YOU FEEL CALLED TO THIS WORK.
Deep in your womb you know and honor the power and significance of childbirth as a sacred rite of passage. Thank you.
But it can, quite honestly, feel DRAINING and DEPLETING to witness the widespread pain and trauma currently prevalent in birth over and over and over again.
In a culture where women are still fighting to reclaim autonomy and safety in our own bodies, where fear dominates our options and guides our decisions, and our religious and cultural inheritance maintain that women should suffer in birth, transforming the culture of birth is no small task. It is not enough to hold the vision for highest outcomes. It is not enough to have the support skills.
You must tend to YOU and your body to be truly effective in your transmisssion.
We are overdue for a change. And NOW is that time.
Become a part of the global movement to elevate consciousness and experiences in childbirth.
There are Ecstatic Birth Practitioners in 25+ countries.

What you will get from the
"So much!!! So much inspiration, expansion, release. I learned what it means to truly love myself, to reclaim my pleasure, to focus on living from a state of turn on.
The knowledge I've received + embodiment I've learned has not only helped transform my life, but will also help the countless birthing women and mamas to whom I'll pass this on to."
Jenny Braxton
Birth Visionary, Community Leader & Educator Oregon, US
"No longer seeing women as victims in the labour wards. That is HUGE for me. I am understanding that all I need to do is embody the alternative I believe in. And that can only be pleasurable.
This training is also encouraging me to pleasure the other aspects of myself. Not just the doula but the creator and the mover. Which I am so thankful for."
Samara Concepcion
Birth Doula, Somatic Movement Specialist London, England
"Clarity. Understanding that I am responsible to nourish my soul and listen to her. Listen to my body and honor that as opposed to doing what I think I should do based on outer expectations or a belief in something that doesn't resonate with my deepest truth. Speaking up more about what's possible for birth and what my truth is."
Debra Samadhi Woods
Birth & Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator Vancouver, CA
"The knowledge and the skills to further elevate the experience of birth for my clients all the while maintaining my bliss and pleasure throughout the peaks and valleys of childbirth!!
As a woman, I feel an even greater sense of love, passion, admiration, appreciation, and respect for myself and my body as well as of those of other women."
Sharon Arazi
Birth Doula and Midwife's Assistant New York, US
How it works...
Core Curriculum
The curriculum is desined to be both professionally and personally transormative. Each month you receive a new module of materials available online, on demand, including videos, transcripts, worksheets, and body practices.
You personally do all the practices and embody the gifts of pleasure so that you can be truly effective when you share them with your clients.
You gain powerful skills to better help your clients experience birth as the natural and ecstatic rite of passage it was meant to be, while simultaneously nourishing your own body while you support your clients rather than draining it.
To support your fullest integration, there are monthly live gatherings and coaching calls with Sheila for each module as well as monthly community connection calls with graduates of the program.
Module 01: The Practitioner's Role
Pleasure is the most holistic birthing tool there is and yet it is rarely introduced as a viable option in birth by practitioners to their clients. We discuss the benefits of pleasure in birth preparation and planning and explore the spectrum of ways in which we can use pleasure to support expectant moms.
Module 02: Foundations for ecstasy
We lay the foundations for Ecstatic Birth Training both for ourselves as practitioners and for our clients, exploring the paradigm of Ecstatic Birth, the key defining factors, the varying spectrum of client needs and aligning ourselves with the best possible outcomes for all.
Module 03: Embodied Empowerment
In this session, we explore the language of the body and its connection to our intuitive feminine nature. The sensation of pleasure is explored as an integral part of this landscape and as a unique and fundamental birthing tool.
Module 04: Integrating Pleasure
Pleasure is the most holistic birthing tool there is, supporting the flow of labor and delivery. We explore the different modalities of accessing pleasure from outside of our bodies during the various stages of labor and delivery.
Module 05: Opening to Pleasure
Pleasure has enormous potential as both tool and outcome in the birthing process, a circular supportive connection that we can hone in on and prepare for personally and to support in our clients. We explore the different modalities of expanding and accessing the pleasure within to enable us to hold the "tone" for Ecstatic Birth and teach our clients to do the same.
Module 06: Body Integration
This month we focus fully on our somatic training and embodiment practices. You will receive short daily exercises to explore your connection to your body, your inner wisdom, and accessing the limitless pleasure that is always flowing within.
Module 07: Disarming Fears
Every birthing mom has fears. Every practitioner has fears. Fears are as much a natural part of the birthing process as being alive. This month we learn strategies to disarm fears so that they are not the governing factor, disrupting the birthing processes.
Module 08: Dancing with the Unexpected
elHow can we transform unexpected scenarios and outcomes in birth into our (and our clients') point of power? How can we learn to play with the unexpected rather than fear it? Birth, like life, doesn't always go to plan. In this module, we learn how to dance with the unexpected, taking our pleasure and power regardless of what the process brings.
Module 09: Client Roadmap
Now that you have the basis of Ecstatic Birth prep, how can you incorporate it into your client work? This month you will receive a curriculum map and suggested workflow for sharing information and practices, with both private clients and groups.
Module 10: Transforming the Culture
Now that you have the basis of Ecstatic Birth prep, how can you incorporate it into your client work? This month you will receive a curriculum map and suggested workflow for sharing information and practices, with both private clients and groups.

