Because All Families Deserve Empowered Birth Experiences
Did you know that only 10% of parents-to-be take any sort of childbirth education classes?
Yeah, that means 90% of people are going through their pregnancies and births without ANY IDEA of what their options are. 🤯
I’m on a mission to change that, because pregnant people and growing families deserve better. That’s why I’d love to be on your podcast or speak at your event!
Here are just a few of the topics I could spend all day talking about:
Evidence-based childbirth education
Making childbirth more beautiful and empowering (instead of terrifying and arduous)
Creating a dream team of respectful providers
Prenatal and postpartum yoga
repairing yourself – mentally and physically – for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum
Building a supportive online community
Where I’ve Been:
The Sell It, Sister! Podcast hosted by Erika Tebbens
In an era where many in-person service providers have had to pivot toward being mostly online, there are a lot of challenges… but there are also plenty of opportunities. In this episode, Erika brings in two of her clients who’ve done a beautiful job of navigating this pivot: Katie Painter and Carrie-Ann Kloda.
The Next Tuesday Podcast
Doulas are for Everyone – with Katie Painter, Doula, Childbirth Educator, + Prenatal Fitness Guru
In this episode, Next Tuesday listeners learn that birth does not have to be scary (especially if we stay away from the black hole that is the internet), what a doula is, and how they are for anyone (regardless of their birth preferences), and a way to reframe the way we view pain.
On the biz side, Katie shares what it's like to make childbirth education and doula-ing her business, why passion is essential in her field of work, and how to establish and maintain personal and professional boundaries.
