✨ BIRTH DEBRIEF ✨ Birth is a life-changing ex

✨ BIRTH DEBRIEF ✨

Birth is a life-changing experience. Whether it unfolded as you had hoped or took an unexpected turn, it can leave deep emotional marks. As practicing midwives, we understand both the clinical and emotional aspects of birth. Knowing what happens biologically can help make sense of your experience, providing clarity and aiding in processing your thoughts.

A birth debrief isn’t about “moving on” or defining your experience with a label. It’s about giving yourself permission to feel, reflect, and gain understanding. Perhaps certain moments felt overwhelming, you have lingering questions, or you simply want to share your story with someone who truly listens.

At Birth & Beyond Education, we offer free birth debriefs to anyone who has attended our workshops. This is a safe and supportive space to ask questions, express emotions, and process your experience - whether it was challenging, beautiful, or a mix of both.

Birth debriefs are also open to others who were part of your journey. Whenever you feel ready, reach out.

We’re here to listen ✨

Another wonderful review for our Birth & Beyond Ed

Another wonderful review for our Birth & Beyond Educators! Thank you so much Laura for your kind words ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“My partner and I had a great time at Lucy and Kristin’s classes. Despite working in the medical field we still had a lot of unknowns and anxieties about the birth process which these classes helped immensely with. Lucy is an engaging & entertaining educator, and we really appreciated her matter of fact, evidence-based and non-judgemental advice and opinions, backed by many years of experience. Would highly recommend!” - Laura & Kevin

BIRTH PLAN Vs BIRTH REALITY ✨ We love talking a

BIRTH PLAN Vs BIRTH REALITY ✨

We love talking about birth preferences in our workshops rather than birth plans - because if there’s one thing we know, it’s that birth rarely goes exactly as planned!

Having a clear idea of how you’d like things to go is important, but think of it more as a wish list rather than a rigid plan. It helps your team understand what’s important to you, so they can do everything possible to support you in having a positive and empowering birth experience - no matter how your journey unfolds.

Flexibility, knowledge, and support make all the difference! Let’s chat about your birth preferences in our workshop together! 🤍
