"The Peaceful Pregnancy course is not just a childbirth education course, it's a course on how to shift your entire perspective on birth. We, as Christians, know that we have a Father who loves us dearly and wants to carry our burdens, but when it comes to labor and birth, we often forget that. Stephanie is amazing at walking through each phase of labor and sharing her practical, realistic tips on how to have a peaceful birth experience. If you're looking for a comprehensive childbirth education course from a Christian perspective, you've come to the right place. I finished her course feeling excited and I couldn't wait to share with every expecting momma in my life!"

"If you’re preparing for labor, I highly recommend The Peaceful Practices course- HIGHLY! It focuses on the soul care aspect of pregnancy & birth, getting your heart and mind centered on the One whom your help comes from. I’ve learned SO much and have truly loved it. Plus, the pretty resources that come with it are a sweet bonus.;)
- Kelsey, Mom of 2, student of "The Peaceful Practices" Course
"As a birth photographer, I am constantly observing the importance of the laboring mother’s mental journey as manifested in her emotions. (Heck! Emotions are the biggest storytellers in my work!)
But even my most prepared clients may expect to lean into their health, fitness, or knowledge to navigate their birth with ease. I can tell you firsthand, this is an insufficient “savior.” But the spiritual component for Christians? For many, this is an untapped resource for jumping the hurdles marking the journey, expected and unexpected. I’ve seen many scripture cards sit forgotten in the labor space.
But The Peaceful Pregnancy guides the Christian mother into spiritual practices that will prepare hearts not only for labor, but the ongoing labor that is motherhood.

"I left Shea’s class feeling like I didn't just have pain and the "curse of Eve" waiting for me but rather feeling God's immense mercy and love for me that made provision in the pain of childbirth through the various hormones and way that our bodies are designed to birth. There's a difference between teaching material and presenting information and she teaches.
So, if you're on the fence about whether or not to take the Peaceful Pregnancy course, I would 100% say, "Go for it!" If your experience is anything like mine, not only will your mind be challenged, but your heart will as well."
- Joanna, first time mom & previous student of The Peaceful Pregnancy
“This class has been GOLD. I highly recommend as you prepare for childbirth-whether now or later. It has been SO GOOD for my soul. I feel prepared in areas I don’t feel I’d be without this course! Thank you for leading and pointing us towards Christ- our peace.”

Your Instructor
I'm Shea and I am the creator of The Peaceful Pregnancy. I'm wife to Noah, mom to 5 totally cool humans. I call AK, NV, & NC home. I've spent the last few years teaching Childbirth Education in my community. Now I spend time creating content to help you have "real peace for real birth." I've had my 5 babies many different ways (water birth, hospital birth, out of hospital, no interventions, some interventions, and lots of interventions.)
It's all grace.
I want you to feel equipped for a low intervention birth and prepared to "train your heart towards hope & your body towards rest" in a way that makes that low intervention birth more likely & that high intervention birth more peaceful.
I love books, rain, plants & coffee. I pray heaven serves warm croissants each morning. If not, Jesus will be enough.
