Water is one of the most available comfort tools in birth, and one of the least explained. So here’s the whole 101 in one place.

What it does: warm water helps tense muscles release, and buoyancy takes roughly a third of your body weight off your back and hips. Your nervous system reads that combination as safe, which is exactly the state a laboring body works best in.

When to use it: once labor is well established, water tends to support things rather than slow them down. Getting in very early is what can take the edge off a bit too much.

What it doesn’t commit you to: laboring in water and birthing in water are completely separate decisions. Using the tub for comfort does not mean you’ve signed up for a waterbirth.

And if there’s no tub, you still have options. A shower at home in early labor, warm water on your lower back, something to lean into. Same warmth, same release.

In a recent study, people using HypnoBirthing® during labor were around 3x more likely to use water. Same hospitals, same tubs.

What changed was knowing it was an option.

Save this for your hospital tour.

Laboring like this sounds great, right?

If you want that then start now by saying this #affirmation daily. Visualize this scene daily. Make choices and take classes that can help prepare you for this. (Ehem… #hypnobirthing… Ehem… reach out to me)

Yasssss! Excellent post from @milliedpt
And if you want to learn breathing techniques you know who to call! (Me.. you call me 😉)

In #hypnobirthing , we believe #birth begins in both the body and the mind. It’s not enough to just learn labor positions. Using tools like #affirmations is an important aspect to cultivating a positive mindset for birth and really changing how we perceive,feel and experience birth from the inside out.

Who’s ready to prepare for a positive birth?

December flew by, but completing the #hypnobirthing program with such a wonderful group of #expectingparents was a highlight. These parents are taking control of their #birth narrative, seeking an experience that's empowering. I'm sending them love and support as they begin this new chapter. Parenting is a journey that starts with #pregnancy and shapes the #birth experience and beyond. I'm honored to witness these mothers blossom 🦋 and honored to have been able to witness their transformation. 🥰

How to binge your shows and support baby’s position 🤰📺

I’ll start by saying this: you already have a LOT on your mind during pregnancy — please don’t add one more thing to stress about! But for those who have the brain space, this one’s simple and makes a real difference.

When we lounge with our tail tucked under, the pelvis can’t move as freely and space in the back of the pelvis narrows. One evening like that is fine, but months of it can lead to small imbalances between baby and pelvis.

Try lying on your side instead, letting your pelvis stay neutral and mobile — a pillow between the knees, feet toward your partner for a foot rub (bonus points 😉 tell them Lindsay says it’s for your birth prep). Cozy and body-friendly!

Looking forward to all the new fall shows! What should I queue up next (or what should others save for postpartum recovery??)

BRM is all about teaching you how to work smarter not harder to have a more comfortable pregnancy, easier birth, and smoother recovery!

This #affirmation is perfect to remind you to welcome the sensation. Oddly enough, that is what can help labor progress. The only way baby can come is if we let the wave flow through our body and bring baby earth-side. If we create tension and resist the sensation then we inhibit the flow of labor.
So keep this affirmation in your mind when labor comes and you feel a sensation, smile and remind yourself how much you welcome it 💫

Wishing all of you new and expecting mamas a warm and happy New Year! 🤍

As you step into this new year—and into motherhood— remember it’s a becoming. It’s a season of deep growth, unfolding strength, and learning to trust yourself in new and powerful ways. Just like birth, this journey doesn’t always follow a straight path, but it always invites us to soften, to breathe, and to remain open to what’s possible.

May this year bring you faith in your inner wisdom, peace in your journey, and the knowledge that you already have everything you need within you.

Wishing you a year filled with calm moments, growth, and beautiful beginnings. 💕

Estee

Heartfelt words from a beautiful couple I taught years ago…2 birth stories in one! Thank you Jerome and Chelsea and a belated congratulations 🎉!
“I want to sincerely apologize for how long it has taken us to write you a review. Our delay has nothing to do with our feelings about the class—it was one of the best things we’ve ever done—but everything to do with how life accelerated right after.
To give you a brief update: a few weeks after your class, we moved to Norristown, PA, and our first son was born. Nine months later, we moved to Delaware, where Chelsea began residency and I started law school. Now, we’re in our final year of training, and we have two amazing boys!
Your class gave us the tools to manage the everyday stressors of life and be more mindful adults and parents. Chelsea and I practiced the daily affirmations together until our son was born, which made us feel incredibly connected and at ease. That bonding time helped us build a lasting discipline of daily family reading and nighttime stories.

The techniques were invaluable during both births.

For our first: We played the affirmations in the car on the way to the hospital, which made the long drive feel less stressful. Your advice about controlling the atmosphere was perfect—we brought our diffuser, dimmed the lights, and played a playlist of worship songs and your relaxation tunes. Every nurse and doctor who entered our room commented on how calming it was. It fostered a smooth, safe, and positive delivery.

For our second: We decided to labor longer at home. The breathing techniques, stretches, and positions you taught us were crucial. We breathed through the surges, and by the time we arrived at the hospital, Chelsea was in active labor. She pushed for less than 10 minutes and delivered our second son safely—with no need for an epidural! I was shocked.

For both pregnancies, Chelsea delivered at term and did not need to be induced.

Thank you for the amazing work you do, Estee. Your class was informative, welcoming, and empowering. We have never stopped singing your praises and will continue to refer people to you.”

We are a society that mostly depends on caffeine. Check out this info so your adrenals can function optimally and you can step into having a #positive birth!

The caffeine addictions run deeper in people than anyone realizes.

