Meet Sapir, your birth educator + mom of two.

When I was pregnant with my first baby, I quickly realized how overwhelming birth preparation could feel. As someone with a strong analytical background, I’ve always felt most confident when I understand what to expect and how to prepare. But as a first-time mom, I found myself asking the same questions so many women ask:

How does labor actually work? How do I prepare? What are my options? How can I feel calm, confident, and in control?

I immersed myself in learning everything I could. I studied the physiology of labor and birth, listened to countless birth podcasts, took prenatal yoga classes, and sought guidance from doulas and educators until I felt truly prepared.

That preparation changed everything.

I had an empowering unmedicated hospital birth with my first baby, followed by the peaceful home birth I had always dreamed of with my second.

But I also saw many women around me have a very different experience. They entered birth feeling underprepared, unsupported, and blindsided by decisions they never expected to face.

My approach combines evidence-based birth education, Lamaze-inspired techniques, and mind-body tools rooted in HypnoBirthing principles to help you feel informed, confident, and prepared for birth.

My goal is to help you replace fear and uncertainty with knowledge, confidence, and trust in your body. That’s why I created My Body Knows Birth.

If there is one message I hope every mother carries with her, it is this:

My body knows birth.

Welcome - I’m so glad you’re here. Ready to prepare for birth with confidence?
