Education & Birth Preparation
When you understand your options, you can trust your choices.
Education That Empowers, Not Overwhelms
There’s a lot of noise out there about how to give birth “the right way.” At Embrace, we do things differently.
Our education is designed to support your autonomy, not override it. We teach from a place of deep respect, evidence-based care, and lived experience, so you can move toward birth and postpartum with clarity, not fear.
This isn’t about memorizing protocols or doing things “naturally.” It’s about knowing your body, knowing your rights, and having tools that work for you.
