Voice is the missing piece of birth preparation.
Somewhere along the way, we forgot that we were born by song.
For thousands of years, women sang through pregnancy. They sang through contractions. They sang their babies earth side and sang them into sleep. This is not new wisdom, it is ancient remembering.
Even before hearing develops, the baby senses vibrations that travel through the waters that surround them. By 23 weeks, the ear is structurally formed, hearing is the first sense to be developed.
Before a baby knows light or touch, they know their mother’s voice.
Prenatal singing is research-backed, body-held wisdom that reduces fear, opens the breath, regulates the nervous system and deepens the bond between mother and baby before, during and after birth. It is ancient ritual, it is real, it is beautifully raw.
The world needs more people who can teach it.
Imagine this…
A pregnant woman arrives at your session tight with fear. By the end, she is humming, swaying, trusting her body.
A birthing woman uses a tone you taught her to ride the wave of a contraction and feels powerful instead of afraid.
A new mother holds her baby and sings the lullaby she learned with you, and both of them exhale into belonging.
This is what you will be equipped to create.

Kendy Gable
Birth is an incredible thing, it is a moment of being in-between worlds, a moment of transformation. I used my voice in both of my births to find comfort, to get lost in breath and sound, it was how I stayed in my body and out of my head.
After my first birth in 2018, I felt the pull to become a doula and began researching everything I could find on prenatal singing. I discovered that in France it is known and practiced, but almost nowhere else in the western world. This led me on a my search for knowledge! I looked at current research on singing in pregnancy, I studied anthropological works that note singing in Indigenous Communities and I curated vocal tonings, breath exercises and a songbook that is healing, heartfelt and absolutely beautiful.
For six years I have been leading prenatal singing groups, individual sessions and partner sessions and the feedback from mothers has been astounding. They found strength and solace in their voices. Most saying, ‘I could never have done it without my voice.’
This work is important and I knew when I began that training more facilitators wasn't optional, it was necessary. So here we are!
I want to give you the tools to offer life-changing singing sessions.
I'm not just teaching you a curriculum. I'm passing on a living tradition, it is one that has the power to transform how women experience one of the most profound moments of their lives.
Questions? I'd love to hear from you.
