Sacred Pregnancy Classes with Kristin Revere
|
Sacred Pregnancy began as a book, a spiritual and emotional journal to connect women with their growing babies and their own inner wisdom and has become a movement. Bringing back the age-old tradition of women sitting with one another during pregnancy and birth, Sacred Pregnancy classes consist of an eight week series entitled Pregnancy Journey and a follow-up four week couples series called the Birth Journey. Each class provides a unique opportunity for expectant mothers to gather together, connect with one another and share their pregnancy experiences in meaningful and personal ways.
Participants witness one another’s transformation and transition into this powerful rite of passage, and are invited to look deeply at the issues unique to their journey and find a centered, peaceful place to live their pregnancy fully and approach birth with courage and inner strength.

She has been teaching Sacred Pregnancy birth and pregnancy journey courses in Grand Rapids since April of 2013 and is the first person to be certified in Michigan as a Sacred Pregnancy instructor and for Sacred Postpartum services.
“Sacred Pregnancy classes give women the opportunity to connect with and support each other during this time of transformation. That connection is what is missing in traditional birthing classes. I am thrilled to be able to provide this unique service to the new mamas of my community and I am happy to join with Crowning Lotus Doula Services to provide comprehensive care for women during pregnancy and the postpartum time. Two members of the Crowning Lotus team attended my last birth and made it a beautiful and intervention-free experience. I look forward to working with them to honor and support women by offering Sacred Pregnancy classes Sacred Postpartum services to the community.” - Kristin Revere Contact: 616-340-1086 / sacredpregnancygr@gmail.com |
Testimonials
"Sacred Pregnancy empowered me in the most beautiful of ways. I came to know a circle of women who supported one another's views and one another's insatiable cravings. I confronted my fears of labor and motherhood while also celebrating my growing baby bump. Sacred Pregnancy prepared me emotionally and spiritually for the all natural birth of my wonderful son."

This program will undoubtedly give you a new appreciation for your pregnancy and for your own personal power." - Amber
"I’m so excited for my first pregnancy, as well as to give birth naturally and at home. My midwives told me to consider an array of birthing classes and I chose Sacred Pregnancy after running into instructor Kristin Revere following my prenatal appointment.
Initially, I was concerned about the course for reasons including what I thought would be a new age approach and philosophy. As a Christian, I’m not uncomfortable surrounded by others’ beliefs but didn’t want to feel excluded on a spiritual level in such an important class, and at such an important time. I now feel I was divinely lead to Kristin and the Sacred Pregnancy course. Not only was it not offensive to my worldview, I was pushed and stretched in areas where my faith most calls for it. The most important lesson to me personally was on forgiveness; forgiving those in my life in order to rid my body and spirit of this poisonous baggage for the benefit of my pregnancy and delivery. I’m delighted to have shared this eight-week journey with the other women in my class, each coming from a different life experience and worldview. I grew hungrier as the weeks went by for the community, wisdom shared and sisterhood strengthened during our time together. Kristin Revere’s leadership in Sacred Pregnancy is inspired. She was patient and gentle with each of us, yet directed our sessions with firm confidence. I highly recommend this course to all women seeking a wholesome experience with pregnancy and birth in an uplifting environment. " - Karisa Sprite (Wilson) |
"This class provides a comforting environment where one can fully embrace the journey of pregnancy, as opposed to letting the sacred time just slip by. Kristin is a kind soul, and anyone, regardless of past or present circumstances with pregnancy and/or labor would feel welcome and can certainly benefit from the series of Sacred Pregnancy Classes."
- Lindsay 
"Sacred Pregnancy was an immense joy during my pregnancy. The weekly class was the highlight of my week for those eight weeks. Our collective creative endeavors are something I will always cherish and keep close to my heart. Being Native American, I greatly appreciated the rituals and ceremonies which were not dissimilar to my own personal and traditional tribal ways. The best part was the sisterhood that we developed between us. I honestly grew a genuine fondness and love for Kristin and my classmates and I feel like I have gained lifelong sisters and friends. My pregnancy and birth was of a more human/spiritual experience instead of a medical experience. My life and soul is richer because of Sacred Pregnancy." - F.M.
"A safe, peaceful haven to share, to be myself, to release fears, anxieties, doubts and regrets; a joyful celebration in which to embrace and give reverence to the miracle of creation within me; a purposeful practice of supporting my sisters and allowing them support me in our shared journey; my Sacred Pregnancy class was this and so much more. I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to make the most of their pregnancy and prepare themselves for a peaceful birth." - Megan.
