Imagine holding your baby for the first time... How do you WANT to feel?
Calm?
Strong?
Present?
Right now, it probably just feels overwhelming.
Everyone has an opinion and a horror story (and they think you NEED to hear them).
But none of it is helping you feel more prepared for YOUR birth.
You’ve been Googling symptoms, scrolling birth videos, comparing checklists… But the more you research, the more you realize...
You don’t know what you don’t know.
Are 39-week inductions good or bad?
Should you wait to go to the hospital or get there as early as possible?
Do you want an epidural or will it slow down labor?
And what even is a vacuum delivery? Do you get a say in that?
That’s not even getting into your baby’s first 24-hours… Newborn medications, screenings, baths, feeding, sleep…
It can feel like you’re already behind.Â
Why does it feel like everyone else already knows all this stuff?
Â
You deserve better prep than piecing together TikToks and Reddit threads.
That’s why this course exists.
Welcome Earthside focuses on what actually happens during birth, so you're ready for the real thing.
Built by a labor and delivery nurse, this course is packed with evidence-based, real-world guidance so you walk in informed, confident, and ready to speak up when it matters.
Â
Here’s what that looks like:
✨ You feel calm and grounded because you understand what’s happening in your body.
✨ You can relax and trust your care team because you know what they’re looking for and how to collaborate.
✨ You make confident decisions, even when things don’t go to plan.
✨ You stay present and in control, because you’ve already thought through your options and values.
✨ You feel seen and heard, because you know how to speak up with clarity.
Â
Your hospital birth can be safe, supported, and empowering.

What You'll Learn
This bundle includes lifetime access to the three most important modules to help you prepare for labor, delivery, and those first hours with your baby. Each module has videos where I walk you through various topics. They also each have a workbook with the written information, guiding questions, and birth affirmations.
(PLUS, you'll get access to our Welcome Earthside Mamas community, where I hang out to answer questions.)
Vaginal Birth
I walk you through each stage of labor and what we look for in the hospital: how we monitor contractions, cervical checks, what progress looks like, what early labor feels like, and when we admit you. We’ll talk about pain management, pushing, delivery, and the early recovery process. You’ll know what’s happening and why.
Cesarean Section
I explain when and why a C-section might be recommended, what the procedure involves, and how recovery works in the hospital and at home. Whether it’s scheduled or unplanned, you’ll understand how the team prepares you, how you meet your baby, and what to expect in the hours after.
Newborn Care
I teach you what happens during your baby’s first 24 hours—from skin-to-skin and newborn medications to diaper changes, jaundice checks, and safe sleep. You’ll know what’s routine, what’s normal, and when to ask for help. You'll have the evidence-based info you need to make those first decisions in your child's life.
But what does all that mean?
- You'll understand the hospital's staff language, so you stay an active participant and informed.
- You'll be equipped to make evidence-based decisions that align with your values.
- You'll be prepared to advocate for yourself and your baby, ensuring you are seen and heard.
- You'll know what's happening in your body and around you.
- I can't promise your birth will look exactly like your dream scenario, but I can say this:
Knowledge brings you one giant step towards having a beautiful birth that leaves you feeling empowered, strong, and connected to the process and your baby.

What Makes The Birth Core Bundle Different?
- I am actively working as a bedside labor, delivery, postpartum, and recovery nurse. This course is based on information I want my patients to have (and that I was glad to have in my births).
- Everything in this course is evidence-based information. It’s NOT my opinions or fluffy views of birth. Instead, it is real, practical information you can use to develop your own opinions and views.
- Under topics where people tend to want to dive deeper, I provide additional resources and reliable sources for further research.
- I cover not just what happens to your body during birth, but what you should expect from your hospital. I explain what’s happening to you and what your birth team should be doing or looking for. At the end, you should be able to better communicate with your team to collaborate with them for the birth experience that keeps you and your baby safe and aligns with your values.
- This is not just a birth course to help your survive the process. This is a course to help you embrace your hospital birth while making informed decisions for you and your baby.
HI! I'M SANDIE!
(Nice to meet you!)
I’ve always been passionate about the magic of birth. I started as a doula and now work as an LDRP (labor, delivery, recovery, and postpartum) nurse, nurse educator, and NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation Program) instructor. Supporting mamas as they bring their babies Earthside is truly the best job.
But one of the hardest parts is when someone doesn’t have the information they need to make an informed choice. In the hospital, things can move fast. Pain, exhaustion, or pressure can make it hard to learn in the moment.
That’s why I created Welcome Earthside. It’s the evidence-based education I wish every mama had before labor, so you can make decisions with confidence and feel empowered through your entire birth experience.

This isn’t a birth philosophy. This is the information I am thankful I had when I gave birth.
Â
When I gave birth to my first child, I had already been a labor and delivery nurse for years. I had these tools and this knowledge. I came in with a solid plan and coping mechanisms. But my body humbled me.
My daughter’s birth developed a number of complications that ended up taking me dramatically away from the unmedicated, all-natural birth I had planned. Instead, it involved an induction, an infection, a hail-Mary epidural, and a vacuum delivery with the C-section team at the door.
Friend, it was a lot.
But every step of the way, I understood what the doctor was telling me. When we changed courses, I made educated decisions aligned with evidence-based information and my personal values. I stayed an active participant in my daughter’s birth and, at the end, felt the power of my birth story.
For many women, though, the wild twists and turns left them feeling blindsided by their birth. We do everything we can to educate at the bedside, but through the pain and intensity of labor, it is not the best time to take in information. Not to mention, there is not always time to truly understand what is happening.
That, coupled with the horror stories and opinions abounding online can leave women feeling unfulfilled with their birth experience.
Let’s change that. Fear and unknowns do not have to be your story.
Now is the moment to take control. Learn the information. Gain the knowledge to make evidence-based, informed, and empowered decisions for you and your baby.
Walk into that hospital in control, mama. This is your birth and your story and, no matter what, you are in control.
Take charge now.
