About Shelley's Approach

Shelley’s approach is about preparing for more, not less—leaning into the intensity of birth rather than avoiding it. In her classes, you won’t just learn about labor; you’ll embody the essence of it through movement, breath, communal support and embodied practice.

She guides you to find your steadiness in the unknown, resilience in the face of intensity, and the grit to stay present—and she teaches partners to do the same. Shelley doesn’t hold back. Her classes are a wild ride, mirroring the raw, powerful journey of birth itself. Because she believes the best way to prepare isn’t to watch from the sidelines—it’s to step in and embody it.

Allow Shelley to guide you—through movement, laughter, raw truth, and real connection—into the heart of your own strength.

Words From Our Thriving Couples

Shelley's birth classes were one of the most valuable things that we did together in preparation for our son’s birth. While the books we read and the birth classes we went to together helped prepare us intellectually for labor and birth, Shelley’s class helped us to prepare physically, emotionally and spiritually. Her class allowed us to BE in our bodies together in a way that taught us how to labor more lovingly together. We used SO many postures from her class during labor...slow dancing, cat-cow, squats and lunges, among others. We also used so many of the breathing techniques and relaxation exercises. But most of all, it was the calm, centered, emotional connection that Shelley helps couples find in her classes that served us so well through our son's birth. We will definitely take her class again when we are ready to have another child!

We took Shelley's Birth Warrior classes and she prepared us not only physically for child birth but mentally and emotionally as well. Trust Shelley with your spiritual well being to prepare you for this incredible journey.”

R Kessel

There is no way I could have had the empowering birth that I had without this woman's guidance!

Elie Prana

The birth of my son would have gone completely differently had my partner and I not taken Shelley‘s Birthing From Within classes. She masterly combined left and right brain elements that prepared us both physically and emotionally for birth. I was able to avoid a cesarean by drawing on lessons I leaned in Shelley’s magical birth warrior Birthing From Within classes. If you do nothing else to prepare for birth, take Shelley’s classes - it’s absolutely worth it for both mothers and fathers (and your baby)

Emily

Shelley's teachings touched the deepest places of my heart (and continue to do so). Her Birthing From Within style classes fully prepared me and my husband for whatever birth outcome may have unfolded (and I really needed it, to say the least). My husband was a solid rock through the entire experience and it's all because of Shelley's guidance and preparation. Shelley's birth classes helped deepen my connection to my baby, my husband, and most importantly my innate strength as a mother.

And most of all, Shelley is such a fun, sweet, caring, lovely human being, and she carries an uplifting energy that any pregnant woman would appreciate! I highly recommend experiencing her magic!

Destin and Elie

Shelley's class gave me so much more than the strength to bring a life into the world, it gave me the strength and support I needed to be a mother.

Alison Gantz

Shelley’s wisdom and encouragement proved invaluable to me and my family and I am forever grateful.

Sharon Camarillo

Shelley’s Birthing from Within™ classes gave me such great insight into what to expect for labor. I was worried I would not know what to do to support my wife in labor and honestly had NO idea what to expect. All that we explored and talked about in Shelley's classes prepared me much more than I expected for the process of labor. Shelley shared numerous techniques on how to massage and help guide breathing for the intense moments and I found myself using these techniques in the heat of the moment and thank goodness for them!

Each class was unique and different and I drew from all the lessons. Seeing how intense this was for my wife, I am so glad I had the confidence to know what to do (and what NOT to do) during labor to support her and having Shelley prepare us was invaluable.
