Hey, I’m Kasia… the conscious mother’s guide

To introduce myself, it’s probably best that I share with you a defining moment, and resulting “compelling story”, that brought me to where I am today – coaching expecting mothers like you on exactly what to do to understand the birthing process, weigh all of your options, enjoy a healthy pregnancy, and navigate through your first natural birth.

That defining moment in my life happened in 2012.

I’m from Poland, but I got pregnant here in the U.S. Since I didn’t have my family here nor friends who had children, I really didn’t have a support system to help me. I was working in investment and corporate banking, a very organized analytical type. So I hopped on the internet to research the best possible doctors ever - I created this elaborate, perfect analytical table to help me identify the best doctor in the world. Inadvertently and without knowing it, this led me to a surgeon – that all ob/gyns are - who specializes in high risk pregnancies. Sure, she was the best in city, but I didn’t really know what I wanted and needed – I was a healthy newly pregnant woman and I just wanted the best possible care provider for me and my baby.

I went for my first visit with the fancy doctor and I was terribly disappointed by the experience. I waited forever. It was impersonal. I probably spent five whole minutes with the doctor. I had tons of questions about being pregnant and about the process, but she made it clear she didn’t have time for my questions because she was in a big hurry. I felt unimportant, small, and crushed. The best doctor in the city just demeaned me.

So clearly this doctor wasn’t attentive to my needs, so I went on to number two on my list. The second experience was even worse. I asked a question about doing a home birth, and she very dramatically shamed me by saying “if you choose to do a home birth, you could DIE!” Yikes! I realized quickly that my big fancy chart was failing me. I needed something else. I needed support - real support.

I came across the film, “The Business of Being Born,” and it exposed the seed within me that I wanted a natural birth. This film introduced me to midwives and home births and birthing centers and the myriad of options for giving birth in the 21st century. It was completely eye opening to me.

So I redirected my research to learning about all of my birthing options. I started interviewing midwives, learned about birthing centers, water birth and became obsessed with learning everything there is to know about being pregnant and planning for a natural birth. When you don’t know your options, you have none. But once you know all of your options and have the ear of a supportive guide to help you, you feel empowered.

I figured out how to navigate my pregnancy, chose my birthing plan, and started teaching other expecting mothers how they can do the same: I watched their confidence and empowerment soar! I have since made a commitment to dedicate the rest of my professional life to helping other moms-to-be learn about all of their options, filter that information and all the resources, help them release any fears, doubts or past traumas through healing sessions, guide them through nutrition, exercise, meditation, and mindset during pregnancy, and support them throughout their journey to motherhood.

Since then, I've completed countless trainings, I’ve worked with many private clients, spoken in front of multiple groups: I am living my dream of having a balanced life of purpose while I raise my daughter, run my own business, and travel to spiritual places all over the world; and I have created Empowered Birth System™, a series of 3 steps every expecting mother needs to apply to have a peaceful, healthy pregnancy and an empowering birth. I also serve expecting and new families as a holistic birth and postartum doula, healer, lactation counselor and many more.

Who are your clients?

I work with moms-to-be, new moms and women planning to get pregnant just like you who want the best for their babies and themselves. However, they might have no idea what the healthiest options are, they may have little to no time to read, research and discover all about it (and let’s be honest 9 months end up not being enough to filter through all the info out there!). My clients have mostly heard negative stories related to birth, and very often are somehow scared at a thought of a giving birth. Despite that, they are OPEN to DISCOVER and to BE GUIDED. They either already know that they want a physiologic unmediated birth or they are open and drawn to this idea. My clients also have a fundamental belief that a growing human(s) within their bodies is a matter of a pure miracle and are thrilled to celebrate it.

