Pregnancy can feel like a lot,
especially the first time.

There’s a lot of information, a lot of opinions, and a quiet pressure to figure things out quickly.

This is not more information to manage.

Calm First Pregnancy is a simple 7-day experience—short daily emails with a brief audio—to help you slow down, get oriented, and feel more steady in your body.

The How Birth Works Course

A gentle audio course that picks up where the 7 days leave off. It’s a quiet place to learn what your body already knows about birth, at the pace of your pregnancy.

  • 8 guided audio modules — with a suggested 13-week rhythm, and no schedule to keep up with.
  • 3 Coming Back to Yourself audios — short practices to return to whenever you need them.
  • Welcome & closing videos with Deb — bookending the journey from your first listen to birth.
  • The Companion Journal — a printable PDF to reflect alongside each module, if you’d like to.
  • Listen anytime, on any device — at whatever hour you’re actually awake.
