Maternal Wellness and Birth Preparation
What if you could understand how a woman’s entire journey connects, rather than focusing on just one stage?
Her fertility and nutritional foundations.
The extraordinary physiological and hormonal changes of pregnancy.
The decisions she makes about her body and her birth.
The way she prepares her mind and nervous system for the experience.
And the physical, nutritional, and emotional transition into postpartum.
The Visualize My Birth® Wellness Support Specialist Professional Certificate Program brings these essential areas together into one comprehensive educational experience.
And woven throughout this education is something uniquely different.
Guided Mental Rehearsal™ — the Visualize My Birth® Method.
The world’s most accomplished athletes have long used mental rehearsal to prepare for extraordinary performances, practicing movements and responses before the moment arrives.
Why shouldn’t mothers prepare their minds for BIRTH with that same intention?
Through Visualize My Birth®, mothers practice how they want to breathe, move, respond to sensations, communicate, and experience birth.
As a VMB Wellness Support Specialist, you’ll understand the preparation a mother has spent months making familiar, while developing a deeper understanding of the physiology, nutrition, and emotional experience surrounding her journey.
Through real-world case studies, you’ll explore how to apply your education across different women, circumstances, decisions, and birth experiences.
This is more than another certificate to add to your credentials. It’s education you can carry into the moments that matter.

The Story Behind Visualize My Birth®
I DREAMED It. I LIVED It. And I Knew I Had to Share It.
I’m Dr. Kimberly Spair, a mother of four, licensed speech pathologist and pediatric feeding specialist, board-certified holistic health practitioner, and founder of Visualize My Birth®.
But this story began long before there was a method or a program.
During my first pregnancy, I was surrounded by birth stories.
Forceps. Emergency C-sections. Traumatic experiences. Stories passed down through generations of women.
Without realizing it, I was rehearsing those experiences in my own mind.
I was so determined to avoid them that I couldn’t even look at the C-section pages in my childbirth education materials. When emergency birth was discussed in class, I put headphones in.
I was mentally rehearsing everyone else’s birth stories instead of preparing my mind for my OWN.
My first birth ended in an emergency C-section.
During my second pregnancy, something extraordinary began to unfold.
I experienced a series of vivid dreams in which I could see myself giving birth. The movements, the breathing, the sensations, the way I responded. Everything felt incredibly real.
I began returning to those experiences intentionally, rehearsing what I had seen and felt.
And when my birth unfolded, so much of what I had experienced in my mind became familiar in real life.
Over the course of four births, I experienced three unmedicated homebirth VBACs, including two births that unfolded in approximately two hours and my fourth, a pain-free birth at 43 years old.
Through those experiences, I began recognizing something I could no longer ignore.
The connection between what I had rehearsed and what I experienced.
I didn’t sit down one day and decide to invent a birth-preparation method.
It came to me through vivid dreams, lived experiences, and a series of births that changed the way I understood the mind and body.
I believe this method was given to me.
And I spent years studying the neuroscience of mental rehearsal, repetition, familiarity, and the nervous system to better understand what I had experienced.
That journey became Visualize My Birth®.
Not because I believe every mother will have my birth experience or because birth can be controlled.
But because mothers deserve to intentionally prepare their minds for birth, rather than continually rehearsing the fear-based stories they’ve inherited.
And I knew that if we were going to change the way mothers prepare for birth, we also needed to educate the professionals walking beside them.
That is why I created this Professional Certificate Program.
I wanted to bring together the education I’ve spent years studying, teaching, and applying: nutrition, maternal wellness, birth physiology, infant feeding, postpartum support, and the connection between the mind and body.
To give professionals an opportunity to understand the entire journey while recognizing the preparation a VMB mother brings into her birth.
Train intentionally. Surrender instinctively.

Visualize My Birth® is about how a mother prepares to experience her birth, not where or how her baby is born.
Mothers can mentally rehearse their breathing, movements, responses, communication, environment, and the moments surrounding meeting their baby.
Their preparation can accompany them into different birth settings and circumstances.
No method can guarantee a birth outcome.
Mental rehearsal allows mothers to intentionally practice their desired movements, responses, and experiences before birth.
Many women report meaningful similarities between what they rehearsed and what they later experienced, but individual experiences vary.
Visualize My Birth® includes preparing for how a mother wants to respond when circumstances change.
She can rehearse returning to familiar breathing, communicating, making decisions, and remaining connected to her preparation while receiving appropriate care.
As a VMB professional, you’ll understand how to support her within those circumstances.
Absolutely. Mothers who want our deepest level of education are welcome, although completing the program does not provide professional licensure.
IMAGINE WHAT YOU COULD BRING INTO THE LIVES OF THE WOMEN YOU SUPPORT.
The knowledge to understand her changing body.
The education to support her nutritional and physical foundations.
The familiarity to recognize what she’s rehearsed for birth.
And the preparation to walk beside her through breastfeeding, recovery, and motherhood.
Be part of a new standard in maternal wellness and birth preparation.
