RAW + READY.
A bold birth preparation package for women who want to do it their way!
You’ve done the classes, read the books, listened to the podcasts… and yet, you’re still not feeling fully aligned and ready to birth. You want a powerful, low-intervention birth, but instead of feeling calm and confident, you’re clouded by endless appointments, advice, opinions, hospital policies, and the little voice in your head asking, “Am I actually going to be able to do this, am I really ready for birth?”
I get it, It’s draining! You’re sick of trawling through Instagram tips, tired of well-meaning friends (and strangers) projecting their birth stories onto you, and you’re done with the midnight Googling that leaves you more anxious than informed. You don’t want to just “wing it” and hope for the best, you want to feel aligned, confident + READY in your body and mind when the big day comes.
You’ve possibly been told to “Just go with the flow, don’t bother planning for birth, it’s unpredictable anyway.”
In a way this sounds almost freeing, if you just surrender, everything will work out how it’s supposed to? This advice confuses surrender with passivity and in reality: choosing to “go with the flow” doesn’t make birth easier. It often means;
getting swept up in the system.
accepting interventions you didn’t want.
making big decisions in the heat of the moment.
Yes, birth has a level of unpredictability, but that is exactly why preparation matters. Without real tools, mindset, and partner alignment, “going with the flow” usually means going wherever you’re nudged.
Raw + Ready isn’t another class or checklist
It is a third-trimester birth preparation package, created to support you and the birth you’re dreaming of, it’s a wholistic approach that blends -
Acupuncture + bodywork to get your body primed.
Movement, mindset + fear release techniques to build confidence.
Birth partner alignment so know with confidence they’ve got your back.
Evidence-based info to ensure you are fully informed.
Practical tools (TENS machine, CUB birth stool, Birth Sling + more!)
Postpartum debrief -to share your birth story + receive healing.
Raw + Ready goes beyond theory and gets you embodied in your preparation, so you can move from hoping you can handle birth, to knowing you can!

Meet Emma.
I’m Emma, an acupuncturist and women’s health practitioner with 15+ years of experience supporting women through fertility, pregnancy, and birth. I hold a bachelors of health science in Acupuncture and am undertaking a Master in Women’s Health Medicine. Alongside my clinical work, I also have qualifications in Yoga, Pilates and Breathwork. My experience puts me in a unique position to see the whole picture of what your body and mind need throughout pregnancy and in preparation for birth.
I created Raw + Ready because too many women approach birth feeling unprepared, choosing to go with the flow, and disconnect from their power. My approach meets you where you’re at, blending all of my training and experience into an offering that aligns your body, mind and belief systems and ensures your birth partner knows how to show up and support you when it matters most.
Raw + Ready is more than information, it’s embodiment, confidence, and knowing you are more than prepared to meet birth however it unfolds. Imagine walking into birth feeling powerful, calm, and aligned. Together, let’s make that your reality.
“You had a big impact during my pregnancy journey, I felt so much better after the appointments. Your kindness to hear all my doubts and struggles, sharing with me your knowledge helped me to keep strong for my dream Vbac. Thanks for all your support, I would recommend you 100 times.”
Manuella.
“You were my pre-partum village, supporting me navigate decisions and preparing to have my desired birth experience.”
April.
“You were one of the first people who found out about my pregnancy and you helped me go from feeling awfully sick and alone, with no idea of the process of pregnancy and labour and the paperwork etc. you felt like an “instant friend” support person who had travelled the road before who I could trust for advice and who I could come to and be myself and you gave space for so much healing not just physically but emotionally thought out my pregnancy journey.”
Charlotte.
