Online Workshop for Expecting Parents and Birthworkers
TAP INTO THE FULL POWER OF THE BIRTHING BRAIN FOR A CALMER, UNMEDICATED BIRTH
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to work with your body’s natural rhythms and tap into intuitive, trance-like states that ease pain and deepen presence during birth.
Whether you’re birthing or supporting, you’ll explore the powerful, often overlooked inner terrain that makes unmedicated labor more centered and connected.
Date: Sep.16th @ 7:00 pm EST
Where: Live on Zoom (recording will be available for 14 days).

Why Altered States Matter
When people give birth, they naturally shift into deep, intuitive states of consciousness. These are often described as trance-like, dreamlike, or timeless.
But most of us aren’t taught how to work with these states—or how to stay in them when distractions, fear, or external interventions pull us out.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to intentionally enter and stay in these altered states and transmute pain into power.
Tap Into Altered States of Consciousness
for a Centered, Unmedicated Birth
You’ve been told that labor is intense. Maybe even overwhelming.
What if you could meet that intensity with calm, clarity, and deep inner trust?
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to access and work with the natural altered states your brain and body are wired to enter during labor—so you can stay present, grounded, and connected (even when things get intense).
This is for you if you want to birth—or support birth—from a place of centeredness, not survival.
You’ll learn:
-
What altered states of consciousness are—and how they show up in labor
-
The neuroscience behind trance, intuition, and embodiment
-
How to access and anchor into these states (for yourself or clients)
-
What blocks altered states in labor and how to minimize interruptions
-
Mind-body tools to support unmedicated or low-intervention births
-
How to practice using altered states for emotional regulation, pain coping, and spiritual connection
"Birthing my baby was a transcendent and spiritual experience."
-Stephanie Aines

-
Anyone curious about the deeper layers of birth—beyond just what to expect
Whether you’re birthing for the first time or holding space for the hundredth, this workshop will deepen your relationship to birth as a mind-body-spirit experience.
