“Orgasmic Birth is about reframing our story of birth from one of pain to one of power. This training has given me the skills and confidence to discuss how discovering their own pleasures in life can lead to pleasure in birth. This training also connected me with professional birth workers from around the world and gave me an international community of like-minded women who are working hard to improve birth outcomes wherever they live.”

Mary is a proud daughter of a midwife and carries her maternal lineage as a birth worker forward as a birth doula, childbirth educator, and lactation counselor.

Sophia Savage

Inverness, CA

My mother, who had four of her five children at home, told me from the beginning how amazing birth is, her ‘favorite thing to do.’ I am equal measures a devotee of the wisdom of our bodies, and a fierce protector of the sacredness of birth — in any space.” 

Sophia has been working with mothers, newborns and children as a nanny and full spectrum Postpartum Doula for over twenty years, and Birth Doula since 2014.  Her formal birthwork training includes CARRIAGE HOUSE BIRTH Full Spectrum Doula Training (2022), DONA INT’L BINI BIRTH Doula Training (2014) and she is a passionate ORGASMIC BIRTH™ Practitioner and educator.  As a birth doula she brings grounded presence, fearlessness and Love.   

“I was homeschooled in nature, my upbringing deeply rooted in environmental and social activism, non-violence and personal autonomy. I graduated from Smith College with a degree in Film and Theatre, which led to a decades-long career in Hollywood, where I contended with rampant systemic sexism and abuse. My doula work was born out of respect for women and children, as it allows me to alchemize my rage into a shield of love. 

My mother, who had four of her five children at home, told me from the beginning how amazing birth is, her ‘favorite thing to do.’ I am equal measures a devotee of the wisdom of our bodies, and a fierce protector of the sacredness of birth — in any space.” 

Sophia’s skill, compassion and calm in high intensity situations that center primal creativity, embodiment and empowerment is enhanced by decades of experience in movement, performance, filmmaking and community building. She is also a classically trained and certified Pilates teacher.  A true Virgo, Sophia loves being surrounded by natural beauty, good food and music, and laughter.

“I can’t express how grateful I am to take this leap of faith and sign up for this program, it was a life-changing experience, a lot has been alchemized and I felt by the end of the program I stepped into the empowered woman and leader I was meant to be. Studying with Debra is a blessing.”

Lisa Strohdach

Munich, Germany

“I truly believe that saying “what was needed to get the baby in, is needed to get the baby out”. It is my mission to bridge the gap between pleasure and birth. Sex, pregnancy and birth is one big process for our bodies, only our mind and outside conditioning has separated the two from each other. Guiding families through their individual journeys through pregnancy, birth and postpartum is such a privilege to be invited to.”

 
 

Lisa is a certified full spectrum doula and prenatal yoga instructor, providing service to families in Germany and online. She believes that every birthing person has the right to birth in a calm and peaceful environment, that is led with respect and compassion for each individual process. She guides families in their pregnancies to make informed decisions and prepare themselves for the beautiful, challenging and potentially pleasurable event of birth. Embodiment, movement, yoga, meditation, rituals these are all such beautiful ways to bring more pleasure and joy into the preparation for birth. 

She provides 1:1 Doula service in person/+online, as well as prenatal Yoga classes weekly. 
 
She is hosting workshops and retreats for women, to deeply connect to their Vulvina, their inner wisdom and strength. 

Dorene van den Bos

The Netherlands

“I’ve enjoyed this course so much. I feel that in the Netherlands, even though we are usually very open about sex, there is a long way to go and I am honoured that I get to be a part of it. Ive learned so much from Debra, my peers and all the amazing guest teachers, I can’t begin to describe how wonderful it was.”​

 
Dorene is a doula from the Netherlands that’s always believed that there is more to birth than just physically bringing life, there are so many layers.
She believes that by inviting pleasure into your life and into birth opens up the door to so much more.
 
As a doula she guides parents to feel comfortable and full of trust as they can be to welcome their child into the world. Working with Orgasmic birth gives her that extra tool to be able to guide parents even further.

