A simple guide to breath, mindset, movement and nutrition. Created from my personal preparation for natural birth.
Prepare for Birth Calmly and Confidently

If you're preparing for birth and feeling unsure where to begin, this is a simple place to start.I’ve created two resources to support you.
The first is a short video series where I share how I personally prepare for birth — including breathing, movement, nutrition and mindset.
The second is the Birth Preparation Guide, which brings everything together in one clear place with simple practices you can follow during pregnancy.

A note from Naomi
When I was preparing for my first birth, I remember wishing someone would simply sit down with me and say, “Here’s what actually helped me feel calm and ready.”
Not overwhelming advice. Not clinical language. Just real preparation from someone who had walked through it.
That’s why I created Before Birth.
Everything you’ll find here comes from my own experience preparing for natural births. The small daily practices that helped me feel grounded, confident, and connected to my body. My hope is that when you move through this guide, you don’t feel pressure.
You feel calmer.
More trusting of your body.
And more prepared for the birth ahead.
