Your Empowered Birth is the revolutionary way to plan and get the birth you want, without having to fight, beg, or compromise on your birth plan!
AVAILABLE AUGUST 1ST
Ready to plan and get the birth experience you really want, without having to fight with your family, beg your doctor or midwife to "let you try", or compromise on your birth plan to make others around you feel comfortable with your choices and stay "safe"?
This book will show you the 5 key areas you'll need to focus on and how to optimize each one so that you can create a custom birth plan and strategy that will help you avoid the most common traps moms fall into that lead to unnecessary interventions, preventable cesareans, losing their dignity at the door, and tossing the birth plan out the window.
You will also learn:
-
The real reason people who plan a natural birth often end up "failing" but accidental natural births happen all the time without anything going wrong
-
The sneaky things that are actually undermining your confidence and ability to trust your instinctive ability to birth your baby
-
The powerful framework that will help you have your birth your way without having to fight, beg, compromise, or lower your expectations
-
The secret to getting past your fear and staying in your power even when other people are telling you that you can't or shouldn't have your birth the way you want it...even if you're declining routine tests, choosing not to induce, going for a VBAC after multiple cesareans, breech birth, and EVEN if you are labeled "high risk"!
Could YOU be Robbed of Your TRUE Natural Birth Experience?
Here's the real reason so many natural births get derailed, and how to avoid it happening to you.
Have you ever wondered why so many moms who start planning a natural birth at the beginning of pregnancy end up having traumatic and disappointing births full of pain, fear, stress, and often unnecessary medical interventions?
Maybe it already happened to you, or you have just heard so many horror stories that you're worried you won't dilate, won't go into labor "on your own" or something will "go wrong" and you'll have to have a c-section.
If this is your experience or even your greatest fear, then let me tell you something you might not realize: you're not alone.
In fact, this is the experience of many of the women I've helped over the last decade and it happened to me, too.
I thought I was doing everything "right". I read the books, took the classes, hired a doula and a midwife, planned a homebirth...and I almost got tricked into a c-section I didn't want or need for reasons I'll tell you about later in this book.
Many of my friends and other women I've connected with weren't so lucky.
Actually, that's why I'm here. I got super fed-up with seeing those stories all the time and I wanted to do something about it that would actually help. I dug DEEP into what was happening, and I identified some huge problems with how birth is being taught and how moms even plan their births.
Here's one of the BIG secrets I discovered...
Too often moms make some critical mistakes that lead to them getting the exact kind of nightmare birth experience they were trying to avoid.
The biggest one is waiting until the end of your pregnancy to plan out your birth.
One of my #1 secrets that you'll learn in this book, and that I'll share with you right now, is to create your birth plan FIRST! Before you do anything else, including choose your birth location, hire your care provider, choose your birth classes, or even start learning about birth at all, you need to know exactly what you want.
The reason I am cautioning you on this is becase if you're waiting until the final months to start thinking about writing your birth plan, it's almost too late!
This is like waiting until the night before to write a college essay or term paper or to study for a final exam (are you flashing back to your days in college and university right now too? Because I am)!
What happens if you wait is that you'll find out that your chosen doctor or midwife might not be as open to your birth plan as you thought, and you'll scramble to either find a new care provider all the while knowing you could give birth any day now, or you'll try to find a bunch of articles and resources to convince them to let you have what you want.
Most often, you end up giving in to their preferences and you compromise just to keep the peace.
This then leads to you agreeing to exams and tests you didn't want, birthing in the hospital even if you really feel more comfortable staying home, or even inducing your labor because they don't "let you" go a certain number of days past your due date.
You're fighting, begging, and compromising on what should be the most amazing day of your life!
The other big problem I see is that most moms keep falling into what I call the Natural Birth Traps. These are the often common practices, myths, and general pieces of advice for "Natural Birth" that actually sabotages your body's true natural process and undermines your confidence in your body's ability to birth.
These traps are so prevalent and numerous in birth education and our maternity care system that you often don't see the trap until after you've had a traumatic birth and traced the steps back to that moment when things "went wrong".
Natural Birth Traps basically lead to you thinking your body doesn't work so that you end up giving in to the pressure from the hospital staff, your care provider, and even your own partner!
Want to know how to fix this?
"Your Empowered Birth" was written specifically to help you create your own fail-proof birth plan for a True Natural Birth experience, so you don't end up tossing it out the window the day you go into labor.
In addition to learning how birth actually works and how to plan and get your dream natural birth, you will also have some quick journal exercises that are designed to help you discover exactly what you desire in your birth experience without needing to read a ton of books, take a bunch of classes, or ask the mom groups for ideas on what to put in your birth plan.
You will get to read stories from real moms who have had their own amazing empowered births, and when you get your bonuses that come with this book, I'll also give you access to even more resources and tips that will help you avoid those Natural Birth Traps once and for all and get the birth you really want, without having to fight, beg, or compromise.

Empowered Birth Success Story!
This mama of 3 had a beautiful, unassisted homebirth after a traumatic induction and 2 c-sections!
