Visualize My Birth™

With my first son, I did everything I thought I was supposed to do. I took the classes, read the books, prepared for an unmedicated birth, and trusted that I was ready. I labored naturally to 10 centimeters before my son’s leg presented and I was rushed into an emergency cesarean.

I couldn’t stop thinking about birth after that.

Not because I believed I could have controlled what happened—I couldn’t. But because I realized how much I had prepared for labor without ever truly preparing my mind for birth.

Years later, the idea for Visualize My Birth™ came to me in a series of dreams.

I saw a completely different way of preparing women for birth. Visualization. The subconscious mind. Mental rehearsal. A woman’s own voice. The nervous system. Birth physiology. Preparing so intentionally that when birth began, the mind and body had already practiced meeting it.

I saw it before I ever lived it.

For years, I quietly studied, created, and practiced what would eventually become Visualize My Birth™. And with my third and fourth births, I became my own first student.

I visualized those births in remarkable detail. I mentally rehearsed them again and again.

Then I lived them.

My last two births unfolded almost exactly as I had visualized. Both were approximately two hours long, and at 43 years young, my fourth birth was peaceful and pain-free.

I remember being in that birth and realizing:

I’ve been here before.

I had seen it. I had rehearsed it. My mind knew this place.

That was when I knew Visualize My Birth™ was no longer simply an idea that had come to me in a dream.

It was something I had created, practiced, and lived in my own body.

Now, I am finally ready to share it with you.

I dreamed it. I created it. I lived it. Welcome to Visualize My Birth™.
