Creating the birth you’re hoping for while being prepared for the unexpected is the perfect way to be primed for birth! Karli Leonardo created Primed Birth Prep out of a passion for supporting women to proactively embrace their experience in pregnancy, childbirth and mothering. Karli’s professional birth experience began with attending births at the age of 16 and working as a doula before attendin
g Birthingway College of Midwifery in 2001. Several years as a midwifery apprentice led to the surprising realization that even attending hundreds of other women’s births couldn’t have prepared her to face the intricate individual journey that each mother must take. The birth of her first daughter in 2006 was an ‘everything that could happen – happened!’ kind of birth which intensified her devotion to assisting women in having empowered birth experiences. Primed offers local classes, private birth prep sessions, and online birth courses.
