About Me

For over a decade, I’ve worked as a Nurse-Midwife, and prior to that, I’ve been immersed in the birth world - as a doula, childbirth educator, prenatal yoga instructor, labor and delivery nurse, and women’s health nurse practitioner. In every role, I’ve witnessed the incredible strength, vulnerability, and wisdom that emerge when someone is growing, birthing and parenting the next generation.

During my years as a birth professional, I have spent the majority of my time caring for folks who are planning to give birth in the hospital. I know that those 15-minute appointments often translate to only 7 actual minutes with your provider. I know that people often walk away from visits wishing they had gotten more...

Now, as a Perinatal Coach, my aim is to offer MORE. More time to get all your questions answered, more space to process how you’re feeling, more resiliency when things don’t go according to plan, more ease in decision-making, more understanding about what to expect in pregnancy, birth, and life with a new baby.

My approach is rooted in trust, compassion, and the belief that when we holistically care for pregnant people and families, we are also positively shaping generations to come. Together, we’ll uncover what are your biggest questions and challenges, connect you with your values and inner wisdom, and help you reclaim birth as a rite of passage.

    Gwendolyn Bright

  • "Audrey’s guidance was invaluable. I had never worked with a...coach before and wasn’t sure what to expect, but from our very first session, I began seeing tangible results and benefits. Audrey helped me reframe the areas where I felt insecure and encouraged me to see challenges in a different light. She also guided me in setting attainable mini-goals toward my larger ambitions, making a big transition feel much more manageable."

    Lindsay B

  • "My coaching journey with Audrey has been so impactful in helping me find the focus and confidence to pursue my goal of exercising [after having kids] again.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Perinatal Coaching & Education is for you if you working toward a specific goal related to pregnancy, birth or postpartum. This could be preparing for birth, starting or maintaining exercise during pregnancy, or resuming exercise postpartum, balancing career and parenthood, etc. You want to spend more time talking to a trusted resource about these topics and your options within them, or you have particular fears or challenges you are working through related to pregnancy, birth or parenting.

    However, coaching with me is not for you if you are currently struggling with active addiction, unmanaged mental health issues, or a present crisis.

  • I have a whole pot of alphabet soup behind my name! I am a Board Certified Nurse Coach (NC-BC), Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner (WHNP), Registered Nurse (RN), and Certified Yoga & Prenatal Yoga Teacher (CYT-200h). I hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International, and have completed certification as a Nurse Life Coach through Nurse Life Coach Academy, in addition to training as a doula and childbirth educator through Birthing From Within.

    While I may incorporate information and knowledge I’ve gained as a CNM, WHNP and RN, it is important to note that I do not offer medical assessment, diagnosis or treatment as part of our work together. For these types of questions, I will redirect you to your medical provider.

  • Regular pregnancy, birth and parenting classes focus primarily on information and resources. Together, we will also explore your (and your partner’s) own strengths and resources, personal and cultural beliefs. With my background in coaching, our sessions will involve elements of goal-setting, reframing long-held beliefs, and values-based decision making.
