Meet Katie

Katie has 3 children and each of their births has had a tremendous influence on her life, leading her on the path to realizing her passion for empowering mothers on their own journeys. She loves reading, especially books related to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Give her a book, a warm cup of tea, fuzzy socks, and a cuddly blanket and she is a happy camper. Her own motherhood journey took place in Stuttgart Germany. Her first birth was a challenge, one which she was unprepared to meet and it was not easy. She walked away feeling disappointed in her body but happy to be a mother. Those difficulties motivated her to make some changes. The next time she was pregnant, she took a birth preparation course and gained some tools for labor. She rocked that birth and it was truly transformative. She walked away feeling powerful and strong. This experience inspired her to become a birth worker and help women put their feet on the path to a powerful, positive birth.

Meet Stephanie

Stephanie is passionate about her work as certified yoga teacher, doula, childbirth educator, and personal mentor. Stephanie is the founder of Bhava Birth, a yoga and meditation-based childbirth education course. She believes that birth is a spiritual right of passage and a profound opportunity for personal growth. Her speciality is merging Eastern wisdom with Western research in an effective multidisciplinary approach. Above all else in the birth experience, Stephanie values sovereignty, consent, and whole-body attunement.

Stephanie loves to travel, write, spend time in nature, have deep one-on-one conversations, and avoid crowded places. Her happy place involves wool socks, a hot beverage, a cozy sweater, and something to write on. Her introverted nature brings a sense of calm and depth with her wherever she goes. Stephanie is married to Nicolas, an intuitive deep tissue massage therapist, personal development coach, and Tai Chi instructor. Together they're raising four awesome children in beautiful Provo, Utah.

Stephanie discusses what led her to naming her business Bhava Birth. It's a Sanskrit word that translates to becoming. When it's spelled bhavah it translates into giving birth. The etymology shows a deep and profound connection between these two processes, of birth and becoming. If you'd like to learn more please visit www.bhavabirth.com
