"I've read a hundred articles and I still don't feel ready."

If you've been sinking into late-night Google rabbit holes, piecing together advice from strangers, and wondering what labor will actually feel like — you're in the right place. We'll walk through it together, one gentle step at a time.

what's inside

Seven modules that cover what actually matters.

No fluff, no fear tactics. Just clear lessons, gentle guidance, and the real-talk tools you need for your birth day and beyond.

01

Understanding Birth
 

Learn the foundation of physiological birth, the mind-body connection, and how hypnosis supports calm, instinctive birthing. This module dispels fear through education and teaches deep relaxation and breathing techniques to prepare your body and mind for a peaceful labor.

02

Connection and Mindset
 

Explore the power of mindset, affirmations, and pre-birth bonding. You’ll learn to create daily habits that reinforce trust in your body, strengthen your emotional connection with your baby, and build a support team that aligns with your birth values.

03

Preparing for Labor
 

Gain practical tools for early and active labor, including relaxation strategies, positions, and breathing patterns. This module helps you recognize true labor versus practice contractions and teaches ways to stay comfortable and confident as birth approaches.

04

The Stages of Birth
 

Understand each stage of labor—from early waves to pushing and the birth of your baby and placenta. You’ll learn how to work with your body’s rhythm, support the natural flow of hormones, and trust the intuitive process of labor.

05

Navigating Challenges and Rest

Learn about “the birth break”—a natural pause during transition when your body gathers strength for the final stage. This section also covers using your B.R.A.I.N.S. tool to make informed decisions with calm confidence during any unexpected moments.

06

Preparing for Birth and Beyond

Discover how to prepare your physical and emotional environment for labor. Whether at home, a birth center, or a hospital, and how to pack intentionally. You’ll also learn what to expect postpartum, from the golden hour through your first six weeks, including rest, bonding, and gentle recovery.

07

Feeding Your Baby
 

This final module covers the essentials of breastfeeding, milk supply and demand, common tools and techniques, pumping, and formula options. You’ll learn how to feed your baby confidently—whether at the breast, by bottle, or through combination feeding—while understanding the emotional and physical connection this time brings.

meet your educator

Hi, I'm your guide to a gentler birth.

I'm Dr. Abby Popp, DC, a prenatal and pediatric chiropractor, HypnoBirthing educator, and mom of four. My journey through motherhood and birth has shaped not only who I am as a woman, but also how I serve in practice. I believe birth can be calm, empowering, and deeply sacred when women are supported, educated, and trusted to follow their instincts. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing other mothers experience the beautiful, confident birth they’ve always hoped for.

“I went into this course terrified. By the end, I felt like I actually understood my body and what was happening to me. When my contractions started at 3am, I wasn't googling, I knew what to do. The breathing techniques alone were worth every penny.”
