“I remember watching the Orgasmic Birth documentary and feeling completely overwhelmed with awe of the unbelievable strength and magic of women’s bodies. I could not believe that I had never before seen birth or women presented this way – so incredibly powerful! So a few months later when we found out I was pregnant, I knew that this course was definitely one of the resources that I wanted to guide us through the preparation for the birth of our first baby. In a world so full of fearful and often conflicting information, the course felt like a cozy blanket to wrap into and soak up the peace and knowingness that deeper wisdom is at work when it comes to this magical transformation we go through as women and as families. An abundance of topics was presented in a truly holistic way that sparked our curiosity and excitement. The course was by far the best investment we made in our preparation of the birth of our first baby, as it left us not only informed but inspired, empowered and open to all possibilities. And now that our baby daughter is here, I have my own powerful home birth story to share!”

“This course is a must for first time mothers! It taught me so much, from such an open minded perspective that I wouldn’t have gotten from just reading books or attending workshops. The ‘Pleasurable Birth Essentials’ course is not just a bunch of facts or information about birth… but it’s an experience delivered via videos, stories, and downloads. This helps us absorb the material, so that when you’re in labor you can tap back into the program. Birth is an “in your body” experience as opposed to being a logical “in your head” thing, and I feel like this course really helps to ground women into their bodies and birth experience, gently over time. Each week was like getting a new understanding of what birth is really about, and how to work with your body’s natural cues rather than against them. Thanks to this course, I was able to give birth to our beautiful baby girl in the comfort of our home with an amazing team of midwives and my husband. My contractions were very gentle (so much that I didn’t realize I was having them!) and once active labor started, I was able to ride the waves and trust that my body knew how to bring this baby out. I truly believe that my quick 3-hour active labor was thanks to the relaxed and private environment, and to the attitudes that I learned from Debra and this course. Thanks so much for creating such a comprehensive and effective resource for moms-to-be!”

“The ‘Pleasurable Birth Essentials’ course has helped me so much! I have cleared so many deep fears, many of which I didn’t know were there below the surface, have broadened my perspective in relation to what’s possible for a healthy and pleasurable birth. I now feel so well equipped to ask questions, to seek out the best possible support team and to go with the flow, allowing my body and baby to do what they know best, what they were created for. Thanks again for a lovely program… I will recommend it!”

You know your friend that told you all about her horrible birth? She was scared from the start, and every bit of her birth was upsetting, traumatic, painful, and disempowering. She wishes she had done more research and prepared her body, mind, and heart for a better experience. I meet women everyday that wish they could go back and start over. They see that birth could have been different if only they knew more… You have the opportunity to find your power today.

Meet Your Teacher

Are you wondering who I am and where my passion for pleasure and birth comes from?

Do you question that birth could be anything but painful?

Are you curious about the connection between birth and sexuality?

Is natural birth the right choice for you?

I’ve spent the last 30 years traveling the world as a childbirth educator, doula, and doula instructor.

Now I want to share with you all the essential knowledge that I’ve picked up along the way – my secrets, my tools, and the inspiration for my work.

I will bring it to you right here at your fingertips.

You will hear my birth story inside the course, so I won’t spoil it here, but I will tell you that I took the time to educate myself when I was pregnant. I knew that I had the power within to give birth the way that I had intended to and I was determined not to let anyone put me down physically or emotionally.

After my son’s birth, I started to reflect upon my experience in birth and began to question why so many people accept our broken system as it was and go along with the assembly line of generic interventions, wanting to trust the process yet feeling inside that something was wrong with it.

I was inspired to provide relief to this issue, and so I became a childbirth educator. My role as a classroom educator evolved, and soon families began to invite me to attend their births.

I quickly learned that I had become a doula, and was part of the beginnings of the doula movement. I became one of the first DONA approved birth and postpartum doula trainers teaching parents, doulas, midwives, doctors and nurses around the world.

I have seen firsthand how current practices in birth often create pain when there are so many simple ways to reduce pain, making natural birth a much more feasible option, which is why the work I do as chair of the International MotherBaby Childbirth Organization and co-chair of the International Childbirth Initiative: 12 Steps to Safe and Respectful MotherBaby-Family Maternity Care is so important to me. 

I have learned that by taking away the power of birth, and by putting women in beds and hospital gowns, stripping away their ability to move, dance, and find joy in childbirth we have not only made birth more difficult, and more painful, but sadly we are missing out on an amazing opportunity to birth ourselves and our babies with respect, dignity, love, pleasure, and creating a heightened physical and emotional experience – one that I call Orgasmic!

Statistics have shown that we have pushed the limits of what technology can do for us, and now we know the many short and long-term consequences for Mother-Baby and Family when we use drugs and surgery when they are not needed.  

It’s my greatest desire to spread this knowledge by making it more accessible, and that’s why I created Pleasurable Birth Essentials: Transform Pain to Power! 

I am here to guide you to give birth in any setting or situation with more love, dignity, and respect.  

Come and join me and allow me to guide you on this sacred journey. Let’s have fun as I will inspire you to learn how to connect more deeply to your natural ability and to find pleasure in birth and life!
