Birth with love and confidence.

 

Well Worth Watering empowers expecting parents with soulfully curated childbirth classes and postpartum support.



A lot on your mind? You are not alone.

Excitement and worry have been hallmarks of pregnancy for generations. I’ve been there myself; slow dancing with the unique set of "what-ifs" that come with pregnancy, labor and birth.

I know what it’s like…navigating discouraging maternal health stats but determined to keep a firm grip on the wisdom that I was certain grew alongside my babies.

Though I couldn’t name them, I just knew there were rare gems tucked into each birth journey, waiting to be unearthed. And you wanna know something?

Birth isn’t just about survival.

The way you remember your birth matters.

Affirming, informed, transformative births are happening right now!

 

So…take a deep breath.
