or you are currently between pregnancies,
NOW is the very best time to invest in
building your healthiest pre-pregnant self!
The Preparing for Pregnancy mentoring package provides you with respectful care, a personalized plan, and professional experience to guide you through the holistic groundwork for your healthiest pregnancy, birth, and baby.
We’ll work together on-on-one for 4 months as I walk you through building the foundation of a healthier you (and dad) to maximize your fertility and the health of your future pregnancies and babies. Regardless of where you are starting from, this is a special opportunity to go to the next level of well-being while working hand-in-hand with a holistic midwife and health coach who has spent decades empowering women with natural health care from pregnancy through postpartum and extended breastfeeding. I take the time to listen, and to craft a comprehensive and practical approach unique to you.
Introducing
4 months of Personalized Mentoring with a Holistic Midwife
I’m Beth Barbeau
I’ve had the honor of spending the last 40+ years being in 1000’s of families’ lives as their homebirth midwife, natural health expert, and the owner of Indigo Forest, the store & class studio I founded to empower families in natural health and parenting.

Here’s exactly what you’ll get in Preparing for Pregnancy
My personal review of your extensive health history intake form prior to our first appointment, to identify unhealthy patterns and brewing issues that might be improved before pregnancy.
An initial 90-minute virtual consultation, where we’ll discuss your priorities, look together at your current situation, and get into the specific details of the most ideal changes. This may include individualized suggestions for food, exercise, supplementation, botanical medicine, homeopathy, plant stem cell therapy, circadian rhythms, limiting environmental exposures etc.
Three tune-up consults, each 30 minutes long, once a month for the next three months. We will review and advance your plan, problem-solve, answer any questions, and make sure that you have the support and connection that helps positive change take root over time.
Each consult is followed-up by an email synopsis that includes highlights of our visit, details of any suggestions, linked sources for any recommendations, and related resources for learning more. You have the unique opportunity to learn and grow as extensively as you desire throughout this process.
Email access for questions that pop up between our visits together.
You’ll also receive copies of my two new e-books!
I am so excited for women to get their hands on these before they get pregnant!

What you can expect from your Preparing for Pregnancy mentoring experience
To feel cared for, thoughtfully informed, and respected in your health care experience.
To have your eyes opened to the simple places you can begin immediately, and understand which deeper changes might be needed for the most ideal outcomes (and why).
To experience a satisfying experience with a sensitive healthcare professional who cares about which therapeutic approaches you value and find comfortable, and who also has an extensive collection of fresh ideas for your consideration.
To be an active and responsible participant to achieve maximum benefit.
Women often start to be very motivated about their health when baby fever begins to urgently strike. Some women feel the fever and rush right into ‘trying for a baby’, but wise women understand that their health and the right preparation is key.
The reality is that health conditions rarely improve under the physical strain of pregnancy, and the more robust and deeply nourished mothers are BEFORE they go into pregnancy, the healthier the expression their baby’s DNA has the opportunity to be.
This has the potential to result in fewer issues like eczema, asthma, colic, growth issues or chronic illness in your baby.
This could mean a more secure pregnancy, less morning sickness, and fewer ‘discomforts of pregnancy’,
a smoother birth with reduced risk for excessive bleeding,
and less postpartum depression for you.
Not to mention all of the long-term health benefits for you and your baby!
Rebalancing common conditions in the mother literally reduces the risk of certain chronic conditions and deadly diseases her child’s later adult life. In addition, there are therapeutic treatments that can greatly improve the health of potential mothers and fathers in 2024, and in turn the health of future babies, but that cannot be done during pregnancy or extended nursing. Examples of such critical considerations include addressing adrenal or iodine deficiencies (beyond crude minimums), parasitic or fungal conditions, heavy metal contamination, or dental conditions.
Investing in your present and long term health now will change the health of your future family in magnificent ways.
I hear all the time, “I know I need to start getting healthier, but I’m lost/too overwhelmed/don’t know where to begin.” If this is you, let’s team up this Fall to help you establish the vitality and rhythms that will not only set the stage for your healthiest pregnancy possible - you’ll also be on track for the healthiest family life in which to raise your precious child.

Frequently Asked Questions:
-
Our initial consult will be in October, and subsequent follow-ups in Nov, Dec, and Jan (to get you through the holidays and off to a great New Year!)
After your purchase, I'll reach out to you for a brief conversation and to look at our calendars together to pick a mutually convenient appt. time. You'll also get a link to a health history form to fill out and return at least a week prior to our meeting.
-
YES! This is a personalized approach, and it has to work for YOU! That's one of the great things about one-on-one mentorship, is that we can tweak as we go along as needed. So your budget, your tastebuds, your time available all are part of figuring out how to make this work for you.
Also, it DOES take time (and sometimes money) to care for ourselves. As a single mom and homebirth midwife, I've personally learned the hard way about the long-term consequences of not making the time to deeply care for ourselves through even just the simplest action like sleep. So I will be (kindly) making the case that no matter how busy your are at work, or how busy with lots of kids already, that long-term health and feeling good requires more than just the 'right pill'. I've become an expert over the years at sensitively helping overwhelmed women find that little niche to take their first steps towards the healthier life they crave.
-
Great question. No, not really.
However, how much change and benefit would you like to have?
I've found most women to be inspired and enthusiastic after our appointments, eager to institute positive changes now that they understand why they are important and how to go about them. They also express enjoying the one-on-one personal experience of learning what they can do themselves to improve the health of their whole family. Most of us are eager do what we can to feel better, but just need the information, guidance, and a motivating buddy to help get us pointed in the right direction and our questions answered.
Many clients have reported huge changes shifting even just about 10-15 minutes/day. If there is no exercise time in your schedule right now, there may be a need for 20 minutes to fit something in. It's not uncommon for some sort of supplementation or nutrients to helpful, it varies depending on the corrections needed. You'll always know why, and it's of course your choice about whether to use any and where you purchase them. This is NOT a gateway pitch to a large purchase or recurring program.
Just think, you could be spending time and money on…
The latest thing from Amazon that a stranger praised in the chat group
Impersonal programs with ill-disguised goals to sell you the next (bigger) thing
Struggling to follow guidelines that you aren’t sure are best for you, or maybe sure about at all
Brusque ‘wellness’ medical appointments that leave you feeling frustrated and unsatisfied, and on your own to figure out what you need
Feeling isolated and defeated as you accumulate downloads and products, but not answers or results
‘Health’ advice that is rooted in everything BUT health, not to mention a lack of experience with holistic approaches in maternity care!
