Birth Magic: your path to an empowered, natural birth
Welcome to a transformational online birth preparation program designed to empower you, nurture your intuition, and guide you toward a natural, deeply aligned birth experience.
Hi, I’m Katie – your guide on this journey ...
I’m a mother of five, a doula for over 15 years, a pregnancy yoga teacher, and author of 'The Yoga of Birth' book. With thousands of teaching hours under my belt, I’ve supported women through every birthing context imaginable: at home, in hospitals, in birth centres – from no-intervention births to caesareans and everything in between.
Reflecting decades of experience, 'Birth Magic' is my first fully developed childbirth education program, designed to help you feel deeply resourced, confident, and empowered for the birth you desire.
What makes Birth Magic different?
Birth Magic is about:
- Trusting your body’s wisdom and intuition for birth.
- Navigating the medical system while staying in control of your decisions.
- Managing pain effectively with proven techniques tailored to your unique needs.
- Clearing ancestral imprints (Red Thread teachings) to free yourself of patterns that don’t serve you.
- Embracing your power to birth with confidence, autonomy, and peace.
Together we create space for you to trust yourself, your instincts, and your birth team – wherever and however you choose to give birth with no rigid techniques, overwhelming protocols, or unrealistic ideals.

Just wanted to express my gratitude and enjoyment and inspiration with your online birth course... it's been really thought provoking, empowering and practical. It helped me to handle the physical and emotional ups and downs - this course has been a big part of my uplifting.
I'm really excited for the journey ahead (including to more confidently teach prenatal yoga in the future)... thank you.

What you will learn
1. Pain Management Techniques That Work:
We focus on practical, adaptable techniques so you can navigate labour with confidence. Pain management is a skill you can learn, and I’ll show you how.
2. Navigating the Medical System:
Learn how to understand every intervention, your options, and how to advocate for yourself. Birth Magic ensures you make decisions, not someone else.
3. The Subtle Body in Birth:
Birth happens on may levels: physical, energetic, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
♥ Energetic: Learn to feel safe and supported to encourage optimal birthing outcomes.
♥ Mental: Train your mind to be your ally in labour.
♥ Emotional: Build trust, emotional strength, and self-belief.
♥ Spiritual: Experience birth as a divine, sacred portal – where the veils are thin, and grace is tangible.
4. Self-Advocacy & Trusting Your Instincts:
Birth Magic will help you communicate your needs, stay centred and trust your inner knowing – so you can make empowered choices and feel in control.
5. Preparing for Postpartum:
From breastfeeding, co-sleeping, and attachment parenting to Ayurveda-inspired care, Birth Magic covers the crucial days and weeks after your baby’s arrival.
Giving birth is wild, beautiful, and transformative. With Birth Magic, you’ll discover your strength, embrace the unknown, and enter motherhood feeling confident and supported.
You don't know what you don't know ... but Birth Magic will help you be prepared.
→ Keeping it simple. There won’t be lots of fancy techniques and protocols to follow. Mostly for a good birth experience we need to do LESS. But in our highly medicalised, over-thinking culture doing nothing and letting nature take its course is hard for us. Part of what you’ll learn here is how to get out of your own way.
→ Understanding interventions you’ll be offered and what your choices are (and yes, you always have choices) and how to navigate them so you feel like it was you who made decisions and not someone else on your behalf. This includes how to navigate the hospital system for the outcomes you want.
🌸 We birth our babies on an energetic level (pranamayakosha) – depending on whether we feel safe or supported (or not) impacts birthing outcomes and how we feel about the birth.
🌸 We birth our babies with mental power and control (manomayakosha) – your mind is your best friend or your worst enemy in childbirth – let’s make it an ally.
🌸 We birth our babies with emotional fortitude and self-belief (vinjanamayakosha) – this is a skill you can learn.
Ultimately our babies enter the world as spirit-soul (anandamayakosha) and each birth experience is a precious portal to the divine. A moment in time where the veils are very thin and we have an opportunity to witness God’s Grace if we can stay alert to it.
Many interventions impact the ‘subtle body’ for example an epidural blocks your prana nadis (meridians or energy lines) so you are disconnected from the energetics of what is happening. During a c-section procedure your lower chakras are disrupted (but there are things we can do to offer protection and I’ll teach you these techniques).
You don’t need to be interested in yoga to benefit from BIRTH MAGIC but if you are you’ll deepen your practice profoundly.

🌀 In labour you can trust your clear and certain mind – this program will help you to stay anchored in that.
🌀 You can trust your body (including knowing when something is wrong) if you’ve trained it to be an ally – this program will help you befriend your body so all parts of you can work together for birthing.
🌀 Some of what happens in labour is not about you – it is about your ‘Red Thread’ or karmic / energetic imprints you have received from your ancestral line. In this program we look at Red Thread teachings and we clear that which needs to be released from the energetics imprints you’re holding. In other words if there is trauma in your line we’ll work on dealing with it so it doesn’t impact you and the baby you’re bringing into the world.
🌀 You can trust your instincts as a mother and your own sense of ‘inner knowing’ on the journey of parenting – this program will help you tune into that.
🌀 You need to trust your support team – in this program we will look at what (and most importantly who) you need around to feel safe and we’ll create strategies to make sure the winning team is the one present for your birth.
🌀 Giving birth is an altered state and often the true you comes out. Some women need to be held and supported and to feel that they have a partner or caring companion very close. Others want to be left along and birth best in their own private bubble. Every birth is different and every woman is different. We also manage this along with the partners personality. Do they freak out seeing you in pain? Are they onboard with the birth plan and your priorities? We’ll dive into all of this so there are no unexpected surprises on the day.
🌀 We take radical responsibility; birth is not happening at you or to you. You get to choose. We don’t blame, we advocate, we accept and we work together. This is how self-trust and trust in your ability to have the birth you want unfolds.
🌀 We can create sacred space anywhere. Whether you birth in hospital, at home or anywhere else curating a bhav (sacred mood) is helpful and important. We can use oils, music, lighting and other tools to calibrate your nervous system to safety and I’ll share with you all the hacks and tips for doing just that.