Not at the fault of anyone drinking or eating caffeine, instead, it’s unfortunately a need because so many people barely function at their best without their coffee, cacao, black teas, green teas, sodas, matcha and other forms of caffeine.

One of the problems with long-term caffeine use is its ability to draw precious hydration out of cells and tissues.
This constant water draw out of facial tissue leads to wrinkles created by caffeine.

But it doesn’t stop there—long-term caffeine use that touches the lips can draw precious resources out of the lips, creating thinner lips over time including smoker’s mouth, which doesn’t require smoking at all, just the consumption of a caffeinated beverage.

In this episode, learn critical information about caffeine that may apply to your health and life.

Congratulations to this beautiful family of four, Mallory @gotmabuzzon and Mike (June 2025 class) on the birth of their new baby girl 🐣!

Here is her story 💗:
“Exactly one week ago, on August 25th at 4:06am, we welcomed our second daughter—Calliope Skye—earthside. I can’t believe it’s already been a week as a family of four. Time has flown, yet it feels impossible to remember life before we were all together ♥️
At 12:38am, I was jolted awake by deep, hollow pelvic cramps. I figured I just had to use the bathroom, but even after peeing, the cramps didn’t stop. Braxton Hicks, I told myself. I crawled back into bed, pillow between my legs, and started timing. Four contractions later, the app blared: “Go to the hospital.” I laughed—that’s just legalese, surely it says that to everyone. No way this was it. I lay there for ten more minutes, watching Penelope sleep, before finally getting up because lying still had become unbearable.

Mike had fallen asleep in the guest room, as he often does after late-night work. By the time I made it downstairs, the contractions had intensified. I had to stop, breathe, and move through them. One look at me under the bedroom light and he was instantly awake, calling his parents to come over.

Between contractions, I barked out instructions while he frantically packed the hospital bag I had planned to finish the next day. His parents arrived around 2am; we kissed our sleepy firstborn goodbye and headed out.

The car ride was, hands down, the most uncomfortable of my life—but I tried to stay loose and relaxed 😅. We pulled into Christiana at exactly 2:22 (my angel numbers!) and headed into triage. At that point, speaking was impossible; I just kept moving, while Mike handled registration.
The nurse checked the baby’s heart rate and my vitals—everything looked good. She asked me to change and give a urine sample, but I was sweating, contracting, and in no state to even try. I stripped off my shorts and braced for a cervical check, half-hoping I was still overreacting.

The Throat–Cervix Connection 🌀

Did you know that tension in your jaw or throat can directly affect your pelvis and cervix? It’s true — the body is deeply interconnected.

Doulas and birth workers often observe that when a birthing person holds tension in the throat or jaw, it can create tightness in the pelvis. That’s why during labor, they encourage vocalizing, jaw relaxation, and deep breathing—to help the body open and soften.

A relaxed mouth can support a relaxed cervix.
An open throat can support an open womb.

The body speaks in connection ❤️‍🔥

@withregram • @cycleseeds Allow your voice and your truth 🫶
It actually supports your uterus!

When you allow words to sit like lumps in your throat, you carry a mirroring tension in your uterus and pelvis.

Swipe to the last slide for some simple exercises to release this tension 🎶

I love when fathers create their own personal #affirmations in my class! Yes, both moms AND dads prepare their minds and bodies for #birth and the welcoming of their baby in my #hypnobirthing series.

What are you doing to prepare your mind and body for the most monumental thing you will ever do?

#positiveaffirmations #positivebirth #positivemindset #phillybirthclass #phillyhypnobirthing

Hey, it’s been a while! Let me reintroduce myself! 👋

I’m Estee and I love my work helping #pregnant moms prep their mind and body for #pregnancy, #birth and #postpartum .

But first and foremost I’m a wife, mom and COMMUNITY MEMBER.

Last night I went to a lovely event for a community organization that helps couples access fertility treatments. Although I love working with #pregnantmoms I have a soft spot for those who are struggling to conceive. There are more people out there struggling with infertility and secondary infertility than we are aware and my heart goes out to them. It’s not easy on a physical, emotional or spiritual level for those dealing with that challenge.

So if you are someone or you know someone struggling with this, know that you are not alone and I’m sending you lots of love and support ❤️.

Xo,
Estee

Iron deficiency mimics anxiety and panic attacks. B12 deficiency presents as severe depression. Zinc deficiency causes intrusive thoughts. Magnesium deficiency triggers mood swings.

**Comment MASTERCLASS for a seat in our upcoming 🆓 training on the 4 Stages of Postpartum Depletion.**

Yet the system never taught us to look here first.

Here’s the gap we’re all working in:

🩺 Medical school: 4 hours of nutrition training total
📚 Nutritionists: Zero hours on postpartum-specific nutrition
🧠 Mental health training: Symptoms → diagnosis → treatment

🔬 Standard protocol: Depression screening, not depletion screening

So we do what we were trained to do. We’re excellent clinicians working within a broken framework.

But what if we had the tools to prevent these issues from arising?

This isn’t about mothers being “depleted by design.”This is about us having the knowledge to keep them nourished.

When we understand postpartum nutrition:

- We can prevent many mental health symptoms before they start
- We can differentiate between depletion and depression
- We can offer targeted interventions that actually address root causes
- We become the providers we dreamed of being

You became a provider to help mothers thrive, not just survive.

You deserve the tools to provide the care you envisioned.

Comment MASTERCLASS for info on the 4 Stages of Postpartum Depletion Masterclass coming live next week! Join us live to uncover how depletion progresses, why the healthcare system keeps missing the real root cause of maternal decline, and the framework that’s changing everything.
