This is your body, your baby, your family
Birthing is a spontaneous, creative experience that cannot be planned or forced. There is an innate wisdom within human beings to birth their babies.
In this program you will gain an awareness and confidence about birth, inspiring you to actualize this wisdom. Sharing this experience can help you create a bond of trust and love, the foundation of your family.
Birth is a normal, natural and healthy process
Women and babies have the inherent wisdom necessary for birth. A spontaneous vaginal birth is likely to be the safest and most satisfying option for you. The majority of women can birth without any interventions.
Now, more than ever, there is an urgency to raise our consciousness about birth
Today, with 98 percent of U.S. births experiencing routine medical interventions, we are losing our understanding of what normal birth is.
Cesarean Section rates have soared along with induction of labor, epidural anesthesia, forceps and vacuum deliveries. One woman in 20 gave birth by c-section in 1970. Today, 1 in 3 does.
