She underscores the importance of practicing autonomy during prenatal appointments to build confidence for labor and delivery.
Trish highlights the benefits of her online birth classes, designed to empower expecting mothers by providing them with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate labor confidently.
“ I am so passionate about changing this birth culture, not just for you guys, but for my own daughters, for my daughter-in-laws, because I don't want you guys to go through what I had happened to me and what I've seen thousands of women go through - we can't do this anymore. We have to stand up and bring that power into the birth room.” - Trish
