Work one-on-one with an experienced labor and delivery nurse and trauma-informed childbirth educator to identify what’s making you anxious around pregnancy and birth and develop strategies to work through those anxieties.
Today you are brave so that tomorrow you can mother
There are a million reasons why today’s mothers are incredibly stressed out and fearful of childbirth.
Sound familiar?
Work together, one-on-one, with an experienced L&D nurse and trauma-informed trained childbirth educator in 3 private video-conference sessions, to
This work isn’t about learning a fancy, shmancy new labor method or complicated birth survival algorithm (though if I had one, we’d use it, because that sounds kinda cool). It’s much easier and faster than those types of techniques. We’ll be getting really clear on what resonates with you, what’s possible for your birth, what works for you and how your team can support that, and then enough time and energy in practicing what works so that you not only have a plan for your birth but also some kick a$$ skills for conquering postpartum and parenthood like it’s your job! (oh wait…)
What’s included:
Once enrolled, you will have access to my online calendar so you can schedule your sessions at your convenience. You’ll then get an email with a link for our Zoom conference, unique to the day and time that you have chosen. Zoom is mobile friendly, so you can chat by phone!
What You Won’t Get
Are you ready to put in the work to have the positive childbirth experience that you deserve?
Hey there! I’m Mandy Irby, the mom and nurse creator of the Birth Nurse Academy and popular YouTube channel @MandyIrby. I 1 million% believe that our bodies are powerful, and with the right support, we are unstoppable.
My absolute favorite part about bedside nursing is when I can help surprise a new mother with her own strength! Labor plays funny tricks with our minds. It makes us vulnerable, it’s raw, it’s scary. Many of us get to a point where we feel utterly defeated, overwhelmed, and that we simply Cannot do it. I know the truth, however, and can see the fierceness and power inside each birthing person. When they finally reach the finish line and look back at their journey while holding their little one in their arms, that look of “well dang, I actually did it” is my favorite part of the whole process.
Though childbirth is very real and very raw, I believe that our past experiences, hurdles, and accomplishments are what give us the superpowers we need to have a powerful, rewarding, and healing birth experience.
I grew up in the suburbs of Kansas City but have happily called Virginia home for the last 15 years. I discovered a passion for childbirth while attending the University of Virginia and have been supporting pregnant, laboring, and breastfeeding people and families for the last decade.
I’m on a mission to prepare families to birth boldly, so that they can begin parenthood stronger than ever.
