Hi, I am Natalie
Hello there! I’m Natalie Beaty, and I’ve been doing birth work for the last 7 years, working as an assistant to midwives and being a doula.
✨ I believe that birth doesn’t have to feel uncertain. ✨
I work with moms who want to truly understand their options, their bodies, and what a normal labor can look like. By offering evidence-based resources, I help you feel prepared—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally—so you can navigate the unknowns with confidence.
My support is especially valuable for moms who want to feel at peace with whatever direction their birth may take. Together, we create a flexible plan A, B, and C that centers your voice, your choices, and your baby’s well-being—so no matter what happens, you’ll feel supported and in control.
This work is personal. When I had by first baby, I remember the moment I felt that couldn’t continue laboring anymore and seeing how much farther I had to go. I remember feeling like my body had failed me and that this dream birth I wanted wasn’t going to happen. But I was reminded from my support team that my body had worked very hard and was tired; and that after getting rest I could continue working my baby down. They reminded me that this transfer was not the end of my story and that I could still choose to have a vaginal birth.
I pulled from my education and made informed choices; and maintained peace of mind. What I got to experience with unexpected changes in my labor is what I believe every mom deserves. That’s why I do this work. If you’re looking to make informed choices no matter what direction your labor might go–I see you. You don’t have to do it alone.
This profession has been shown to increase better birth outcomes, are 2x less likely to experience a birth complication, and 4x less likely to have a low birth weight baby.
Regardless of your provider or place of birth, doula support can reduce the need for any of the following interventions:
50% Reduction in cesarean sections
25% shorter labors
60% reduction in epidurals
30% reduction in pain medication use
40% reduction in forceps delivery
40% reduction in pitocin use

I believe it is possible to create an environment in labor and birth that protects the vulnerability mother’s experience. That is why I hold space, respect, guard, and encourage the mother as she wishes to experience it. Clients are empowered by choosing who they want to higher in assistance with this process, choosing the best place (hospital, birth center, or home), health care provider (OBGYN, CNM, CPM, LM, etc), and any additional support (doulas, sibling child care, family, or friends).
Resources for midwives, massage therapists, chiropractors, and more will be given to help ensure your pregnancy journey will be the best it can be, reducing risks during labor, and improving recovery.
Services
Here is a list of services that will be offered:
➢Before your due date, I will meet with you a few times so we can get to know each other.
Discuss how to best support you, such as providing supportive referrals to ensure you have the best birth possible (for example, a chiropractor, acupuncture provider, pelvic floor physical therapist
or prenatal massage therapist), and go through a few basic childbirth education touch points.
➢ I offer options for non-medical pain-management techniques including massage, acupressure, aromatherapy, music and mantras. Trying different combinations and positions will help to find what’s right for you.
➢ I will help advocate for you in your most vulnerable times in labor and in the immediate postpartum period. Ensuring that your voice is heard and your preferences are honored by your medical team.
➢ I include your partner (support person) with knowledge and tools to enhance the support they give you— and even help them relax, which in turn will help you relax.
As I work to become a Certified Midwife, I would be honored to offer what I’ve learned as you expand your family.
If you’re ready to step into birth with clarity and confidence, I’d love to invite you to a free consultation where we can explore what support looks like for you.
“The wisdom and compassion a woman can intuitively experience in childbirth can make her a source of healing and understanding for other women.” -Ina May Gaskin
My Role
In my philosophy of care, I believe in each client having full informed consent on any decisions made for mother and baby.
As I continue training to work towards getting my CPM (Certified
Professional Midwife), I believe in the philosophy and care of the midwifery model.
This includes:
● Pregnancy and childbearing are usually normal physiological processes.
• Pregnancy and childbearing is a profound experience, which carries significant meaning to the
woman, her family, and the community.
• Midwifery care promotes, protects and supports women’s human, reproductive and sexual health
and rights, and respects ethnic and cultural diversity. It is based on the ethical principles of justice,
equity, and respect for human dignity.
• Midwifery care is holistic and continuous in nature, grounded in an understanding of the social,
emotional, cultural, spiritual, psychological and physical experiences of women.
• Midwifery care is emancipatory as it protects and enhances the health and social status of women
and builds women’s self confidence in their ability to cope with childbirth.
• Midwifery care takes place in partnership with women, recognizing the right to self determination,
and is respectful, personalized, continuous and non-authoritarian.
• Ethical and competent midwifery care is informed and guided by formal and continuous education,
scientific research and application of evidence

My Life & Passions
When I first found out I was pregnant in 2021, I couldn’t wait to become a mom, but I also had a lot of worries. I knew I wanted a natural, intervention-free birth, but as a first-time mom, I was anxious about things not going according to plan. What if I needed a C-section or pain relief I didn’t want? What if I lost control of the situation? My pregnancy was challenging, but I leaned on my support system—midwives, doulas, and friends who had walked the path I hoped to follow. I made sure to fuel my body properly and trust my intuition, knowing that while labor might be unpredictable, I could prepare for whatever came my way.
When labor finally came, I was induced and spent 50 hours at home working through contractions, trying everything to move things along. After two days, I realized I needed rest in order to give myself the best chance for a natural birth, so I decided to go to the hospital and get an epidural. That rest allowed my body to do what it needed, and after 6 hours, I woke up almost fully dilated, without Pitocin or additional interventions. In the end, I pushed my baby boy out with strength and confidence. It wasn’t the birth I initially envisioned, but it was still my birth—a beautiful, empowering experience where I had control over every decision I made and was supported every step of the way.
I share this with you because I know many of you are worried about things not going as planned, or about losing control of your birth experience. The truth is, with the right support, mindset, and preparation, you can have the birth you desire. I’m here to help women like you—women who want a natural, intervention-free labor—to feel informed, empowered, and confident, no matter what your birth looks like. If you’re ready to create the birth experience you want, reach out today and let me help you prepare for your most empowering journey into motherhood.
