Nurture Your Skills & Grow Your Impact

The intensity of birth work can leave you feeling undervalued, burned out, and lost. While it’s extremely rewarding and joyful, it can be demanding and painful without the right training, tools, and mentorship. You deserve the best support to help you ride the waves.

You will gain access to so many resources, the endless knowledge of Meredith and Alicia, and a wonderful cohort of like-minded women. I am forever changed by everything I learned through Intentional Birth Pro."

“I deeply appreciate the level of honesty about what this work is like and the mentorship in navigating the difficulties. I appreciate that this program included educational content, a huge amount of resources, excellent guest speakers, connection within the cohort, and Meredith and Alicia’s availability for mentorship. They encouraged me to evaluate what I want and who I want to be as a doula. I ended this program with a sense of freedom to step into that with confidence and clarity. Absolutely worth the investment!”