"My Clients don't Describe their Births as Painful!"
Samara Concepcion
Doula, UK
"My Clients really appreciate it"
Jada Wilson
Doula, USA
Sheila stands at a threshold, inviting us into our deepest pleasure, where bliss lives in us. Who doesn't need more of that??
Our work together has taken me into a place of ever deepening relaxation, of being in and feeling real pleasure. As a woman, I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to share in this exploration.
As a Doula, this work goes even deeper for me. I end up talking about pain (or rather people talk to me about their fear of pain) practically every day all day long. To break its pervasive hold, I needed to immerse myself in a conversation where pleasure can be a major part of the birth experience…of our life experience! Sheila has a gift in opening that door!
Catherine Stewart-Lindley

"I've been having such success with women attaining such ecstatic and orgasmic births! I'm so grateful."
A new practitioner working in a country with a 80+% c-section rate.
Clara Costa, Childbirth Educator and Doula, Brazil
Incorporating body exercises that I learned in Sheila's training into my routine with my clients helped me to see how being in the body is an important component of ecstatic birth preparations.
I started to feel a sparkle in my eyes and feeling more joyful, by making sessions shorter and giving my clients multiple points of reference for pleasure they could experience here and now and bring into the birth room.
If you are birth practitioner that is intrigued by the idea of helping women in creating their Ecstatic Birth experience, I highly recommend you to start your journey by taking this training. It will transform your perspective, your connection to your body, bring you into a sisterhood with other practitioners and give you a lot of pleasure!"

"This is really revolutionary!"
Robin Illian
Midwife, & Midwifery School Faculty
"It's been a very natural progression to infuse all that I've learned through my Ecstatic Birth Practitioner Training into my work with clients…and not just my pregnant clients but all my women clients.
This is because at the core of Ecstatic Birth is the vibration of love and joy, pleasure and expansion, connection and alignment..
Through Sheila's Ecstatic Birth Practitioner Training I've developed skills to guide clients to their truth, to what feels good to them and how to deepen their awareness of their body intelligence.
The training has equipped me with a language that speaks to a woman's heart because, despite a culture of misinformation, disempowerment and fear around birth, deep inside every woman is the knowing that birth is her super power. I believe women are so ready to receive and awaken the confirmation of what they already know deep inside. Ecstatic Birth is the way of the woman."
Dr Peta Elmer
Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Labor Doula Victoria, Australia
"The Ecstatic Birth Practitioner training is near and dear to my heart not only because I am passionate about transformation childbirth in the U.S., but because it truly brought me healing and clarity that I will be forever grateful for. What I was not expecting to get out of the Ecstatic Birth Practitioner training:
Coming home to my own body. Knowing that I am safe. Feeling love and bliss inside of myself. Experiencing the richness of this human experience. My senses are now experiencing things they had never experienced before.
You may be wondering what this has to do with birth!!! Well, it's everything!!!!
Being present in your body and feeling pleasure is the thing that will allow the labor hormones to flow and will allow you to feel and trust the process. It starts with us!"
Krystina Sloan
Doula, Childbirth Educator, Certified Lactation Counselor Scottsdale, Arizona
"When I began this training, I had recently given birth to my second son. My birth was beautiful, ecstatic and orgasmic, just as my first son's birth also was, and all I wanted was to share this with the world, to make it know that it is SO possible! I lived it twice!
But I felt I needed a strong background to do it. My own experience was not enough. I did a doula training, but it didn't go deep in this direction. And, in fact, I didn't know WHY I had such orgasmic experiences, as I also previously thought it was a matter of good luck! When I discovered this training, I knew it was for me, and I knew it would change my life. But it totally exceeded all my highest expectations. I reconnected to my own body, integrated the body practices in my life in a way that at the end of the course, my nervous system was more regulated than ever before.
I started applying the deep knowledge around pleasure since my first doula client, since the very first modules of this journey, and improved my ability to connect and offer this pleasure to my clients more and more as we moved on. And the best thing was that I finally connected the dots and discovered why and how I did get to have two orgasmic ecstatic births. I tracked all the reasons. I discovered how I had been practicing my whole life, the exact things that would allow this experience.
So it demystified the idea that only some women can experience this. Actually, now I see that all women who experience this kind of birth "spontaneously" had actually already integrated these practices in her life, somehow. And for sure any woman can start during pregnancy, and not only transform the way they birth, but also the way they live. And even a woman who already had pleasurable births can immensely elevate her next birthing experience by applying the Ecstatic Birth Prep by turning these intuitive natural practices into something conscious and intentional.
I strongly recommend anyone interested in this course to just GO FOR IT. It delivered me so much more than I could imagine, and now I feel deeply deeply informed about pleasure and ecstasy in birth, and completely able to offer this pathway to my clients. It is the most incredible revolution someone could do in the Birth World.

