great confidence knowing how a baby can safely be birthed in water.
Waterbirth Safety
Learn the fundamentals of waterbirth safety including for whom waterbirth is recommended and the few situations where it is not appropriate, water temperature, how fetal monitoring happens, how your husband or significant other may play a role, and how a birth team and care provider supports mom and baby throughout the process. The goal is for you to feel informed, prepared and confident when planning waterbirth as part of your birth experience.

GOD wonderfully designed
YOUR BODY TO GROW, BIRTH AND NURTURE A BABY.
real mamas, great reviews
You spend your pregnancy learning, preparing and building confidence. As you approach your baby's birth, remember birth is not a test to pass but a journey to walk. You grow in knowledge, lean into motherly intuition and seek God's wisdom along the way. However your birth ultimately unfolds, may you enter it with courage, peace and confidence, trusting God's love, presence and the remarkable design He has given your body.
