 The Complete Guide to Freebirth Â
A philosophical childbirth education for the free-thinking woman
Dive InTrusted by over 10,000 women and families worldwide.
The Complete Guide to Freebirth is a self-guided course born from lived experienceânot theory. Drawing from the musings, insights, and over 20 years of birth work by mothers and educators Emilee Saldaya and Yolande Norris-Clark, this course offers a rare blend of practical wisdom and deep feminine philosophy.
Rather than simply teaching you what to know, it invites you into how to knowâthrough instinct, embodiment, and trust in your own design.
YOU ARE POWERFUL - BIRTH LIKE IT
Â
Imagine thisâŚ
How would it feel to knowâdeep in your bonesâthat you have the power to give birth to your baby blissfully and freely at home?
What if you were so knowledgeable and grounded in your choices that the success of your homebirth or freebirth felt inevitable?
Imagine understanding the terrain of natural birth so clearly that you could confidently discern when (and if) further action or medical attention might be neededâand, even more powerfully, knowing how to prevent most complications before they arise.
This kind of confidence changes everything.
Now, imagine no longer being shaken by a friendâs fearful comment or a relativeâs disapproval. You have the language, the knowledge, and the inner certainty to explain your choicesâor to simply smile, knowing they donât need to understand.
When youâre anchored in truth, the noise fades. The opinions of others lose their grip. And what remains is youâcentered, informed, and deeply ready to birth in your power.
Â
FREEDOM AND PEACE FOR YOU AND YOUR BABY
You and your baby deserve the freedom, peace, and power that freebirth offers.
Maybe youâve already devoured all the popular homebirth books, and you follow every natural birth account on Instagramâbut without a solid understanding of how physiological birth actually works, and why freebirth uniquely protects and supports that physiology, the path forward can feel uncertain.
Even with the best intentions, itâs easy to get lost in a sea of opinions, conflicting advice, and fear-based messaging. When doctorsâand even most midwivesâinsist that birth outside the system is dangerous, doubt can creep in fast.
Thatâs why real lived wisdom matters. Not just information, but true understandingâthe kind that grounds you so deeply in your own knowing that fear loses its hold.
Begin Today
Of course, you want whatâs best for your baby.
But you canât shake the feeling that the hospital might not actually be the safestâor most supportiveâplace for you to give birth.
Still, you might wonder: Can I really feel comfortable giving birth at home?
Youâre not just looking for more informationâyou want tangible guidance. You want to know how to manage fear, what to truly expect, and how to create a plan that feels clear, grounded, and doable.
And like so many women, you might also be wondering how to bring your partner into this visionâhow to help them understand your deep desire for a beautiful, peaceful, and powerful homebirth.
