Birthing from Within logo

Birthing from Within is a holistic approach to childbirth preparation that integrates mind, body, and soul.  It offers you the opportunity to go deep within and discover what you need to know to give birth and become a parent.  Whether you are birthing at home, a birthing center, or the hospital, and whether you are planning a natural birth, medicated birth, or a cesarean birth, Birthing from Within prepares you to birth-in-awareness.

Through a variety of creative and experiential processes you can view birth from different perspectives and expand your expectations.  T
he Birthing from Within approach differs from other childbirth methods by taking you beyond the physical aspect of birth into an exploration of the emotional and spiritual aspects.  
It is here where you can access deep, intuitive knowing.

Equally important is knowing what your options are in today's birth culture and having research-based information.  Birthing from Within is an approach that beautifully integrates both kinds (heart and mind) of knowing. 


Topics covered in class include:

  • Experiencing birth as a rite of passage
  • Eating mindfully
  • How to "lose it" in labor
  • Learning pain-coping techniques that work
  • Asking questions and making decisions in labor
  • How to build confidence in yourself and your partner
  • The compassionate use of medications
  • Pushing your baby out
  • Giving birth from within during a cesarean birth
  • Welcoming and caring for your baby
  • Recovering and honoring yourself during postpartum
  • The art of breastfeeding and nourishing your baby


Birthing from Within classes are about self-discovery
.  They honor the spirituality of birth and remind you that the journey through Laborland and Birth is a profound rite of passage.

Birthing from Within classes do not use a rigid, standard curriculum each series.  Instead, they are gourmet classes created according to the parents attending each series.  They are fun, lively, and interesting!  Parents will also receive a beautiful Birthing from Within Keepsake Journal to further their exploration during pregnancy and through their first year as parents.
