Grounding Before Birth
A Ceremony Celebrating YOU During Your Third Trimester
There is a transformation that occurs when you give birth. It’s not just physical. It’s mental, emotional and for many, a spiritual experience as well.
As you approach the birth of your baby, you know life will no longer look the same, yet you’re still in the mystery of what’s to come.
Ceremonies mark transitional moments in our lives. They provide us with context and point toward the deeper meaning of our experience.
By surrounding ourselves with the collective wisdom of our community we receive insights that inspire our growth and prepare us for what’s to come.
The Grounding Before Birth Ceremony is an opportunity to root into your intuition and courageously trust yourself as you prepare for birth.
Courageously Trust Yourself
We invite you and, up to, two people in your circle of support, to gather at a beautiful sanctuary in Central Vermont. Not sure who to ask or want to join on your own? Learn more here.
Your Grounding Before Birth Guides are experienced practitioners. Jessica Buckley is a Professional Coach and Wilderness Guide and Amy LePage is a Pregnancy & Postpartum Somatic Practitioner, Childbirth Educator. Learn more about your guides here.
During our time together you'll be invited to relax into a caring container co-created by our community. With breathwork, movement and creative expression you'll empower your unique birthing journey by embodying your strength.

Meet Your Guides
Jessica Buckley, NCC
Professional Coach & Wilderness Guide
From a young age Jess wondered how the world might be different if we were actually encouraged to listen to our hearts. It wasn't until she found her sense of belonging in nature that she began to follow the breadcrumb trail leading her to where she is today – guiding others into their place of personal power. Jess is a Certified Coach and Wilderness Guide. You can find her hiking and biking with her partner and two daughters in the Green Mountains.
Amy LePage, CSP, CCCE

Knowing the deep importance of body-wise presence during transitional, threshold life moments, Amy offers support and education for pregnant and new families as they prepare for these times. Amy is a Somatic Bodyworker, Holistic Childbirth and Somatic Movement Educator. She is enjoying some new spaciousness for continual growth in the areas that light her up while cheering her sons on as they prepare to leave home and head out into the world.