WHAT WOMEN ARE SAYING:
"I am in awe of the teachings and wisdom held within Katie’s offerings"
I quickly found myself immersed in the richness of ancient wisdom, bountifully littered with aha moments and practical guidance to integrate the teachings into my own work and life.
From the power of knowing your own birth story to becoming informed about the choices available to us as women to make decisions about our own bodies, whether we choose to become mothers in the traditional sense or not, this course has so much value to offer yoga teachers, doulas and women in general (I wish girls were taught this in school!).
My journey through the course has been an unfurling of deep surrender, life-changing knowledge, and reconnection to the innate wisdom within and I am so excited to intertwine these teachings in my own offerings.

A bit more about your guide
Hi there, I’m Katie.
I’m well qualified to teach you about birthing choices and natural childbirth in Australia. Here’s why …
→ I’m a mother of 5 children. Three of them were born without intervention in a Birth Centre (one of these was posterior which was quite the challenge), one was born without intervention at home and one was a pretty gnarly birth involving an epidural and lots of screaming. So I’ve been through a fair spectrum of birthing experiences myself.
→ I’ve been a doula (childbirth support person) for over 15 years. I’ve supported the birth of many babies in various contents including at home, in hospital, in birth-centre and from no-intervention through to c-section and everything in between. I have also been a guest teacher for the Australian Doula College over many years.
→ I’ve written a book on birth (‘The Yoga of Birth’) which has sold thousands of copies and been in print for 15 years.
→ I run an online program (also called ‘The Yoga of Birth’) through which over 400 women have become prenatal yoga teachers.
→ I’m registered with Yoga Alliance as a pregnancy yoga teacher trainer and Yoga Australia as a prenatal training provider.
→ I have literally thousands of teaching hours over three decades under my belt sharing pregnancy yoga and birth preparation classes to women all over the world. Not to mention the thousands of hours I’ve spent caring for my own children with a largely attachment parenting based focus.
→ I’ve studied pre-natal care and childbirth education with Birthing from Within, MatriBirth Midwifery Institute, Australian Doula College, School of Shamanic Womancraft, Khalsa Way Prenatal Yoga and Calm Birth Method amongst others.
In all these years and with all this experience I’ve never offered my own Childbirth Education Program until now.
In Birth Magic my intention is to guide you the place in yourself where you are already deeply resourced for an empowered birth. I believe that the most important component in any woman’s birthing experience is not measured by how many interventions she has or the ‘story’ of the birth but how she FEELS during birthing and her capacity to stay in the centre of her own autonomy and power.
BONUS: Post-natal Focus
Your precious baby is a sprit-soul who has chosen you to be his or her mother for this lifetime. Connection to your baby is linked to connection to Spirit or God – as you anchor into this profound truth you’ll connect with your baby in the essence of magic and wonder that is the opposite of post-partum depletion or disconnection.
As well as focusing on birth-preparation and labour we will cover the first few minutes after a baby is born right up to 40 days post-partum.
I’ll share about immunisations, breastfeeding, attachment parenting, co-sleeping, baby-carrying and why personally I’m not into prams, pacifiers and cots (I’ve never used any of these things in almost 20 years of parenting five children and honestly for the most part it’s been easeful and my kids have been pretty content). And if you don’t want to do it that way all good – there is zero judgement here.
Let’s change the paradigm of birth
Far too often, women endure birth feeling powerless, unheard, and broken. This doesn’t have to be your story.
Birth Magic will empower you and your partner to:
🌸 Take radical responsibility for your birth experience
🌸 Choose the path that aligns with your values
🌸 Reclaim birth as a sacred, joyful rite of passage
Together, we lift each other up, one empowered mother and baby at a time.
Birth Magic is a group program and it’s also a portal to birthing as your most centred and ready self. We are focused on one specific intention, to empower you to choose every step of the way what is right for you and your baby.
Take a moment to imagine what so many women go through in birth – a sterile room buzzing with voices that drown out her protests, as doctors dismiss her requests and decisions with patronising reassurances. Stripped of agency, she endures the ordeal in silence, only to face an outcome far from the birth she had envisioned, leaving her feeling powerless and broken.
This does not have to be your reality. Even if you’re ‘high risk’, even if you’re having a caesarean, even if you’re scared of the pain and the unknowns you can have a birth experience aligned with your values that leaves you feeling empowered and grateful.
The truth is that birth choices exist on a spectrum. At one end we have women handing all their power (and lots of their money) over to an obstetrician who may be very heavy handed with interventions and lacking in the nuance of subtle birth energetics (I’ve personally witnessed doctors discussing their golf results while delivering babies – and yes I had something to say about that). On the other hand I’ve seen women bullied by ‘sovereign birth support’ doulas into not attending hospital or being shamed for seeking professional support. The good news is, there is a middle ground. We can engage all available help. You can be supported in your self-directed power and make use of medical support when you wish to. This program will help you navigate that journey.
Birth Magic will help you get there. My job is to lift you up, we do this work together and we change the paradigm of modern birthing one mother and baby at a time.
