Birth Compass™

You can navigate even the toughest peaks.

Birth Compass™ is a simple, real-time orientation tool designed to support clarity, grounding, and choice during birth — especially in moments of intensity, uncertainty, or rapid change.

Rather than teaching techniques or scripts, Birth Compass helps you re-orient: to your body, your surroundings, your values, and your options — so decisions feel more grounded and less reactive.

This short, guided online video teaches you a tool for real-time use during birth.

This program may be a good fit if…

  • You want something simple to return to when things feel overwhelming

  • You worry about freezing, dissociating, or losing a sense of agency during birth

  • You want support that adapts to what’s happening rather than forcing a plan

  • You are navigating a hospital, birth center, or home setting

  • You want a tool that can be used by you and the people supporting you

You do not need prior preparation or a specific birth plan to use Birth Compass.

What Birth Compass Is (and Isn’t)

Birth Compass is:

  • A grounding and orientation tool

  • Designed for use during birth

  • Flexible, responsive, and non-prescriptive

  • Usable in any birth setting

Birth Compass is not:

  • A philosophy or method

  • A set of instructions

  • A guarantee of a specific outcome

  • A replacement for medical care or informed consent

Birth Compass exists to support awareness — not control.

How Birth Compass Works

Birth Compass uses a simple, repeatable process — P.O.G.S. — designed to support orientation during birth.

Pause: A brief interruption to slow escalation and create space before responding.

Orient: Bringing attention to what is happening right now — in your body and in your surroundings — to re-establish a sense of presence and direction.

Ground: Using simple sensory or physical anchors to support regulation and reduce overwhelm.

Step: Identifying one clear next step, rather than trying to solve everything at once.

This process can be revisited as often as needed. Birth Compass doesn’t ask you to analyze or decide ahead of time — it supports orientation in the moment.
