Birthing From Within
Childbirth Preparation & Mentoring Classes
​
Birthing From Within is a philosophy and system of holistic childbirth preparation that views pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period as a rite of passage for expecting parents. In preparation of this unique time in a person's life, these classes focus on the inner as well as the outer landscapes of the birthing experience, supporting parents in gathering up the resources and skills needed to birth with confidence. Preparations include learning and practicing pain-coping techniques, connecting to each individual's sense of inner wisdom and strength, gathering the information needed to make informed decisions throughout the process, and discovering ways in which preparing for labor and birth are part of one's larger life journey.