Rebekah's Story
Could you imagine having a completely hands-off birth at home with your partner catching your baby?
Up until a few years ago, Rebekah had resigned herself to the idea that if she ever got pregnant again, it would have to be a c-section.
Her story started off when she was a young mother, barely out of her teens, and she didn’t know what she didn’t know. She’d gone into her birth trusting in the system, only to find herself being pushed into an induction by her doctor.
Because she was young and hadn’t yet learned that induction of labor in a first time mother is three times more likely to result in a cesarean, she had been led to believe that it was her body that was the problem.
By the time she was pregnant with her third baby, she was much older and had already experienced two c-sections. The first had been the result of a “failed” induction and the second had been due to the trickery of her doctor and the hospital after she had expressed a desire to try for a VBAC.
She had been searching for anything that would help her to have a natural birth. Most of the information she had picked up from the mainstream mom groups had told her that it was "impossible", but Rebekah was determined.
She felt instinctively that she could do it, she just had to figure out how to get her doctor to let her try.
Sadly, it had been an uphill battle and there wasn't a lot of information she could find on VBA2C; most moms were just planning a repeat c-section.
After attending one of my free workshops in 2021, Rebekah discovered that she had been tricked out of her natural birth twice, and that her instincts had been right; she could do this!
By using the same system that I'll teach you in Your Empowered Birth, she was able to confidently plan the homebirth she had thought had been out of reach, but that she had deeply desired to experience.
The only problem was that there had been no midwives in her area willing to support her in a homebirth, so Rebekah also hired me as her coach and virtual doula to help her and her partner do it themselves.
After 3 months of learning how to prepare for a True Natural Birth and release her fears, Rebekah and her partner welcomed their third son into the world. He was born peacefully at home, his father caught him in his hands, and Rebekah reclaimed her power and confidence that her body was capable of anything.
Her dream came true, and so can yours!

Empowered Birth Success Story!
This "High Risk" mama had an unassisted hospital VBAC when all the odds were stacked against her!
Jenni's Story
Could you imagine having EVERY single risk factor stacked up against you and still achieve a completely natural birth where no one even touched you?
Up until a few years ago, Jenni had very much doubted it could be possible for her. With her first baby she already had been labeled "High Risk" not only because of her age (she was well over 35) but also because she had chronic high blood pressure.
Her OB booked her induction without even consulting her and it was just assumed that she was only getting what she "needed to know".
"And he felt I needed to know nothing," Jenni told me in one of our many sessions together.
Jenni had been fed up with the lack of transparency with her doctor and switched care to a midwife very late into her pregnancy, which helped her understand some of her options a little better, but she soon ran into other problems.
"I kept trying to ask questions at the hospital and find out what was going on, but no one was listening to me and they refused to let me even call my midwife."
The long and short of this story is that after going through a traumatic induction and being bullied by the medical system, Jenni had a cesarean and had been reeling from her birth experience.
"There had been no childbirth classes, but I'd hired a doula and a midwife and I read a lot of stuff on my own. It turns out I was reading the wrong things, and in the end none of what I read about natural birth was what I experienced."
I found Jenni in November of 2020, became her friend, and helped her get the support she needed to work through her trauma. At this point, as she was healing, she asked me "Carly, how do I take your classes?"
At first, Jenni only wanted to learn from me to process what had happened to her, so she could see it wasn't her fault and to move past it. She also wanted to help me in building a group program I had been thinking about creating.
She said she was probably never going to have another baby, because she was "too high risk" to have a natural birth, but that she wanted to help other moms do the same and to learn with them.
We ran our first Empowered Birth Workshop in April of 2021 and brought in her friend Lisa.
The next workshop in June 2021 we brought in Rebekah and by that point Jenni decided she had healed enough emotionally to go over her birth records again and write a formal complaint for how she was treated during her birth.
By September 2021 when we ran our next workshop, Jenni was thinking about having a baby in the next year or two.
By November 2021 she had moved up her timeline. She was actively trying to conceive.
By the end of November she was pregnant!
Not only did Jenni get past her fear of having another child after her previous traumatic experience, but she went into that pregnancy with her solid roadmap, using the same birth plan creation system that you're going to get in this free training series.
She also not only had her VBAC, it was completely unassisted in the hospital!
With this pregnancy she had these "risk factors" that would discourage a lot of moms into thinking their birth plan had to go out the window...
-41 years old
-Previous cesarean
-Postpartum Pre-Eclampsia with her first baby
-Chronic High Blood Pressure
-Gestational Diabetes
-Group B Strep Positive
And she was living in an area that has the highest rate of cesarean and low rate of VBAC success in the country! While Canada's cesarean rate is close to 1 in 4, BC has a rate closer to the U.S. at 1 in 3, and the Lower Mainland has the highest rate of cesarean in the province!
So with every odd stacked against her, Jenni had a completely natural birth and no one touched her. She didn't have to fight with anyone, beg permission, or compromise on her dream birth.
She GOT it!
That's how powerful the secret of Empowered Birth is!
