Achieve a safe, natural, & POSITIVE birth experience

HERE’S HOW TO GET STARTED!

Download the app

Some tools are too good not to share! The Ecco Natural Birth app will guide you through your “Birth Day” adventure. Parents often grow nervous and forgetful when delivery day arrives, but not to worry! The app offers quick guidance on pain management, positioning, birth complications and more.

The app pairs best with my all-inclusive birth course, but it’s great on it’s own too!

FREE!

Take the Birth Course

Science-backed and info-packed, I promise you won’t find another course like this one. This is the only class with a companion app, self-paced learning modules, & private consultations with your very own birth educator - me! I rely heavily on story-telling (the most effective learning tool btw!) to guide you through labor, pain, common fears, misconceptions, and more.

Get the Facts

Read the blog! Every tip, trick and fun fact has been carefully sourced from the most credible authorities on physiological childbirth. Research is my hobby, sharing what I have learned is my passion. I sincerely care about you and your baby and hope that you can use this information throughout your parenting journey.
