Completely changed my perspective, so helpful!

After epidural births, this really helped changed my perspective for my next. Amazingly helpful resources that are authentically Catholic.

A must have

I’ve loved having this as a resource to accompany me in my pregnancy journey!!

Helpful!

So glad I found this app before my labor.

Just What I Needed

I’m pregnant with my sixth child and have been looking for meditation help leading up to birth. We have so much going on right now that I’m having trouble settling my brain. This app is perfect. The prayers and the meditation tracks wonderfully meet my needs. I’m so glad I found this app!!

Beautiful, must-have resource during pregnancy and beyond!

Mary's book is the perfect resource for any expectant mother, but especially Catholic, Christian women yearning for a more in-depth and faith based approach to their pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. I loved how she intertwined her knowledge as a certified doula, mother, and woman of faith into a beautifully written, thoughtful, and easy to understand book. I couldn’t recommend her book, app, and website more!

Catholic Christ Centered Hypnobirth

As a birth doula of 12 years I’ve been a fan of Mary’s book since it came out inn 2018. Now that I’m preparing for my own birth this app has combined some of the essentials for mindfully and intentionally letting your amazing body birth your baby. The fact that there are different affirmations for focus and breathing is incredible, but compared to other affirmation apps with tracks to listen to, this one is Christ centered and includes the holiness of birth. This is such a gift to Catholic mothers. Thank you!

Great resource!

Such an awesome Idea and so handy to have, especially for mommas with kids. I really love the audio resources, it has truly been a blessing to come across the book and the app.

Second Time Home Birth Catholic

My first home birth was kept mostly secret from family/friends l and I went in very confident after doing so much research. Thanks be to God everything went smoothly. My second time around I felt so much anxiety. I felt like everyone knew I was birthing at home and it just made me uneasy. I was also busy with a toddler and had no real downtime to mentally prepare. I started reading Mary’s book and boy was it the answer to my prayers. It had so much good information. Then, I found out about the app. I had prodromal labor the 24 hours before my actual labor. I popped on my AirPods and listened to the prayers/affirmations in the app in between naps. Then came my labor, I breezed through early labor. As soon as active labor picked up, the Litany of Mother Saints began to play. I felt empowered, like each Saint I named was in the room with me. I started listening to the rosaries once I got into the pool. Transition started and I stalled in my labor pool at 8 cm. My midwife noticed some blood and we moved on to the bed. I started to worry, but kept praying with the rosaries playing in my ears. Within 7 minutes on the bed and three pushes my beautiful baby girl came earth side. She was 1.5 lbs heavier than my first and I had no tearing. It was a such smooth labor that I felt less mentally prepared for. I really believe it was all thanks to the prayers and affirmations in the app that kept me focused. This app is very different than the “Christian” focused programs I used in the past. This app and book focuses on the beauty of suffering. It’s hard to not feel pain or have a pain-free birth for me, but this program doesn’t embrace labor being pain-free, rather, it explains that labor is doable because God’s will be done. Mothers go on their own Calvary and what an honor and privilege that is. Thank you so much for this program 🙏🏼

Empowering

This app along with the book were instrumental in helping me have a natural, unassisted birth, the way God designed me for. The prayers and meditations were particularly excellent the week leading into my homebirth. Thank you Mary!

Helpful and Beautiful

Reading Mary’s book allowed me to start my journey to achieving the most beautiful birth with my third child. The faith, the guidance, and just the overwhelming sense of confidence you get when you read the book - you truly believe your body was made for this! The app does all of this and more. The prayers, meditation, the affirmations - it’s all such a compliment to the book and information she gives. I’m pregnant with my 4th and am already loving getting my mindset in the right direction for the birth that I want to have! This app is such a convenient way to have any and all information, prayers, and whatever help you need that day right in the palm of your hand.