"My second go around with this training and it was even JUICER! It doesn't matter if you've been in this work for years or are just beginning to dip your toe, there are always more layers to unfold in this never ending treasure chest of Ecstatic Birth. I love how much this work has not only changed my life, but the life of my clients and those around me!"
Lauren
"Hi my name is Jacqueline and I'm a midwife from Austria. When I first heard about the Ecstatic Birth Training I was curious, because I've never heard something like this. I'm so grateful that I signed up for this program because it changed many parts of my life. I see the experience of birth in a different light and I've learned many things about myself and how pleasure affects everything in your life. For me it is also key to be authentic and speak your truth."
Jacqueline Kien
"I cannot recommend this course enough! It is rich in high quality information from many of the world's leading-practitioners in Ecstatic Birth in digestible bite-sized pieces. There is a beautiful emphasis on community where one will not feel alone in their journey deeper into themselves, birth and life. I have felt supported, celebrated and accounted-for through this whole journey, and continue to reach new layers and depths within myself and my life."

Nyissia - PHD candidate
"I joined the EBPT after meeting Sheila on a Sacred Sexuality Coaching program. I loved the material she was sharing via email and the conversations to transform birth. I listened to many as I prepared to birth my second son. My birth experience was out of this world, ecstatic and orgasmic...I knew after this I wanted to support women to experience the elevated bliss possible in this powerful initiation and where better to go for support in that than to Sheila who had been doing this sacred work for over 10 years.
Sheila has the most dedicated and passionate integrity to her mission and that comes through in every aspect of this training. Her live calls are so beautifully held, so very nourishing. The way she has crafted the training is very multifaceted and easy to integrate with life as a mama, and supportive of life as a mama. The practices are gorgeous and really amplify pleasure and presence in our body and lives. The lectures are so inspiring with some incredibly inspirational teachers.
Sheila goes above and beyond when it comes to supporting you on your personal journey and as birth worker.
This work is SO very important and we can't do it alone so if you're wanting to bring more pleasure into your life and your work sign up! If you show up for what is being offered you will certainly elevate your own experience and hopefully the experience."
Charlotte
"In my certification Pelvic floor program, I was studying the theory and practice of how to help women to experience non-traumatic and pleasurable birth. The pelvic floor program was based on physical exercise and knowledge of pelvic floor anatomy, so when I started the course, I was aware It was possible.
Yet my experience was so tiny.
When I started Sheila's training, I can say that regular practice, meditation, support of the community, webinars, and providing information about other women's Ecstatics birth experiences opened me so much, and I have expanded my body-mind connection to a different level.
This course is MASTERPIECE ABOUT OUR MOTHER NATURE GIFT -PLEASURE. Every woman must get to know and experience it.
I am so grateful to Sheila for creating such a fantastic course for women; she is a knowledgeable, radiant, and attentive teacher.
THANK YOU SHEILA,"
Nadiya Williams
"When I started my EBPT I knew I had to be part of this movement but I didn't know why my soul so badly wanted me to be part of this training. Now I know: this training brought me in a deep connection with myself, my wonderful body and my deepest desires.
I learned to listen to my deepest desires and my pleasure first as this is the way my soul is communicating with me. I am sooo alive now, I feel that I transformed deeply as a feminine and that I was able to integrate my whole feminine self, which is soooo healing. Naturally this has all to do with birth, as birth is the cumulation of live, of being alive.
I just loooove to be part of this wonderful like minded community and although I know that there is still a lot of work that needs to be done, it feels so absolutely amazing to start (and continue) my travel with EB."
Marlene Tagwerker
"The Ecstatic Birth Practitioner training that Sheila has birthed into being has been such an amazing experience and I am so excited to bring more of this work to my clients and community. It has been one of my favorite trainings so far and I can’t wait to have more time to dig in even deeper into the All that Is this training! It is well organized, has an amazing flow and Sheila is such a gifted teacher. It has opened me to experience so much more joy in my life and my practice. I am beyond grateful."
Jen Ballew
"This course has been truly eye-opening regarding the possibilities for pleasure in birth, and in life! The guest teachers are all experts in their field, and Sheila does a wonderful job pulling it all together. I've learned so much and have a huge stack of reading material to go deeper. This course really will change the way you view birth and its transformation of women, as well as connect with your own body and inner wisdom so you can better support birthing families."

