Discover how to stay present & self-possessed during the marathon of birth.

Childbirth is a portal into your most sovereign self.

But as a man, what exactly is your role?

 
Under ideal conditions, birth is an initiatory ritual that invites both men & women to step through fear & into radical self-trust. But a man’s role in the birth process can seem murky. You might be wondering…
 
“Do I need to learn all the ins & outs of physiological birth?”
 
“What kind of support should I offer?”
 
“Isn’t there a fine line between showing up & over-stepping?”
 
When a man knows how to be a present, self-contained space-holder, birth can be like a magnetic force that turns up the volume on intimacy, polarity, & connection. But when men don’t offer proper containment, women shut down, & spiral into survival mode. This sea change leads to deep burrowing resentment, frayed sexual connection, & loss of a shared future.
 
If you’re a man who wants to hold space for this sacred rite of passage (and avoid the mistakes that hijack intimacy long-term), join us for a brand new, FREE masterclass.

Birth is one of the last initiatory portals available to modern men & women.

How can we honor its lessons without the social infrastructure that once made thriving after childbirth simple? 

 

Here’s the truth.

 
Men were never intended to be emotional space holders during birth. For thousands of years, women gave birth with help from medicine women, surrounded by sisters, aunts, mothers, & cousins. Men were rarely present for birth: their role was to guard the premises & make sure the necessary provisions were available for their women. 
 
But as society fractures & our neighbors become strangers, most of us lack the support of a family or community system. 
 
As a result, women began leaning on strangers & the medical system, resulting in worldwide high-intervention birth & birth trauma. Because of these distortions, many men are uncertain about their role in birth. 
 
On one end of the spectrum, women (consciously or unconsciously) expect emotional labor that men aren’t built to offer.  Alternatively, men check out, watch Netflix, their eyes glued to their phones, standing by while women give birth. They shrug their shoulders and ask, “This is a woman’s business. What can I really do?”
 
Both scenarios cause polarity to break down, leading to the brother-sister dynamics that result in the demise of so many partnerships.

In this FREE masterclass, led by Dr. Andy Kaufman, you’ll learn effective & powerful perspectives needed by men to support their women throughout the marathon of birth.
