Intuitive
Birth Coach

Welcome to the first steps of the Intuitive Birth Experience.

I started Intuitive Birth to help parents embrace intuition in the sacred journey of birth and child rearing.

Here I'll share resources to help you; reconnect with your God-given intuitive wisdom, prepare for birth with faith at the center, and raise your children with intention, trust, and spiritual grounding. Whether you are preparing for your first child or navigating new stages of parenting, the Intuitive Birth Experience is designed to nourish your body, strengthen your spirit, and honor the divine role of the birthing mother. Here you are not alone—you are seen, supported, and guided.

"I believe birth is a sacred practice" - Zena Selassie

I’m Zena Selassie, and as a certified doula I help mothers, couples and families prepare for birth and parenting by reconnecting with the God-given wisdom already within them. As a practitioner of Tewahedo Ethiopian Orthodox Christian faith, I am a faith-centered birth coach, mother, and devoted servant of The Holy Trinity. I created the Intuitive Birth Experience to help families like yours honor the spiritual, emotional, and physical dimensions of childbirth.

I believe birth is a sacred practice. I specialize in supporting with families of monotheist faith traditions—Christian, Muslim, Jewish and others—who want to experience birth, postpartum, and parenting by incorporating prayer, spiritual purpose, and a peace that surpasses all.

My coaching is designed to help you prepare with both evidence-based wisdom and spiritual confidence—because our body is designed by God in his image, and your intuition (centering to source) is one of His most precious gifts.