Here are a few answers to our most common questions
I hear you and I want you know that this program was created to fit within the pace of your life, not despite it! Every Sunday you will receive an email with the course materials and relevant links for the upcoming week. The weekly commitment to go through all the course materials and attend live calls is a maximum of 3 hours. All the body practices, which I recommend you do at least 3-4x/ week are less than 8 minutes long. I am a big believer that small practices done consistently create monumental change!
The truth is, you make time for the things that are important to you. I suggest putting all the live call dates in your calendar upfront and blocking three hours/ week to really engage with the material. That said, I get it. Sometimes life takes over. We will have several integration weeks to give you a chance to catch up if you fall behind.
We kick off with our orientation call on June 13th at 1pm ET. Live integration sessions are generally Tuesdays, monthly at 1pm ET. There are also bonus practice sessions offered Mondays at 10am and monthly Community Connection Calls which rotate times. If you are unable to make it live, I've got you covered. You'll be able to pre-submit your questions so I can answer them on any Q+As that you are unable to make live. All sessions are recorded and posted for easy access in our private online space.
Yes! Thank you for asking. This is a unique opportunity to mentor with me and get personalized support, practices, and integration throughout the year. As an added layer to the Ecstatic Birth Practitioner Training, I will support 10 practitioners who are fully committed to the vision of Ecstatic Birth in embodying and bring this work out into the world in their unique way. In addition to everything you get in the regular track, Advanced Leadership includes monthly 1:1 coaching sessions and group mastermind sessions. Private coaching offers an opportunity for laser focused support around any "sticky spots" you encounter as you open to pleasure in your body and stand more firmly in your sacred work. Group sessions empower you in your leadership with themes such as: wealth consciousness, being visible, & creating counterculture. If you are interested and would like to discuss it further to see if it is a good fit please email sheila@ecstatic-birth.com with the subject "Advanced Leadership Track".
Yes! You can pay in full or via a payment plan. The earlier you register the longer the payment plan and more accessible the monthly payments.
I have intentionally kept the price of this program low even though what you actually get is easily worth more than ten times as much. I want this to feel like an easy YES. If you feel the YES in your body, but still feel stumped by the financials, consider these Qs:
What is the cost of NOT doing the program? What if you are to continue on the path you are now, fully immersed in the pain game of childbirth? What is the cost to your body? To your optimism? To your ability to stand for the vision of what you know is possible? To your ability to serve your clients?
You are worth the investment. As are your clients.
I do reserve a number of seats in the program at adjusted price points. Please contact me if you live in a country where the currency is significantly devalued against the US to receive Purchase Price Parity consideration. I also offer a limited number of partial scholarships for women who are actively doing birthwork, particularly in underserved communities, but are unable to pay full tuition. Please email me (sheila@ecstatic-birth.com) for consideration.
I do not offer full scholarships as there is a foundational amount of resource required to be successful in this program.
For sure! The breadth and depth of wisdom here and the unique integration of pleasure and body practices into birth work is not available anywhere else on the planet. This course is just as great for someone just getting started as it is for someone who has been working for years because you will all be getting exposed to this material for the first time.
Yes, I stand by the quality of this program. It comes with a full, 7-day money back guarantee from the date of your registration. While the live component of this training begins in June, upon registration you get access to a significant amount of course content. If you determine it is not a good fit for you, you will receive a prompt and courteous refund.
Yes, the Ecstatic Birth Practitioner Training has been approved for 59 CEUs through the International Childbirth Education Association (ICEA). ICEA credits are honored by most certifying organizations, but please do check with yours.
