FAQs
What’s included in the Uncharted Group Program?
4.5 - 5 Hours (depending on whether you choose to attend in-person of virtually) of focused learning time in a small group full of support, reflections, spotlight coaching, deep dives & exercises to get you ready for your birth (whatever that turns out to be)
Interactive workbook & curriculum that goes alongside our in-session work to deepen & expand your discoveries as we go
Email access to Amelia before during & after Uncharted—I’ll be here every step of the way
And probably some other fun/rich things that I’ll add along the way because I cannot help myself!
Is this group only for pregnant folks who’ve never given birth before, or will I benefit even if it’s not my first rodeo?
If you’re pregnant and want to prepare (more) deeply for your birth experience: this group is for you, whether you’ve given birth before (however many times), or not.
I’ve found that some of the folks who crave this kind of preparation most have already been through their first (or multiple) births, and really want to head into the next one differently.
Will the group be held virtually, or in person?
Great question—both! The next in-person version will be held on Sunday May 26th, 10:30am-4:30pm in Oakland CA.
And we’re putting together a 3-part virtual version also for sometime this Summer so that anyone can join us from anywhere!
What size group are we talking here?
I like to keep it cozy, so it won’t be more than 6-8 people per group. And it very well could be less. (I’m happy to answer these types of questions w/ more detail once registration opens and I have more specific info.)
Will I be the only [queer person, trans person, BIPOC person, etc.] person holding marginalized identity/ies?
Send us a message and we’ll share (demographic info, not personal info) re: how the current group is forming in terms of identities.
We’re committed to giving you a real-time answer on this one.
Will we have a group confidentiality agreement?
Absolutely. Along with other group agreements we’ll craft together at the top, keeping what we explore together between us is a commitment we’ll all make.
Is this a therapy group?
No, it is not. I am a credentialed Drama Therapist (RDT 663), but we will not be doing therapy in this group. Uncharted is a support circle for pregnant folks to help them (you!) go deeper into what birth means for them, what the experience may bring up for them, and how to lay the groundwork for the best possible (read: unique to you) support for birthing itself—I’m just the facilitator. :)
How do we get started?
You can get on the interest list for the next round of Uncharted right now, and you’re welcome to send a message anytime!
What is your refund policy?
In general, we do not offer refunds because this is a live group program with a limited number of spots. If you have any questions about whether Uncharted is right for you, please reach out to me prior to purchasing: here’s the link to send me a message. Also: I’d be happy to hop on a short no-pressure call with you to help you figure out if Uncharted feels like the right fit for you (or not).
What if I have other questions—can I contact you?
Of course! I’d love to hear from you, and answer any questions you’ve got.