Kerry Burke

“This is a great tool for your clients but also a great time to learn more about yourself and what you’ve been hiding from or afraid to explore. Debra has created such a wonderful program to share with so many birthing people and practitioners! If you’re someone who is more modest, you don’t have to fear the word “orgasmic”. It’s just about feeling good, open to pleasure in all ways and feeling safe in your space. I’m so happy I took the course and stepped out of my comfort zone. It’s helping me professional and in my personal life.”

 
Kerry Burke is the owner and operator of At Peace Birth and Wellness located in Allentown, NJ. I’m a licensed massage therapist, childbirth educator, certified birth doula and infant massage instructor. The combination of experience and education I have gained over the years has allowed me to truly make birth an energetic and safe experience.

Michelle Daga

Cairns, Far North Queensland, Australia

“When we shift our focus from all the ways we can numb pain in birth to instead, all the ways we can enhance pleasure, that is where the magic happens.”

 

Michelle Daga ended a lineage of birth trauma and coercive medical conditioning when she birthed her baby at home.

 
Having personally experienced the lifelong impacts of her mother’s traumatic births, postpartum depression and pathologised depletion, she was determined to bring power and pleasure to her own journey of birth and beyond.
 
It was also a healing reclamation of bodily autonomy and empowerment as a survivor of domestic violence.
 
This transformative experience planted the seeds to the evolution of her life’s work, from professional writer and nutritionist, expanding into birthwork as a childbirth educator, birth mentor and postpartum doula.
 
Michelle now provides 1:1 support and group programs, both online and in person across Cairns and the Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland, Australia.

Cate Moll

Denver/Boulder, Colorado, USA​

“Birth is not something that happens to you, it is something you get to be a part of and facilitate.”

Cate is a birth doula in the Denver/Boulder, Colorado (USA) area.

She is a graduate of Naropa University with two degrees, one in somatic psychology and the other being contemplative neuroscience. With this background, helping others become intimate with their somatic experience and the myriad of nuances it holds, has always been something that has been what she calls her “nerdy, sweet spot”. Having the opportunity to do that while helping a birther through their journey is an absolute dream to her. She is confident in each birthing person’s instincts and she puts all of her energy into making sure their innate power is honored. No matter your birth preferences, Cate will admire you endlessly for it. Her goal is to educate her clients on all their options while making sure they feel safe, empowered and at ease. “This is a birthday party, not a procedure that is happening to you, let’s make birth enjoyable together!”

Ekaterina Baranova

Guatemala city, Guatemala

“Part of my life vision is to contribute big to creating a society where birth, and a role of pleasure, including sexual pleasure, in it, is no longer a taboo but rather a subject of high importance everyone is encouraged to ask questions about, and where most women enjoy their birth experience throughout, come out of it with a deep sense of awe for their body, nature, and life itself, and look back at the day they birthed their children with an immense sense of joy and empowerment.”

Ekaterina is a birth doula and educator fluent in English, Spanish, and Russian. She serves her clients in all three languages in person and remotely. Katerina considers herself lucky to have encountered the information about the possibility of Orgasmic Birth™ in 2011, before the conception of her children. This knowledge allowed her to prepare ahead of time and have a wonderful experience birthing both of her children. These experiences inspired her to become a doula and birth educator in 2016, an Ecstatic Birth™ practitioner in 2017, and an Orgasmic Birth™ practitioner in 2023. She is committed to lifelong learning about everything that helps life: sexuality, health, mindset, and communication, and takes a lot of pleasure in teaching women and helping them to create birthing experiences that are joyful and make amazing memories they want to keep all their lives.

The focus of her current work is on changing our current world birth culture – which is dominated by fear and violence – into a birth culture that is centered around honoring women and that recognizes the nature of women’s sacred function and the importance of a birthing mother’s pleasure and psychological well-being. This passion is reflected in her vision for a Mariposa city project she is a founder of, and in dedicating her time to creating courses for birth practitioners in Russian and Spanish, languages in which information about Orgasmic Birth™ is still not as accessible as in English.

Dr. Zazu Cioce, PT, DPT

Being a part of that community moving forward is such a blessing!!
