Conscious Childbirth Online
The medical industry currently approaches human birth out of fear and a lack of trust in our body's ability to birth the babies we grow. In my Conscious Childbirth course online, we do not ignore the greater systemic issues that lead so many people to deliver in the hospital at the mercy of a care provider that in most cases they’ve never met until the day of their child’s birth. In fact, we use this FACT as fuel to prepare ourselves as much as possible. This class was designed to remind ourselves of our strength, power, and resilience as birthing people in a world that has lost it’s trust in our bodies. Most of my clients simply cannot afford an out-of-hospital birth or don’t have access to insurance plans that can cover or reimburse for an out-of-hospital birth, or do not have the support of their loved ones due to fear-based practices and stories they’ve heard throughout their lives. For many of my clients, this course helps them achieve an empowered birth experience and becomes the best way for them to change the narrative and break this cycle of traumatic birth in their families.
I am building a community of conscious folks who are not willing to accept the current state of birth in hospitals, and are willing to demand to be treated fairly, and be considered active participants in decision-making about their bodies and their babies throughout their pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum/breastfeeding process.
This starts with being informed and raising our consciousness. We must be grounded in order to be our own greatest advocates. This is also essential to cultivating a healthy sense of self as a parent. Not only are we prepping to birth a child, but when we give birth, we are reborn as well.

Your Instructor
Danellia Arechiga (she/her) is a mother, full spectrum birth worker, and entrepreneur residing in Long Beach, CA.
Birth work first called out to her when she was 14 years old when her nephew Jonathan was born. Birth work eventually overwhelmingly took over Danellia’s life when she was 21 years old, after giving birth to her daughter Corrie-Rai. She took her doula training in 2012 and that same year she was invited by a local midwife to attend her first birth and completely fell in love with the art of supporting the laboring person and family unit. She has since attended over 60 births. She acknowledges and honors her ability to connect with her clients at a higher level of consciousness by observing each person she works with and intuitively helping them exercise their own best coping methods throughout labor and throughout parenthood. ⠀
Since first starting birth work, Danellia has become a childbirth educator, placenta encapsulation specialist, and full spectrum doula (includes support through abortion, pregnancy loss, and postpartum), and traditional postpartum care while integrating consciousness, mindfulness, and ancestral medicine into her work. Danellia is passionate about intersectionality and weaves it into her work as well. Danellia helps people and families of color return to their highest selves through vocal empowerment, birth education, and intergenerational healing through her many offerings which can be found at www.danelliaarechiga.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
"It's been such a pleasure meeting Danellia, and becoming educated by her during my first pregnancy was eye-opening. Hers was the very first childbirth class I ever attended and it was very educational, yet not overwhelming. I'm so glad we got the chance to meet as she is professional and passionate about her job. Would definitely use her services again and hopefully, for my second pregnancy, have her be my doula."
