Upcoming Workshops
If you're planning a VBAC, you already know the fight starts long before you get to the hospital. It starts the minute you tell your provider what you want — and find out whether they're actually with you or just saying what you want to hear.
I said it to a judge while I was in labor, fighting for my own VBAC: "Thank you, Your Honor, for spending two hours on a Sunday fighting for my baby and my vagina." I advocated for a VBAC three times and I didn't get the VBAC I wanted. The last time, they called a judge on me — and I fought my way out of that courtroom. Now I'm teaching you how to fight for yours.
In this class, you'll learn how to:
- Advocate for your VBAC birth, from pregnancy through delivery
- Know your options — what you can say no to, and what you can ask for
- Recognize coercion vs. informed consent — and push back when the line gets crossed
- Find a truly VBAC-supportive provider

Your teacher:Doula Cherise Doyley — court-ordered C-section survivor, birth justice activist, and doula since 2018. I've sat where you're sitting. I know what it feels like when the people who are supposed to protect you start pressuring you instead. This class is everything I wish someone had taught me.
You deserve to feel confident, prepared, and supported - during pregnancy AND postpartum
Whether this is your first baby or your fifth, whether you're planning an unmedicated birth or scheduled for a C-section, whether you have a doula or you're going it alone with your partner - you deserve to know your options, understand your rights, and feel ready for what's ahead.
That's what we do here. We prepare families to advocate for themselves, navigate the medical system, and protect their peace during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
This isn't about fear. This is about power.
