    Hormones play a key role in our overall health, especially when it comes to fertility, perimenopause, and menopause. But have you wondered how to balance them naturally without getting on some sort of hormonal birth control?

  • Hard truth? A scheduled repeat c-section may not give you the control you're hoping for.
    Sep 30 2024

    Text Hannah!

    I want to start out by saying I'm NOT anti-c-section. I'm not against scheduling repeat c-sections simply because YOU want to. What I'm against is unnecessary c-sections. Coerced or pressured c-sections. C-sections chosen without full informed consent.

    I've heard many women say that want to have some control over their birth the second time around so they are scheduling a repeat c-section. But is that really what puts you in control?

    • In this episode, I share some misconceptions about scheduling a repeat c-section vs. having a VBAC.
    • I also talk about where the true control comes from during your pregnancy and birth.

    Tune in for some tangible empowerment that will help you work through fear and doubt so you can feel ready for your birth, whether that be a VBAC or a repeat c-section.

  • Should you change providers for your VBAC?
    Aug 19 2024

    Text Hannah!

    Finding a VBAC supportive provider is really freaking hard in a lot of areas and it can be one of the most stressful parts of preparing for a VBAC.

    So when it's time to decide whether or not to stay with the same provider who did your c-section you might be wondering what to do. The majority of people in the birth world would tell you NOT to stay with the same provider.

    Tune in to hear my thoughts on this!