• Newly pregnant women who do not know yet how they want to birth but recognize that they’re drawn to the idea of a natural birth

• Moms-to-be who want to birth drug-free but have doubts that they will succeed

• Moms-to be who believe that the knowledge is power

• Moms-to-be who are not afraid to question things

• Moms-to-be who recognize that their privilege to become a mother is a part of a bigger Plan

• Moms-to-be who have it all researched and in place but who wish to deepen their connection with their babies, their partners, with the Universe, and who wish to release any remaining fears or doubts

• Women planning to get pregnant in the new future and who want the best start possible for their little ones

• Members of LGBQT community who are planning to get pregnant or are already expecting a baby and wish to have a positive birth experience

What makes you different from other “pregnancy & birth experts”?

I have no doubt you can have a natural childbirth if you commit to it. YOU CAN DO IT. YOU ARE BORN TO DO IT.

I’ve done it. I was walking in your footsteps before and had to find the way through the labyrinth of choices and options all by myself. I wasted a lot of time on doing this but I got it! Life has never been the same since. I was re-born, I found myself, I found my purpose, I found clarity, I found spirituality, I found ease and happiness. And I’m coming with all that transformation and positivity to work with YOU to facilitate your very own empowerment.

I will let you know upfront if I can help you.

I wear many hats and am combining them all while working with you. All my spiritual teachers are talking through me. I will share my wisdom with you, cheer you on your transformation journey and help you clear limiting blocks, fears and beliefs.

Although we will occasionally touch upon the actual breathing in labor and other “birth coach-y” things, you have me as a confidence, as a pregnancy & birth expert, as a consultant, as a guide and as a healer.

I work on the inner and outer principals for successful conscious birth experience and look at you, your baby and your environment from an organic and spiritual perspective. What that means to you is that you get a wise-sage-meets-enthusiastic-companion authentic pregnancy and birth mentor. I’m also spiritual and I am very open with it. You will feel it all through my mentoring. Because I went through a deep healing process myself that led me to becoming a healer, you will always find an understanding, relief and uplifting feeling while working with me. I am gentle and calm but will keep you accountable for getting your puzzles together.

I am determined to support you in finding your peace of mind, confidence and clarity FAST – to help you STOP wasting time and leaking your energy and your power where it doesn’t belong and get you focused on MIND-BODY-SOUL preparation for this amazing life-changing journey AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Years of working with expecting families taught me to be humble, sensitive to their views and beliefs and fully accepting. I’ve also developed the intuition of seeing the truth. The truth about what’s standing in the way of your empowerment and full confidence and how to get rid of it fast so that you can experience peaceful and pleasant pregnancy and conscious, empowering birth. If we work together, I will push you a bit beyond your comfort zone to explore the possibilities that you may have not even dreamed about. YOU will be the one who will make decisions and you will feel my full support and cheerleading all the way through. It is YOUR BABY, YOUR BODY, and YOUR BIRTH!

What type of personality do you work best with and what is expected of me?

The Conscious Pregnancy and Birth workshops, services and programs were created for people who are absolutely excited about discovering, exploring their options, breaking through any disserving them beliefs, fears and doubts, adopting healthy and uplifting new habits, making decisions in line with their intuition and ending what I call “the anxiety and give away your power syndrome” – by which I mean that you are willing to stop being afraid that something may go wrong or that you won’t be able to do it and that you are ready to stop handing over your driving wheel to others.

My programs were created for you to put actions in place within a few weeks, which will lead you to gaining more confidence, peace of mind, clarity, and enthusiasm so you can enjoy your pregnancy, embrace the miracle of creation and look forward to the day of your childbirth and to becoming a mom. That’s what I call FREEDOM.

Being spirited and determined myself, I’d known to work best with other spirited moms-to-be, women who are committed to their well-being and that of their baby and who are super-ready to learn and explore their options and just want to know exactly what steps to take to boost their odds of having pregnancy and birth experience they deeply desire.

You will be expected to take serious and consistent action. No excuses anymore, just a very different way of thinking and full support while you achieve this incredibly exciting goal: healthy, blissful pregnancy, peace of mind, self-confidence, fearlessness and conscious, empowering birth.
